Due to a lack of time, there is currently not anything available at this time. It is hoped to get both the names / dates, basic meanings, and possibly a sample Ritual at one point here. That is my goal anyways. Please be patient. I will post here as I type and / or write the material.

The Sabbats are very important dates in many different traditions. They represent to followers of the Pagan faiths, different aspects of the year. They are dates chosen because of their particular location during the solar year. The Sabbats are sub divided into two groups. The Major Sabbats and the Minor Sabbats. The distinction between major and minor are not meant to lessen the importance of any others, but to show dates of major changes in the seasons. Depending up on the tradition that you look into, some of the dates are the same, but the general significance is the same. Below are a few of the basic significant symbol and action associations.
