The Major Sabbats in Seax-Wica to Self-Dedicates in their solitary practice —Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnasadh—are pivotal celebrations that mark significant seasonal changes.

Beltane celebrates fertility and the union of the God and Goddess, and Lughnasadh gives thanks for the first harvest and nature’s abundance. These Sabbats help practitioners align with the cycles of life and the divine energies of Woden and Frig.

The Seax-Wica Calendar adapts this system for modern practice, celebrating lunar phases and Sabbats, while maintaining a focus on harmony with natural cycles, following the principles of the Saxon tradition.
