Sabbat: Yule (December 20 & 21)
Yule is a Midwinter Festival. It takes place at Winter Solstice when the sun enters Capricorn. The generally accepted date is December 21 but purists may adjust the day according to the sun's postion. The feast is basically in celebration of the rebirth of the sun, the day when the sun, at it's weakest, begins again to strengthen. Tradtional midwinter observences include lighting fires both inside & outside houses and decorating houses with holly, ivy, mistletoe, bay, rosemary and branches of box trees.
Sabbat: Brigid's Day (February 1 & 2)
The calander gives February 1 as the Feast of St. Brigid the great Celtic Mother Goddess. It is also call Candlemas because alter candles are blessed on that day.
