The Sabbat Rituals
for the Southern Hemisphere

There are eight Witches Sabbats, held roughly six weeks apart. It's important to remember that the Sabbats follow the seasons rather than a date, and so, in the Southern Hemisphere they are opposite to the Northern Hemisphere. Wicca and other Pagan religions are earth-based, nature religions, and so it would be bizarre for a person in Australia to celebrate Yule at the height of summer, in December. Here are the dates for the eight Sabbats in the Southern Hemisphere. Click on them, to go to my ritual for the Sabbat. A new ritual will appear after each Sabbat.
