Pagan Holidays and Sabbats
Pagan holidays are seasonal celebrations and sabbats Wiccans call the Wheel of the Year. Each celebration honors the turning of the seasons and marks a shift in light.
Upcoming Pagan Holidays
For ancient peoples, these pagan holiday gatherings were more than just social events. They were vital points of survival, celebrating harvests, planting, and the changing of the sky. Today, witches honor these celebrations, and we remember what it means to live in rhythm with the earth.
Autumn Holidays
Autumn marks the gathering season. The air cools and the earth begins to rest.
Witches honor balance and face the mystery of endings. The veil grows thin, and we remember that letting go is its own kind of magic.
Winter Holidays
Winter brings silence and rest. The light fades, yet within the stillness something sacred stirs.
Witches celebrate the reminder that warmth and hope are born in darkness. Winter holds the promise of beginning again.
Spring Holidays
Spring is the season the sun returns. The cold begins to soften, new buds appear, and the land reawakens.
Witches use this time to focus on beginnings and renewal, planting seeds and intentions. The Spring Equinox and Beltane remind us life always finds a way back to the light.
Summer Holidays
Summer is a time of light, drive, passion, and gratitude. Nature is alive, the sun at its peak, and the air feels full of potential.
Now is a time to tend what has been planted and to give thanks for what is thriving.
