Witch's Wheel of the Year:
Sabbats

Yule
A Celebration of Light
21st June

Yule, the first sabbat of the Witches’ Year, is celebrated on the Winter Solstice, marking the longest night and shortest day—the darkest point in the Wheel. As the sun reaches its lowest ebb and begins to return, Yule becomes a celebration of light, hope and renewal, honouring the rebirth of the Divine Masculine and the Goddess as the Sacred Mother.
It reflects the eternal cycle of life, death and rebirth, reminding us that even in stillness, life stirs beneath the surface.
This sacred time encourages reflection, rest and personal transformation, inviting us to release what no longer serves and cleanse our spaces with ritual—through smoke, sound or intention—making room for new energy.
As a festival of fire and light, Yule is celebrated with candles, solar symbols, bonfires and festive colour, honouring the return of the sun and the promise of spring. It is also the season of the Crone, the wise winter aspect of the Goddess, calling us to embrace stillness, wisdom and inner light as we turn toward a new cycle.

Mabon
A celebration of balance, gratitude and harvest blessings
20th - 24th March 

Mabon, the sacred celebration of the Autumn Equinox, invites us to honour balance, gratitude and the final harvest. As day and night stand in perfect harmony, we pause to reflect on the blessings and lessons of the year.

Mabon marks a time of generous giving and gentle release—gathering the last fruits of summer, sharing our abundance and letting go of what no longer serves us. Aligned with nature’s rhythm, it is a season of transition, when the goddess begins her descent into rest and the Green Man returns to the earth. Through this cycle of life, death and renewal, we are reminded to clear both our homes and spirits, embracing stillness, healing and inner transformation.

Mabon’s energy, deeply intertwined with the myth of Persephone and the Crone aspect of the Goddess, guides us into the darker half of the year with wisdom, grace and the quiet promise of light’s return.

Imbolc
A Celebration of Transition
1st August

Imbolc is the second Sabbat of the year, marking the beginning of spring and celebrated between Yule and Ostara. It is a sacred turning point on the Wheel of the Year—a fire festival honouring light, renewal and the gentle stirring of life within the earth. As days grow longer and winter’s hold begins to ease, the soil warms and the first green shoots emerge, offering a quiet promise of what’s to come.

This is a time of pregnancy and potential, when dreams take root and life prepares to bloom. The Earth is seen as pregnant with the coming season, just as we may hold intentions or creative ideas that are beginning to awaken.

Imbolc is deeply connected to the Divine Feminine, especially the Celtic goddess Brigid, who is honoured in her Maiden form. Goddess of fire, healing, fertility, poetry and the hearth, Brigid carries the “seed of the sun,” representing the fertile spark of inspiration and renewal stirring within the land and within us.

It is also a time of cleansing and purification.

As the Earth renews itself, we are invited to let go of what no longer serves us. This may take the form of physical cleaning, clearing energetic space with herbs or reflective rituals.

Imbolc encourages us to shed winter’s heaviness, reflect on the past season and set clear intentions for growth.

As a festival of light, candles are lit to welcome the sun’s return and to honour Brigid’s sacred flame. Fire symbolizes clarity, healing and transformation. Whether through lighting candles, sitting by the fire or burning intentions, we are invited to ignite our inner spark.

Imbolc honours the space between—between dark and light, winter and spring, dreaming and doing. It calls us back into connection with nature, the Divine Feminine and our own creative potential. A gentle, sacred pause, it reminds us that even in stillness, life is always stirring.

Samhain
The Witches’ New Year and the Eternal Cycle of Life, Death and Rebirth
1st May

Samhain is a sacred turning point on the Wheel of the Year—marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter’s deep stillness. Rooted in the eternal cycle of life, death and rebirth, Samhain invites us to reflect, release and honour the transformations within and around us. It is a time to remember our ancestors, mourn what has passed and acknowledge the symbolic deaths in our own lives—be they relationships, identities or old ways of being. As the veil between worlds thins, spirit communication becomes more potent, offering insight, healing and ancestral guidance. The Triple Goddess enters her Crone phase and the Sun God descends into the underworld, mirroring nature’s descent into darkness and the soul’s call inward. Samhain is also a powerful time for spellwork and cleansing, encouraging us to cast off what no longer serves us and make room for renewal. Though cloaked in shadow, this sabbat is not about fear—it is about reverence, remembrance and transformation. In the quiet of the season, we find clarity and strength, preparing to step into a new cycle with intention and grace.
