Jenny C. Bell shares her personal journey and evolution of celebrating the Witch's Wheel of the Year, offering fresh perspectives on how to make these eight annual Sabbats more meaningful and connected to your actual lived experience.
• The Witch's Wheel comprises eight Sabbats: two equinoxes, two solstices, and four cross-quarter days
• History behind these celebrations is often murky and controversial within the witchcraft community
• Celebrating one-day rituals or focusing too much on historical accuracy can create disconnection
• Pay attention to the actual seasons where you live rather than following generic celebrations
• View each Sabbat as a "slice of the year" rather than a single day celebration
• Cross-quarter days serve as transition periods between major seasonal energies
• Gardening and herbalism offer practical ways to connect with seasonal changes
• Each season carries unique energy: Imbolc (spark), Spring (renewal), Beltane (beauty), Summer (joy), Lammas (harvest), Autumn (release), Samhain (honoring death), Winter (rest)
• Modern witches should evolve rather than just romanticize the past
