Festivals, Events, and Sabbats
The Wheel of the Year turns, and with it, the rhythm of celebration, magic, and connection. From the fires of Beltane to the harvest feasts of Samhain, these sacred festivals invite us to honor nature, the gods, and the cycles that shape our lives. Below you’ll find a quick guide to each High Day, plus a list of upcoming events to keep your calendar enchanted. If you know of a gathering that isn’t listed, whisper it my way on Instagram—bonus points if you bring a link to the details!
The High Days

The first whispers of spring! Imbolc honors Brigid, goddess of hearth and inspiration. A time for purification, candlelight, and setting intentions for growth.

Day and night dance as equals. Celebrate balance, fertility, and the renewal of life. Think flowers, eggs, and a fresh start for your magical practice.
🔥 Beltane (April 30–May 1)
Passion ignites! Beltane is all about fire, fertility, and joy. Bonfires, maypoles, and love spells take center stage in this sensual sabbat.
☀️ Litha (Summer Solstice, around June 21)
The sun reigns supreme! Litha celebrates abundance, growth, and the peak of power. Gather herbs, light fires, and soak in the magic of the longest day.

Balance returns once more as we tip into the dark half of the year. Celebrate the second harvest with gratitude, introspection, and cozy feasts.

Elements of Witchcraft 2024 Class #8: “Magickal Ethics”
Tickets: $25
Have you ever stopped for a moment before lighting that candle or saying that prayer to ask yourself, “is this in my best interest?” Or while gathering ingredients for incense, or pulling tarot cards for guidance, have you asked, “what is the best result for my Highest Self? Or for the others involved?” How about scanning online articles or books and stopping to ask yourself, “what’s all this talk of baneful magick about?” Ever wondered what they mean when they say “An it harm none, do what you Will?”
Congratulations! Like many of us on the path, you’ve dipped your toe into the pool of Wiccan ethics!
In this class we’ll wade in a little deeper together, discuss some of the key principles of ethics as they apply to Wiccan beliefs, and apply them to some everyday scenarios that you may encounter in your practices.
Bring:
Please bring a journal, pen, something to stay hydrated with, and an open mind.
We provide light snacks to share. You are also welcome to bring something to share if you’d like. We also frequently bring our traveling shop of new and gently used items. Cash and PayPal are accepted.
Parking is available in the top and bottom lots next to the building, on a first come, first served basis.
We are sharing the space with other groups this year, and do not want to disturb their classes and events by entering on the left and walking through the big room to our location. Please enter the building on the far-right side, using the walking path around the front of the building, to avoid disturbing our neighbors.
