Esbat



A regular meeting held in a coven of Witches which may include religious worship, business discussion, and/or magic and healing
work. The term esbat came into popular usage during the 20th century, and does not celebrate a major festival like the sabbats do.

The frequency of which esbats are held depends on the routine of the coven. Many coven meet at every full moon, which occurs
13 times during a year. Other coven meet on every new moon, wile others meet weekly.

These meetings may take place indoors or outdoors at a covener’s home. The dress is usually informal, such as loose clothing or
robes, or skyclad, nude. Animals, or pets, are allowed as long as they do not disturb the energy flow during the magical work.

Esbats are ended with sharing of food and drink. A.G.H.

Esne

(person) by smileloki (18.3 hr) (print)

In Norse Mythology, Esne was a hardworking woman who became the wife of Thrall. Their twelve sons and nine
daughters, who were strong and hard working, became the peasants, slaves, and laborers of the world and
formed the lowest class of the three classes of men.

The other classes of men are Carl or Karl (Freemen) and Earl (Noble) and full text of the myth can be found in the
Rigsthula from the Poetic Edda.
