The Origins and History of the Pafan Sabbat Wheel 2023

By admin

PAFAN Sabbat Wheel 2023 The PAFAN Sabbat Wheel, also known as the Pagan Wheel of the Year, is a calendar system used by many pagan and Wiccan practitioners to mark the eight seasonal festivals throughout the year. These festivals, also known as Sabbats, celebrate the changing of the seasons and the cycles of nature. In 2023, the PAFAN Sabbat Wheel will follow the same pattern as previous years. The year will begin with Imbolc on February 2nd, which marks the beginning of spring and the return of longer daylight hours. Imbolc is a time for purification, new beginnings, and honoring the Celtic goddess Brigid. The next Sabbat on the wheel is Ostara, which is celebrated around the spring equinox on March 20th.


The Sabbats are divided into two groups. The Greater Sabbats; Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane and Lammas, fall on dates that represent high energy in the season. The Lesser Sabbats; Yule, Ostara, Litha and Mabon, fall on the equinoxes and solstices, the dates of which vary slightly from year to year, and they mark the changes of the four seasons. The Greater Sabbats are also known as the “cross-quarter” days as they mark the point between the solstice and the equinox.

The Lesser Sabbats; Yule, Ostara, Litha and Mabon, fall on the equinoxes and solstices, the dates of which vary slightly from year to year, and they mark the changes of the four seasons.

Following Ostara is Beltane, celebrated on May 1st. Beltane is a fire festival that celebrates the peak of spring and the beginning of summer. It is a time for fertility rituals, dancing around the Maypole, and celebrating the union of the God and Goddess. Litha, also known as Midsummer or the summer solstice, falls on June 21st. It is the longest day of the year and marks the height of summer. Litha is a time for bonfires, outdoor celebrations, and honoring the power of the sun. The next Sabbat on the wheel is Lammas, celebrated on August 1st. Lammas marks the beginning of the harvest season and the first fruits of the Earth. It is a time for gratitude, abundance, and sharing the bounty of the land. Mabon, also known as the autumn equinox, falls on September 22nd. It is a time of balance between light and dark, and it marks the beginning of the fall season. Mabon is a time for giving thanks, reflective introspection, and preparing for the darker half of the year. Samhain, celebrated on October 31st, is the most widely known of the Sabbats. It is a time when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest, and it is a time for honoring ancestors, divination, and letting go of what no longer serves us. The final Sabbat on the PAFAN Sabbat Wheel is Yule, celebrated on December 21st. Yule marks the winter solstice and the longest night of the year. It is a time for introspection, rest, and celebrating the return of the light. Throughout the year, the PAFAN Sabbat Wheel provides a framework for pagan and Wiccan practitioners to connect with the cycles of nature, honor the changing seasons, and celebrate the divine in all things. The Sabbats are a time for ritual, community, and personal growth, and they serve as reminders of our connection to the natural world and the cycles of life..
