The Wheel of the Year

Discover the history of the Wheel of the Year and how it formed the ancient Celtic calendar. Learn the dates of the Sabbats for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and examine the Witch Hunter's demonisation of these celebrations.

Each of the eight Sabbats of the Wheel of the Year will be discussed in turn. We’ll start with the festivals of Imbolc and Ostara. You will learn fire scrying, how to cleanse your witchcraft tools and how to perform an inner child ritual.

Next in the Wheel of the Year course is Beltane and Litha. For Beltane, you will discover the legend around the Green Man and make a May Queen head garland. As Litha is the summer solstice, you'll learn to welcome the morning sun and create a psychic dream pouch.

You'll explore the festivals of Lughnasadh and Mabon. The course guides you in baking Lughnasadh bread, holding a witch's thanksgiving, discovering high places and blending incense.
