First and foremost, Witchcraft or Wicca is a religion. In "The
Sabbats, "Edain McCoy reveals the eight major holidays of this
faith and the many ways in which they are celebrated.
There are two basic types of holidays. The first come at the
Solstices and Equinoxes. The others divide the time between those
dates in two, resulting in eight major holidays or Sabbats with
approximately the same amount of days between them. The balance,
here, gives the appearance of spokes in a wheel, so this cycle is
commonly called the Wheel of the Year.
The holidays represent two things. First, the harvest cycle. Each
holiday represents a time in the growth of crops. From planting to
growth, from harvesting to letting the lands lie fallow in the cold
winter, the festivals follow the agricultural cycles of ancient
times. However, they also represent the eternal love of the God and
Goddess, following the God's birth from the Goddess and his death
before she gives birth to him again. This also follows the pattern
of the Sun which moves from warm and high in the sky to cold and
low in the sky.
The book is filled with ways you can follow the Wheel of the Year,
whether you work with a coven, with your family, or by yourself.
You will learn the secrets of ritual construction and handicrafts
appropriate to each of the festivals. You will also learn recipes
for traditional foods for each holiday and even songs appropriate
to the Sabbats.
This is a wonderful, joyous book filled with color, information,
and wisdom. If you are involved with Paganism in any way, this book
is a must for your studies and practices. This book functions as
both a resource and as a practical manual for the celebration of
the holidays. Get your copy today.
