Sabbat of the Witch
The Sabbat of the Witch—also known as the Witch’s Sabbath, Sabbat, Sun Festival, Fire Festival, Equinox, or Solstice—is a celebration of the turning wheel of the year. It’s how we witches honor the dance of the sun and moon, the cycles that shape our Earth, our energy, and our very bones.
To follow the sun is to follow life itself. By attuning to its rhythm, witches can predict weather patterns, grow lush gardens, honor life and death, and reconnect with our sacred source of light and warmth. This isn't new—this is ancient magic.
