The term "Esbat" refers to the gatherings of witches that take place outside of the traditional eight sabbats, usually coinciding with the moon's cycle. These meetings are commonly held during the full moon and can encompass a variety of activities such as moon rituals, magickal and psychic training, and healing work. Solo practitioners also acknowledge these potent lunar periods, infusing their moon magick or rituals with the energy of the Esbat. The Esbat offers a special time to connect deeper with the ebb and flow of the universe and strengthen one's witchcraft.
