Celebrating Sabbats

 
 
Join us in the celebration of the eight Sabbats. Because Sabbats are held at private residences, admittance to attend requires prior participation with the group (Please see our Meet and Greet schedule).
 
We are a family friendly group. Children are permitted to attend and participate. You may bring ceremonial robes to wear, but please do not change in them until you are in the host's home. Skyclad is not permitted.
 
Sabbats are not always conducted on the Sabbat day. Due to necessity and convenience, Sabbats that fall on a weekday are usually celebrated either on the weekend prior or the weekend after.
 
Please bring a food item. Rituals are followed by potluck dinners.
 
Also, it is important to remember that Sabbats are not always performed the same way. If the host/hostess presents a ritual in a way that is unlike your own, please be respectful of their ways and enjoy the camaraderie and the diversity of the experience.
 
 
Schedule of Upcoming Sabbats:
 
Litha - June 21st
Lughnasadh - August 1st
Mabon - September 22nd
Samhain - October 31st
Yule - December 21st
