2013 Sabbats and Esbats

  In my hectic life, I always need some sort of organization. I'm a fan of making my own calendars to put up around the house but I especially needed to add the dates of the Sabbats and Esbats to keep me on track. Here's a list of the 2013 holidays and full moons, as well as a pronunciation guide (and yes, there can be variations on how to pronounce some of these).

One more thing I'd like to mention regarding Sabbats: They're broken down into two categories - Major and Minor. The Major Sabbats are Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnasadh. The Minor Sabbats (the two equinoxes and two solstices of the year) are Yule, Ostara, Litha, and Mabon.
