Wiccan Calendar
The Pagan (Wiccan and celtic) calendar acknowledges Eight Sabbats or Holy Days of Worship. The Druids referred to this yearly cycle as the "Wheel of the Seasons". During this time, we undergo 13 Full Moon phases, one every 28 1/4 days. Each Full Moon has a traditional title and eight moons may accompany a Sabbat.
