Sabbats and Esbats of 1988
|
||
Both Tropical and Traditional Reckoning
|
||
|
||
Here are the important dates for 1988. For the Greater Sabbats we have
|
||
listed both the Traditional calender dates (Imbolc = FEB 1, Beltane - APR 30,
|
||
Lughnasadh = JUL 31, Samhain = OCT 31) AND the more accurate Tropical dates.
|
||
Contrary to popular belief, the dates for the Greater Sabbats are dependent on
|
||
the Lesser Sabbats. While the ancient Celts didn't celebrate the Lesser
|
||
Sabbats, they used them to calculate the dates of the Greater Sabbats. Each
|
||
of the Greater Sabbats is celebrated on the fortieth evening following the DAY
|
||
of the Solstice or Equinox. The Lesser Sabbats (Equinoxes and Solstices) are
|
||
determined by the time that the sun enters the Cardinal Elemental Zodiac Sign:
|
||
if the event occurs during darkness, the Sabbat is celebrated that night; if
|
||
it occurs during daylight, it celebrated the night before. The same rule
|
||
applies to Esbats. By the old reckoning, the day begins at sundown, rather
|
||
than at midnight as we do now. Therefore dual dates (i.e. "4/5") mean that
|
||
the celebration begins the night of the first date, and continues till sundown
|
||
of the second date.
|
||
|
||
1988 Dual dates, "4/5", mean night Pacific Rocky Central Eastern
|
||
of the 4th & day of the 5th Mt
