Why don’t you perform ritual on the date of the actual Sabbat?
• For those of you who aren’t familiar with pagan traditions, the Sabbats are our eight holy days designated by the Sun and Moon as they journey though their individual cycles. These “Eight Great Days” are somewhat “fixed” in the calendar year in that they are astronomical events and deemed as auspicious for working rituals and linking personal energies to the Land, to each other and to the Gods and spirits. One of the reasons the Brotherhood holds our rituals after the Sabbats (during what we call the Sabbat season) is to give men who circle with other covens, groves, and orders the opportunity to be present within both organizations. The one exception to this rule is the Sabbat of Ostara (or Spring equinox) which we call Quintescence. This is time of year when the Council of Guardians (Board of Directors) is ritually installed and prepared to take their offices for the term of one year before the Sabbat rite begins.
