THE WITCH’S YEAR: Witchcraft Course
Learn how to work with the energies of the seasons, understand the sabbats deeply, and build a practice you can actually use in your daily life.
The energies of each sabbat are guided by the Sun and the seasonal shifts it sets in motion.
In magick and astrology, the Sun is connected to your vitality, identity, purpose, and success. This makes the sabbats powerful times for manifestation, release, healing, and personal renewal.
As you honor these solar turning points, you can work with their energy through magick, seasonal activities, and meaningful celebration, whether alone or with others.
Create a Sabbat Practice That Is Personal, Powerful, and Truly Your Own
In THE WITCH’S YEAR, you will:

• Understand the traditions, meanings, and energies of each sabbat and integrate them into your practice
• Work with spells and rituals that harness each sabbat’s distinct power, even as a beginner

Choose from two learning options:
Independent Study or 1:1 Coaching Support
THE WITCH’S YEAR is suitable for new and intermediate witches in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. No prior experience with sabbats is required, only a desire to live in rhythm with the cycles of Nature while learning and deepening your practice.
In THE WITCH’S YEAR, you may continue working with your deities, spirit guides, ancestors, or simply with energy. Your beliefs and the way you practice your Craft remain entirely your own.
Create a sabbat year that is personal, meaningful, and aligned with your path.
This academically structured, energy-based course teaches you how to work with the Wheel of the Year in a way that is both practical and powerful.

"As a storyteller myself, I loved the way "THE WITCH'S YEAR: Sabbats—Days Of Celebration, Power & Magick For The Eclectic Witch" tells the story of each celebration. In my practice I think it's really important to understand and learn the roots of all my rituals and this course gave me a very clear and detailed picture of the traditions and significance behind the Witch's Sabbat year. I'm also someone who likes to create my own practices and these lessons gave me the space and the tools to create and be imaginative within the Sabbats. After taking the course, I feel organized and ready to embrace each upcoming celebration. And on top of the great materials, Fiona's guidance and support helped me feel confident to embrace my intuition and imagination as a witch."

"I am relatively new to witchcraft, although I've read a of books, dabbled with various practices, and even participated a several public Wiccan sabbats. While I was always interested in the sabbats, I really hadn't been able to figure out a way to do them on my own, and in a way that wasn't totally about the Wiccan Wheel of the Year. I like some parts of Wiccan sabbat practices, but not all. I was thrilled when I found THE WITCH'S YEAR so I enrolled in it immediately. Through it I finally understood what the sabbats actually are, and was able to design a sabbat practice that reflected my interests and my way of doing things. Plus, I totally align with and love its Nature and energy-centric focus. I kept some of the Wiccan aspects of the Wheel of the Year that I do like, but have learned SO much more beyond that framework. I now regularly practice 5 sabbats, not all 8 (who knew you could pick and choose your sabbats!), in a way that deeply enriches my life and witchcraft practice, and that are so fun and enjoyable. I really look forward to these magickal days I've created!" ~ Sarah F. The Witch's Year graduate
"This was such a wonderful experience in my life journey! Thank you for this knowledge. I have been working on my spells and witchcraft practice, and The Witch’s Year course has helped me tremendously. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! " ~Blessed Be, Jason J., The Witch's Year graduate

