On the Pagan Wheel of the Year, we have Eight Sabbats (four Lesser Sabbats nd four Greater Sabbats). The Spring and Autumn Equinoxes and the Winter and Summer Solstices are the Lesser Sabbats, while Beltaine, Samhain, Yule and Imbolg are the Greater Sabbats. We also celebrate the 13 full moons of the year at rituals known as esbats (full moon rituals). Some traditions also have small rituals at the New Moon (or Dark Moon).
