The sabbats dates vary each year, but usually take place within the three days that I describe below. There are also variations in the names of the Sabbats. Below are the most common:
Samhain, October 31st
Samhain marks the end of the year wicca and the birth of a new one. It is the occasion to commemorate the ancestors, at the same time, the veil between the two worlds is milder.
Imbolic, 2 February
Imbolic is the end of the (Northern Hemisphere) spring. Imbolic, the goddess is the Virgin Bride returning to Earth. Imbolic literally means "in the womb" in Gaelic, and represents the awakening of life.
Beltane, may 1
Beltane is by far the holiday with more magic of the wheel of the year. It is the Sabbat calls to celebrate the magic, joy and fertility, and by the blessing of unions.
Lughnasadh, 1 August
Its name comes from the Warrior son of the Sun, Lugo, is a festival that is usually close deals, conclude what started, play and celebrate.
These are the main festivals of the wicca religion. I hope you make it guide all those who are thinking of starting to walk the Wiccan path, a noble religion that every day is more and more followers.
As a final comment, I tell them that many years ago, he visited me at my office a lady, who had studied many years the wicca religion and had toured England, Scotland and Ireland in search of the remains of this religion. I remember that she sat opposite me, with peace and serenity which tend to radiate the Warlocks wicca. I asked him what it felt to visit old dolmens Celts, the homeland of Mother goddess. He just smiled and said "all the Earth is the homeland of the goddess, every living being is of the goddess".
I always remember these words. Only two times I went back to see this woman. He spoke little and nothing, but when he did, everyone did suddenly silence and listened to her because her words were left floating in the air, full of wisdom.