“Fiona is amazing! I am incredibly introverted and appreciated the option of independent study. The Witch’s Year course gave me so much more confidence in my practice. I finished up right before Samhain and I was able to create the most amazing altar I’ve ever created! I also began some new rituals I haven’t done before! I cannot recommend this course enough. If you are someone who has fallen off their broomstick so to speak, this course really helps to give you a direction and a solid foundation to continue to build on. I am already planning on taking more courses!” ~ Kristen T. The Witch's Year graduate
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
The sabbats are resurrected and reconstructed seasonal festivals rooted in ancient Celtic, Nordic, and Anglo-Saxon cultures. Later introduced to the modern world as the Wheel of the Year through Gerald Gardner and the birth of Wicca in the 1950s, they have since evolved into the diverse sabbat practices many witches honor today, whether Wiccan or not.
At their heart, the sabbats celebrate the cycles of Nature, seasonal change, and the Sun’s relationship with Earth. They invite us to mark time with intention, honor the rhythms of life, death, rest, renewal, and growth, and work with each turning point as a source of magickal power.
As modern witches, magicians, and pagans, we can honor the wisdom of the ancients while practicing in a way that reflects our own beliefs. Whether you view the sabbats through deity, science, energy, astrology, or personal meaning, they offer powerful moments for manifestation, releasing, healing, celebration, and spiritual alignment.
In THE WITCH’S YEAR, you will create a bespoke Wheel of the Year sabbat practice that feels personal, meaningful, and fully aligned with the way you practice your Craft. Even if you are a brand new witch, this course will assist you in beginning your practice with confidence.
Rather than simply copying traditions or following a sabbat calendar that may not resonate with you, this course teaches you how to understand the sabbats from the inside out. You will explore their ancient roots, seasonal energies, magickal correspondences, traditional practices, and modern witchcraft applications.
From there, you will learn how to make the sabbats your own. By the end of the course, you will have crafted your own Witch’s Sabbat Year, built around the sabbats that truly speak to you. Whether you choose to honor all eight, only three, or anything in between, your practice will be intentional, enjoyable, and created by you, for you.

What is The Witch’s Year, exactly?
FAQ
Still have questions? Here are answers to the most common ones before you begin your Witch’s Year.
The Witch’s Year is a structured witchcraft course that teaches you how to create your own personalized sabbat practice. Rather than following rigid traditions, you will learn how to work with the sabbats in a way that is meaningful, practical, and aligned with your own path.
Do I need experience with witchcraft to take this course?
No. This course is designed for both new and intermediate witches. Everything is clearly taught and thoughtfully structured so you can understand not just what to do, but why you are doing it.
Do I have to celebrate all 8 sabbats?
No. As an Eclectic Witch, you are encouraged to work only with the sabbats that resonate with you. Your practice should reflect you, not a system you feel obligated to follow.
Is this course Wiccan?
No. While the course covers the Wiccan roots of the Wheel of the Year, it is not a Wiccan course. You are free to approach the work through your own beliefs, whether that includes deities, energy work, or a more secular practice.
Is this just information, or will I actually practice witchcraft?
This is a hands-on course. You will apply what you learn through projects, reflection, and practice, so you leave with a sabbat system you can actually use.
How is this different from just reading a book?
This course gives you structure, clarity, and access to a real teacher. Instead of trying to piece things together on your own, you are guided step by step and supported as you build your practice.
Can I follow my own spiritual path while taking this course?
Yes. You are encouraged to continue working with your own beliefs, whether that includes deities, guides, ancestors, or simply energy. This course supports your path. It does not replace it.
How long do I have access to the Course?
You will have immediate access to the full program upon enrollment, with no waiting for lessons to unlock. All course materials are provided as downloadable files, so you can save them and keep them as part of your personal Grimoire and lifelong reference. This means you may return to the lessons and your work at any time, without needing ongoing access to the classroom.
What kind of support will I receive?
You will have access to email support throughout your program. If you choose the 1:1 option, you will also work directly with Fiona for personalized guidance.
What will I actually be doing in this course?
You will study the history and meaning of the sabbats, learn their energies and correspondences, and actively create your own rituals, practices, and sabbat year. This is not passive learning. You will be building something real.
What is a 1:1 virtual coaching session like?
A coaching session with me is a fun hour of witchy conversation! We will begin with a brief meet and greet, then move into fine-tuning your unique sabbat year. Together, we will discuss your preferences, the sabbats that will form the foundation of your Witch’s Year, and any supplies or materials you may need. I will also share tips and insights from my own 30 plus years of practicing the sabbats. This is also the perfect time to ask your burning questions. We will meet through Google Meet, but if that does not work for you, we can choose another simple way to connect.
Choose the level of support that best fits the way you learn.
Both options are self-paced and include the same complete course materials including email correspondence with me. The difference is the level of personal guidance you receive.
Choose the 1:1 Coaching option if you would like a personalized virtual session with me after you complete the course, where we will refine your sabbat practice together and make it unique, enjoyable, and deeply meaningful.
