Vialet B RayneImbolc is the first spark of light returning to the world, a sacred moment when winter begins to soften and the earliest signs of spring stir beneath the surface. It is a celebration of purification, hope, renewal, and the quiet magic of beginnings.
Vialet B RayneYule, the Pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice, marks the longest night of the year and the return of the sun. Traditionally celebrated between December 20th and 23rd, Yule symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and the cyclical nature of life. At the Sacred Temple Mystery School, we honor Yule as a sacred time to connect with the earth, the cosmos, and the divine within ourselves.
Vialet B RayneAs the Wheel of the Year turns again, we enter the powerful gateway of Samhain (pronounced sow-en), one of the most sacred Sabbats of the year.

Vialet B RayneAs the Wheel of the Year turns, we arrive at Mabon, the Autumn Equinox—a sacred time of perfect balance when day and night are equal. This is the second harvest in the cycle, where we pause to gather the fruits of our labor and give thanks before the darkness begins to grow. Mabon invites us to honor both the light and the shadow, to reflect on what we have harvested—both physically and spiritually—and to prepare for the inward journey of the colder months.
