The sabbats are holidays celebrated throughout the year on solstices, equinoxes, and the midpoints between them. These sabbats form the Wheel of the year.

There is a controversy surrounding the dates of these holidays, as people celebrate them all over the earth, not only in the northen hemisphere but in the southern too. 

One viewpoint is that the Sabbats should be celebrated as they were originally created to be… in other words, Samhain is October 31st, regardless of where you live. In the Southern Hemisphere, even though you are just gearing up to summer on October 31st, this perspective says that you celebrate the cleansing and releasing, the honouring of the dead just as you would if you lived in the Northern Hemisphere. The other viewpoint (the one I personally agree with) is that you should celebrate when you feel like the season corresponds with the holiday, in other words, your craft, your rules. So if you live in the southern hemisphere, you have the choice.

I’ll be writing the dates for each holiday starting with the northen hemisphere and then the dates that many people celebrate them in the southern hemisphere

The Moon Phases

- compiled from my personal Grimoire | last updated: 13.07.18 -

New Moon: It is a time for new beginnings. Cleansing. But it is also a good time for cursing as well as for banishing. Oh, and divination. If you want to do a spell that needs a lot of planning, this is the perfect time for doing so.

Waxing Crescent: The Waxing Crescent is a good time for attraction spells. Attracting friendship, success and luck. It is also a good time for spells regarding growth.

First Quarter: It´s a time of balance. Spells for motivation are perfect in this phase. As well as in the previous phase, it is also a good time for spells that regard growth.

Waxing Gibbous: A good time for health spells and inviting positivity. I like to do cleansing at this point and to perform spells that need some clarity.

Full Moon: At this point the moon is completely illuminated and very powerful. Divination can be done perfectly at this time. Banishing and healing. The Full Moon is the best time to charge things and yourself.

Waning Gibbous: Release and letting go. (un)doing bindings as well as making space for new things. You can organise yourself at this point, divination is a good tool for doing so.

Last Quarter: Banishing. breaking bad habits and doing curses and hexes. It is a good time to perform spells that want to hide something or someone.

Waning Crescent: This is a time for reflection. Good for spells regarding memory and learning, education and career as well as success. Also a good time to research.
