Wiccan Sabbats 女巫的季节——年度之轮

只看楼主收藏回复

Wiccan Sabbats,异教徒的当代庆典节日。20世纪中期,英国异教徒采用了年度之轮的每年八个节日的庆祝仪式,对年度之轮的早起形成了较强影响。到了20世纪50年代后期,Wiccan Bricket Wood coven和吟游诗人、Ovates以及德鲁伊人都采用了这种八个节日的庆典方式。由于wicca早期对现代异教的影响以及盎格鲁 - 撒克逊和凯尔特图案的融合采用,年度之轮最常用的英文名字都来自于凯尔特语和日耳曼语,即使当代的异教庆典仪式并不基于这些文化。
八个庆典节日分别是Midwinter (Yule)【冬至】、Imbolc【圣布里吉德节】、Vernal Equinox (Ostara)【春分】、Beltane【五朔节】、Midsummer (Litha)【夏至】、Lammas/Lughnasadh【收获节】、Autumnal equinox (Mabon)【秋分】、Samhain【萨温节】

    In Wicca and The Craft, there are eight standard holidays recognized during the year. They are as follows:
    Yule: Yuletide, Winter Solstice- This is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. The festival associated with it celebrates the birth of the new solar year. The solstice is linked to the rebirth and renewal of the sun god, the lord. Associated with Yule is holly, pine, evergreen, tree (Christmas tree), the gods Odin and Pan, Cedar, cinnamon, ginger, lemon, orange, sage, rosemary, Gold, green, yellow, white, red. The Yule is also known as Day of Children, Midwinter, Mother’s Night, Saturnalia, and Christmas.
    Candlemas: Imbolic – Around Feb 1 or Feb 2. This is the time to welcome spring and celebrate things that are yet to be born. It is a celebration of fertility and designates the middle of winter. Milk was traditionally poured out upon the ground as a type of offering.
    Ostara: Spring Equinox-Around mid March. The day and night are of equal length. Ostara is another celebration of spring and the festival deals with fertility, mainly of the animal kingdom and plants. it celebrates the dead of winter and the beginning of the cycle of rebirth. During this festival that was customary to exchange colored eggs.
    Beltane: Mayday Around the first of May. It is a celebration of vitality and passion. A time for love, union and the Maypole. This holiday represents the divine union of the Lord and Lady.In the old Celtic times, young people would spend the entire night in the woods “A-Maying,” and then dance around the phallic Maypole the next morning. Older married couples were allowed to remove their wedding rings (and the restrictions they imply) for this one night. May morning is a magickal time for wild water (dew, flowing streams, and springs) which is collected and used to bathe in for beauty, or to drink for health.
    Summer Solstice: Midsummer Night or Eve- Around mid to late June The longest day of the year and designates a festival of thankfulness and success. Celebrates the Sun God in all his glory.Great time to commune with sprites and faeries.
    Lammas: Lughnassadh- Around early August. This festival marks the beginning of the harvest season and the middle of summer. This is a time to prepare for the fall. Great day to harvest herbs for magical use in spells.
    Autumn Equinox: Mabon-Around middle to late September. The day and night are of equal length. It is another harvest festival. This is a festival that designates the beginning of fall. It marks the dissent of the Goddess into the underworld.
    Halloween: Samhain-Around Oct 31.Samhain means “summer’s end” and marks the beginning of winter. For most Wiccans, this is the new year anytime of reflection where the old is let go and the new is anticipated.It is also known as All Hallows Eve, Blood feast, Celtic New Year, Day of the Dead, Last Harvest, and Winters Eve. It is said that on this night the veil between the worlds is weakest. Divination can be heightened on this night as well. A great time to celebrate the dead and deceased loved ones.

      圣布里吉德节是一个凯尔特节日,以庆祝春天的到来。北半球的圣布里吉德节通常在2月1日或2日(旧历为2月12日),南半球则在8月1日。这一天大致在冬至与春分的中间。

        圣布里吉德节(英语:St Brigid's Day,苏格兰盖尔语:Là Fhèill Brìghde,爱尔兰语:Lá Fhéile Bríde),又称为Imbolc、圣烛节(Candlemas)。中世纪时盖尔族爱尔兰就已在庆祝这一节日。Imbolc这一名称来称于爱尔兰神话阿尔斯特故事(Ulster Cycle)的一则故事Tochmarc Emire之中,Imbolc与Beltane、Lughnasadh、Samhain同为四个跨季节日(cross-quarter day)之一。该节日被认为可能是一个与女神布里吉德(Brigid,非圣布里吉德)有关的异教节日。20世纪,威卡教、新德鲁伊教、凯尔特重建主义(Celtic reconstructionism)等新异教主义都重新将Imbolc日作为宗教节日。
