Wicca is a nature and magic based religion that is taken from the Pagan practices of ancient times . Wicca copies other society beliefs with its own customs, seasonal "holidays" as well as belief system. In Pagans and Wicca, there are several days observed as "holidays" or seasonal rites. Full moons (as well as sometimes new moons) result in the ritual Esbat. There are as well 8 Sabbats- 4 of which, the cross-quarter days, are larger than the others as well as relate back to historic fire festivals. Samhain, Beltane, Lammas and Imbolc are the names of these days. Other, less celebrated fests are the summer as well as winter solstices as well as springtime and autumn equinoxes. Pagans perform "rituals" at important sabbats, esbats, or sometimes for some other reasons such as handfastings (pagan weddings), wiccanings (pagan baptising! ),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or other exclusive occasions. Ritual mostly simply consists of casting a group, calling upon the deity, calling upon the Four components, and performing the ritual itself (such as thanking the diety for the harvest, etc). Now, mind you, rituals and ways of doing ritual vary greatly between denominations and individual pagans. Beltane, which is a popular Pagan holiday, is celebrated widely in the month of May. Beltane is the Pagan festival that officially makes the beginning of the warmer months. In some mythology, this is the time that the Wiccan Goddess and God first wed or conceive a child. The celebrations which happen are called the Beltane Fire Festival, and this occurs annually on April thirty. Everyone can celebrate Beltane, and one who has long since lost its religious connotations for many people Later in the year, the celebration of Hallowe'en - Samhain - takes place. Halloween is an annual holiday observed on October 31. Its origins is said to be at Samhain and the All Saint's Day being celebrated by Christian believers. Popular activities that people do during the event include costume parties, carving scary lanterns, watching horror flicks or telling scary stories,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], visiting haunted attractions, ghost tours and trick or treating. The Samhain festival is a celebration being carried out by the end of harvest season in the Gaelic culture. This was also referred to as the Celtic New Year. The historic Celtic pagans used such time to slaughter livestock as well as get stock of supplies to be allotted for winter stores.At the time they believed that during the last day of October the dead was able to present increased danger to the living as they could cause sickness and damage on crops . The festival parties entail a contemporary retelling of the traditional light against dark tale, this time relating to summer season battling it out with winter season. Thousands of people enjoy celebrating Halloween as it is unusual way to enjoy and make happiness, it is especially for people who don't like private parties or don't want to dress up for parties . The spring time is a time for new beginning and growth. And so, probably the most useful Love Spells cast are those that give importance to sowing a seedling which will grow,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], instead of reigniting a love or wanting to firm up a mature love that previously prevails.The festival is celebrated by throwing bones of slaughtered animals in the bonfires lit up everywhere. While doing this, the people involved wore masks and costumes, as they imitated the evil spirits to appease them.
