The Wheel of the Year marks eight sacred celebrations that align with the solar cycle. These sabbats — four astronomical events and four agricultural cross-quarter days — form the backbone of most modern Pagan and Wiccan practice.
The Eight Sabbats
Samhain (Oct 31) — The witch's new year. The veil thins and ancestors walk close. Honor the dead, scry for the year ahead, release what must die.
Yule (Dec 20-23) — Winter solstice. The sun is reborn. Celebrate light in darkness, decorate with evergreens, burn the Yule log.
Imbolc (Feb 1-2) — Bridgid's feast of fire. First stirrings of spring. Cleanse your home, light all the candles, plant intention seeds.
Ostara (Mar 20-23) — Spring equinox. Balance of light and dark. Eggs, seeds, and new beginnings. Perfect for fertility and growth magic.
Beltane (May 1) — Fire festival of passion. Dance the maypole, kindle the Beltane bonfire, celebrate life force and creativity.
Litha (Jun 20-23) — Summer solstice. The sun's peak power. Gather herbs at their most potent, work sun magic and abundance spells.
Lughnasadh / Lammas (Aug 1) — First harvest. Gratitude and sacrifice. Bake bread, share abundance, honor what you've grown.
Mabon (Sep 20-23) — Autumn equinox. Second harvest. Balance, gratitude, and preparation for the dark half of the year.
