Practices and Observances

As a neo-Pagan Earth religion, Universal Entitism observes the Wheel of the Year.  The Eight High Holy Days are called Sabbats, and the lesser Holy Days are called Esbats.  The Sabbats are: Eostre: Celebrated on the day of the Spring Equinox, this is a festival of rebirth and new beginnings.  It is also called Ostara. Beltane: Celebrated on May Day, this festival celebrates the return of the Sun and the blooming of the Earth.  It is a fertility festival.  Celebrations may begin on May Eve. Summer Solstice: A celebration of magic, a day of rededication, and for divination. Lammas: Celebrated on August 1st, this is the First Festival of Harvest, and a day of purification. Autumn Equinox: The Second Harvest Festival, a day for meditation, and of gratitude. Samhain: The Feast of the Dead.  Celebrated October 31st, this is the holiest day of the year, the night when we celebrate and honour those who have gone before, our family, friends and loved ones who have passed beyond. Yule: Celebrated on the Winter Solstice; may also be the beginning of Yuletide, a 12-day festival starting on the night of the Solstice.  Celebrates the turning point of winter, and the rebirth of the Sun. Imbolc: Celebrated on February 2nd, this is a festival of new beginnings and spiritual growth. Esbats are celebrated every Full Moon and New Moon.
