Between the Worlds: The Sabbats
"Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn - birth, growth, fading, death - the Wheel turns, on and on. Ideas are born, projects are consumated, plans prove impractical and die. We fall in love; we suffer loss; we consumate relationships; we give birth; we grow old; we decay. "
"The Sabbats are the eight points at which we connect the inner and the outer cycles: the interstices where the seasonal, the celestial, the communal, the creative, and the personal all meet. As we enact each drama in its time, we transform ourselves. We are renewed, we are reborn even as we decay and die. We are not separate from each other, from the broader world around us; we are one with the Goddess, with the God. As the Cone of Power rises as the season changes, we arouse the power from within, the power to heal, the power to change society, the power to renew the Earth. "

Sabbat Recipes from Elenya's Kitchen
To me, the kitchen has always been a place where family and friends gather together in fellowship, as well as the place where we prepared our meals. My fondest memories are of times spent with loved ones in the ritual of preparing and eating these meals. In today's society, much of this preparation is taken for granted in the "instant" and "microwave" world where we now live. There are recipes that were passed down for generations in both of our families, and along with the recipes, were the stories and the history behind them... We hope that by sharing the following, we can give you some ideas for your own family celebrations. May you spin your own web of memories for the next generation to carry into the future...
