Welcome back, and thanks for joining us.

Now we're going to go on to the Wheel of the Year.

I made up a little saying, which will hopefully help you to remember the order of the Sabbats in the Wheel of the Year.  

The Sabbats are our holidays, and what we celebrate.

Yes.  I.  Only.  Bring.  Love.   And Laughter.  And a Merry.  Song.

These stand for Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Laughnasadh, Mabon, and Samhain.

Do remember that everyone pronounces things differently.  

People in Boston say "Hello" one way, people in Texas say "Hello" another way, 

and there are different ways to say all kinds of things.

So, Laughnasadh could be LOON-as-ah.  Mabon could be MaBON, and all kinds of differently things.

But I'll bet you know what I'm talking about.

So here's the song.  It's called "Count the Sabbats."

Count the Sabbats, one by one, one by one, one by one.

Count the Sabbats, one by one, as the Wheel spins around.

Yule, Imbolc, then Ostara!  Ostara!  Ostara!

Yule, Imbolc, then Ostara!  As the Wheel spins around!

Count the Sabbats, one by one, one by one, one by one.

Count the Sabbats, one by one, as the Wheel spins around.

Beltane, Litha, Laughnasadh!  Laughnasadh!  Laughnasadh!  

Beltane, Litha, Laughnasadh!  As the Wheel spins around!

Count the Sabbats, one by one, one by one, one by one.

Count the Sabbats, one by one, as the Wheel spins around.

Mabon, Samhain, then over again!  Over again!  Over again!

Mabon, Samhain, then over again!  As the Wheel spins around!

Count the Sabbats... Sing with me!!

Count the Sabbats, one by one, one by one, one by one.

Count the Sabbats, one by one, as the Wheel spins around.

Yes, I only bring laughter and love, laughter and love, laughter and love,

Yes, I only bring laughter and love, as the Wheel spins around!

One last time. count with me!

Count the Sabbats, one by one, one by one, one by one.

Count the Sabbats, one by one, as the Wheel spins around.
