Wiccan rituals are ceremonies performed by practitioners of Wicca, a modern pagan religion. These rituals often celebrate the cycles of nature, such as the phases of the moon and the changing seasons, particularly during the eight major festivals known as Sabbats. Rituals may include casting a circle, invoking deities, and using tools like wands, chalices, and athames. Rituals can vary widely in structure and purpose, ranging from personal practices to group ceremonies. They often involve elements like chanting, meditation, and the use of herbs or crystals. The intent behind these rituals is typically to connect with the divine, seek guidance, or manifest desires.
