Witches' Sabbats & Esbats
In Witches’ Sabbats & Esbats, Sandra Kynes presents a comprehensive seasonal guide for both the solitary witch as well as the established coven. Themes and ritual outlines for each of the witch's eight sabbats, as well as each of the full moons, are presented in an easy-to-follow format with rituals that can be worked with good results as written, or used as inspiration for the witch or coven who seeks to create their own workings. Working through this book will encourage the Witch to develop a stronger, more rewarding connection with both the seasonal and lunar tides of power that influence us all so greatly.
