Eight Sabbats For Witches
Occult Witchcraft Spirituality Wicca Paganism Ritual & Ceremony Seasonal Celebrations
Eight Sabbats For Witches is the sought-after 1992 paperback that covens and solitary practitioners reach for when they want the real, old-school Wheel of the Year. Janet and Stewart Farrar distill generations of British witch-lore into 192 crisp pages, giving you the exact rituals, seasonal myths, and harvest customs that modern Wicca was built on. Because this vintage edition predates today’s mass-market reprints, it still carries the original line-drawings, altar diagrams, and phrasing that many later versions quietly edited out—making it the copy purists prize for authenticity.
Inside you’ll find a full ritual script for each sabbat—Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, Mabon, Samhain and Yule—plus the history, folk customs, and symbolic foods that go with them. The Farrars walk you through casting the circle, invoking the quarters, and the symbolic Great Rite, so you can step straight into celebration without hunting through multiple sources. Detailed illustrations show traditional altar layouts, seasonal decorations, and even the choreography for the circle dance, giving beginners confidence and giving experienced witches a ready-made template they can adapt.
Collectors love this clean, tightly-bound 1992 printing because it is the last edition the Farrars personally oversaw before publishers began modernizing text and artwork. With its unmarked pages and sturdy spine, this copy is ideal for highlighting, note-taking, or passing around the coven, yet still shelf-ready for display. Whether you want to revive the classic sabbat rituals or simply own the version that started the modern festival revival, Eight Sabbats For Witches remains the gold-standard guide that every witchcraft library needs.
