Just so you know, not all witches celebrate these. It all depends on what you believe in. All of these are either celebrated the day of or the night before.

----------------------------------------
Samhain - Oct. 31
(Sow-en)
This is the cycle of death and rebirth.
Usually Samhain is a time to reconnect with our ancestors, and honor those who died. This is a time when the veil between our world and the spirit world is thin, so it's perfect for making contact with the dead.
----------------------------------------
Yule - Winter Solstice
(You'll)
Yule is a time of new beginnings and focused on rebirth and renewal as the sun makes its way back to the Earth.
----------------------------------------
Imbolc - Feb. 1-2
(eem-melc)
This is a Wiccan Festival of Lights and the beginning of spring, even though spring is actually a couple months away.
During celebration, some focus on the Celtic goddess, Brighid (goddess of fire and fertility), while others aim their rituals to the cycle of the seasons.
----------------------------------------
Ostara - Spring Equinox
(Oss- tare- a)
The first official day of Spring on the Pagan Wheel of the Year. The Anglo goddess, Eostre (goddess of dawn, rebirth, fertility, and new beginnings.)
is worshipped around this time.
----------------------------------------
Beltane - Last night of April into May 1
(Bell- taine)
A time to welcome the abundance of the fertile Earth. Beltane is a time of fertility and fire.

Litha - Summer Solstice
(Lee-tha)
A celebration of the sun and the peak of fertility.

Lammas - Aug. 1
(Llamas) (lol😂)
The beginning of the end of summer. This is a celebration of the first harvest. Bread baking is a traditional pagan way of celebrating this Sabbat.

Mabon - Autumn Equinox
(May-Ben) (May-Bon)
The second fall harvest, a pagan Thanksgiving. The days are balanced, but darkness will reign. This is a good time to harvest herbs to dry and use later.
