Sabbats in the Southern Hemisphere

Q&A

On several of the witchy Instagram pages I follow they say that Mabon is coming up for the Northern Hemisphere and Ostara for the Southern Hemisphere.

yes they do but i guess i mean for us is spring at it’s finest and also the next upcoming holiday here is Beltane which meets with Halloween and still spring so i guess i can get some nice flowers either fake or even better real every week and when it comes to Beltane i can get some Halloween decorations like pumpkins etc… I was wondering though, is there rituals or anything else involved i should know?

There are rituals on site that will help you out, or you can make up your own. You can find some information and the different Sabbats rituals here.

It’s a bit overwhelming especially when you get bombarded with all information for the Northern Hemisphere but you live in the South. I agree with what Brianna said above.

Here’s a related topic: Celebrating Ostara in the Southern Hemisphere

I lived most of my life in South America and in my experience both ways are valid. Go out in Nature and experience Ostara, the best time of the year is coming! Your rituals will organically match those energies. However you can celebrate Mabon with us, “in spirit”, as if we were all in the same calendar. After all, we are all celebrating independently, together. :sun:

I came across these articles while researching the upcoming Mabon …

This article in the first paragraph states Ostara is in March for southerners
How to Celebrate Mabon: The Autumn Equinox (learnreligions.com)
and
This website is solely dedicated to southern wiccans
Wicca in the Southern Hemisphere - Sacred Space (weebly.com)

In both articles though it’s reallys up to the practitioner as others here have stated.

I agree, it would be nice to have both southern and northern so we don’t divide anyone due to their location :blush: I the mean time my amateur wheel is good enough :blush: :sweat_smile:
