"The Sabbats are the eight points at which we connect the inner and the outer
cycles: the interstices where the seasonal, the celestial, the communal, the
creative, and the personal all meet. As we enact each drama in its time, we
transform ourselves. We are renewed; we are reborn even as we decay and die.
We are not separate from each other, from the boarder world around us; we are
one with the Goddess, with the God. As the Cone of Power rises, as the season
changes, we arouse the power from within, the power to heal, the power to
change our society, the power to renew the earth."
- Starhawk, the Spiral Dance
The Sabbats are eight days each year that correspond to a different stage in the renewing and ever lasting life and relationship of the God and Goddess. Sabbats are also refered to as Solar Festivals because of their association to different phases of the Sun. All articles written by Karen Charboneau-Harrison unless otherwise noted.
