What is Sabbats: A Witch's Approach to Living the Old Ways (Llewellyn's World Religion and Magick) about?

<p>First and foremost, Witchcraft or Wicca is a religion. In <i>The Sabbats,</i> Edain McCoy reveals the eight major holidays of this faith and the many ways in which they are celebrated.</p> <p>There are two basic types of holidays. The first come at the Solstices and Equinoxes. The others divide the time between those dates in two, resulting in eight major holidays or Sabbats with approximately the same amount of days between them. The balance, here, gives the appearance of spokes in a wheel, so this cycle is commonly called the Wheel of the Year.</p> <p>The holidays represent two things. First, the harvest cycle. Each holiday represents a time in the growth of crops. From planting to growth, from harvesting to letting the lands lie fallow in the cold winter, the festivals follow the agricultural cycles of ancient times. However, they also represent the eternal love of the God and Goddess, following the God's birth from the Goddess and his death before she gives birth to him again. This also follows the pattern of the Sun which moves from warm and high in the sky to cold and low in the sky.</p> <p>The book is filled with ways you can follow the Wheel of the Year, whether you work
