THE WITCH’S YEAR – A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SEASONS

Join The Goddess Haven for a series of eight deeply held evening gatherings that follow the turning of the Wheel of the Year. Each session offers a peaceful space to reconnect with nature’s rhythm, honour the shifting seasons, and deepen your personal or spiritual practice through ritual, creativity, sound healing, and reflection.

Every gathering runs from 7:30 – 9:00pm at Willsbridge Mill, BS30 6EX, and includes a seasonal craft, a guided ritual, journaling, tarot or oracle card guidance, a themed sound meditation, and time for gentle shared discussion.

These sessions are welcoming, accessible, and suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Choose individual Sabbats or journey through the full Witch’s Year, included with The Witches Path Membership.

OSTARA – Sunday 22nd March

Balance, renewal, early growth

Ostara marks the Spring Equinox, a moment of harmony and new life.

We plant symbolic spring seeds and braid a spell cord to tie around the pot, blending craft and ritual into one.

The ritual restores inner balance and welcomes fresh beginnings, followed by a heart-opening sound meditation.

BELTANE – Sunday 3rd May

Fire, passion, creativity

Beltane celebrates rising energy, passion, and the vibrant life of early summer.

Participants craft a mini maypole using natural materials and colourful ribbons as a symbol of joy and creativity.

The ritual includes a Beltane knot spell to weave personal intention into the season, accompanied by a warm, energising sound journey.

LITHA – Sunday 21st June

Sun at its height, abundance, personal power

Litha honours the peak of the sun and the fullness of summer.

We create sun talismans representing empowerment, confidence, and clarity.

The ritual honours personal strength and expansion, followed by a bright, uplifting sound meditation aligned with solar energy.

LUGHNASADH – Sunday 2nd August

First harvest, gratitude, nourishment

Lughnasadh marks the first harvest and the beginning of reaping what we have cultivated.

Participants craft a charm bag filled with herbs, grains, and seasonal elements representing abundance and gratitude.

The ritual centres on thanksgiving and honouring the fruits of personal work, supported by a grounding sound meditation.

MABON – Sunday 20th September

Equinox balance, reflection, preparation for the darker months

Mabon is the second harvest and a moment of perfect balance between light and dark.

Together we create traditional corn dolls as symbols of harvest spirit, protection, and the wisdom carried forward into autumn.

The ritual blends gratitude with inner balance, followed by a reflective and grounding sound meditation.

SAMHAIN – Sunday 1st November

Ancestors, intuition, the thinning veil

Samhain invites us into deep stillness, intuition, and ancestral connection.

Participants create an ancestral anointing oil using botanicals associated with remembrance and protection.

The ritual offers a gentle guided honouring of ancestral presence, accompanied by an immersive sound journey for inner guidance.

YULE – Sunday 20th December

Midwinter stillness, rebirth, the return of the light

Yule marks the longest night and the quiet turning back toward the sun.

We craft winter blessing ornaments using seasonal herbs and natural elements to honour midwinter’s symbolism.
