Tell me what understanding the Sabbats means to you. For me, understanding the Sabbats is very important. Just like it is necessary for a child to learn letters and their sounds before they can read it is just as necessary to learn and understand the Sabbats and what they represent. We all observe the turning of the wheel whether it be through magickal or mundane eyes.

If he is correct, then using communication tools which increase positive interactions in a marriage will increase the chances of a successful marriage. No marriage is perfect, but there seems to be identifying markers that characterize marriages which end in divorce. John Gottman calls these indicators, “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” These four behaviors are criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling.

They may not necessarily connect it beyond sexual fertility to the agriculture fertility it primarily celebrates and encourages. The more educated I am on the term, the more I am able to clear any misconceptions they may have about the practice. Knowing what the rite represents and where it originates is equally meaningful.

Kabbalah is a Hebrew word meaning “receive”. Based on a structure called the Tree of Life, this ancient mystical tradition helps us to comprehend the relationship between God, the Universe and humanity, irrespective of our religion or ethnicity. This is not a religion; it is a tool which will help us in our path of self-realization and spiritual development.
