Esbats:

What is an Esbat?

Each occurrence of the Full Moon is observed as a celebration called an esbat. The Full Moon for each of the 12 months in a year is known by a specific name, for example ‘Hunter’s Moon’ or ‘Snow Moon.’ These names for each Moon change depending on if you are in the Northern or Southern hemisphere, the same way the Wheel of the Year’s sabbats are opposites depending on which hemisphere you are in (e.g. Southern hemisphere witches celebrate Beltane during their spring, while simultaneously it is winter in the Northern hemisphere and witches there are celebrating Samhain and vice versa).

An esbat is defined as a ritual observance of the night of the Full Moon, with the Moon as the sole focus and dedication. They are typically used as an opportunity for covens to meet, but solitary practitioners can perform their own rituals alone on esbats too. Esbats can also be celebrated on the New Moon instead if the Full Moon is not a convenient time, which is often the case with secret and solitary witches. A practitioner can choose the Full Moon or New Moon interchangeably each month depending on what works best for them at that time.

Esbats are seen as powerful times to perform magick and workings, as opposed to sabbats which tend to be more celebratory. Esbats are a good time for magick of all kinds, especially that involving lunar energy. Feasting and commemorating the Moon’s cycles is also common. It is also a good time to reflect on what has happened in your life since the last esbat. Meditate on what you are thankful for and what you would like to achieve by the next esbat.

There are also traditional altar decorations for esbats, typically corresponding to the Moon. These can include a bowl of water, candles, mirrors, silver decorations and white and clear crystals.

Possible Esbat Activities: (Based on my own personal experiences as a solitary witch).

🌙 Make offerings and pray.

🌙 Renew any spells that need it, such as wards, recharging sigils and charms etc.

🌙 Reflect on yourself, meditate, treat yourself a little for all your hard work throughout the month and reflect on what is yet to come. Set some goals.

🌙 Cleanse and charge yourself and your tools and space.

🌙 Spend time in the moonlight; watch the moon rise.

🌙 Collect natural items that have been charged by moonlight.

🌙 Make moonwater.

🌙 Make a crystal grid charged by moonlight.

🌙 Have a ritual bath.

As a disclaimer, not every witch observes the esbats, and it can be difficult to celebrate every single one. You can celebrate a few when it suits you, or choose not to at all. It’s all up to you!

↳ Abnoba is the Celtic goddess of rivers and forests. Though there is not great amount of documentation on her, it is also thought she is also the goddess of hunt, from inscriptions on roman baths referring to her as Dianae Abnobae.

Real Talk : The Wiccan Rede & Witch Codes

Unpopular Opinion Incoming 

Anytime someone mentions the rede and me following it, I think they’re ignorant as fuck.  Anytime someone brings up the rede and tries to use it as a behavioral code for others, I think they’re beyond ignorant and have touched stupid.  

For this rare occasion, I’m going to say that I’ve been a studying, practicing witch for well over a decade.  There was one time when I followed the rede; when I thought there was no other choice because all the books I was reading said I had to.  But the thing is, I’ve never been Wiccan, always identified as a witch; so actually, I don’t have to do shit, kthnx.  As an abuser survivor, I don’t want to follow a code of ethics that makes it so I cannot fight back.  

When people go around citing Redes, Codes, etc, just stop please..  I am a witchblr, not a wiccanblr.  It allows these redes and codes to be forced on others and that is not what (as far as I believe) witchcraft is about.  For me, witchcraft is about empowering yourself, not making another live by your whims and wills.  

Remember: 

Your Rede, Your Moral Code, it is important, but you get to decide what it is.  You can even write it out for yourself in your BOS, just like I did.  Ethics are a complex issue, it is a case-by-case thing, definitely, and as you encounter things you can add onto your own personal code.  Witchcraft is a personal journey, and even if you already follow a code or the Rede, you can always make it your own by writing down how you prefer to handle certain situations.  NGL- I straight used a slight combination of 10 Commandments + The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth- is that complicated, maybe, but after I had my basic framework of ~10 easy ethical rules to follow it was easy to build onto it.

Tagging this for babywitches so that y’all do not feel like I did, and forced into a code of ethics that you do not fully believe in.
