Just last week we went over the history of witchcraft! This week we will be reviewing the 8 Sabbats! Better known as the Wheel of the year. • The wheel of the year is a representation of the 8 pagan holidays or wiccan sabbats. It is recognized by many pagans and wiccans. • These celebrations represent the masculine energies and correspond with the earth's position relative to the sun. They represent the continuing birth, death, and rebirth of nature. These include the solstices, the equinoxes and the four cross quarter holidays that fall in between.
