What Understanding The Sabbats Means To You

It is important to know what happens in the past and to celebrate what we have, and to acknowledge it. If we make the same mistakes again and again, people would be battling for everything. Almost no one would treat each other nicely. The traditions we do show us to remember what was important to others before us. Traditions let us know what was good to do in the past.

Today, there remains a relic of the European witch-hunts predominant at this time of year. Halloween decorations are flooded with depictions of tall thin hats, and haggard old women flying on broomsticks. For a time period of approximately the middle fifteenth century to sometime into the eighteenth century witches were thought to be a

This follows with a lot of the other things we learned, because up until this point almost everybody had to follow rules no matter what, the people did not get to say if they wanted to do something or not. And as we learn about different societies, we also learn about the different religions that they had. Each society is different; the Indus Valley was the only place that had Buddhism.

Wiccans meet outdoors when possible. They gather in groups and create circles about nine feet in diameter. Candles and altars are set up during these times of meeting.

In my project, I have many of my other symbols using the menorah for support. I set it up that way because I see my religion as the backbone for who I am.

It makes me work harder to try to discover a way understand them and fit into with my peers. The menorah symbolizes my Judaism shaping me and making me find new ways to mesh
