When are the Wiccan holidays, and Sabbaths? Do Wiccans celebrate Christmas? Or a variation thereof? I'm just starting out so I have no idea. Thanks.
Mr. Tim Anders? First, I don't have "parents" I live with my Mother, and she doesn't care if I'm a Wiccan or not. Thanks for your input though.
Mighty Daughter of the Only God, stay from Wicca or any form of satanic worship, the it of many names that the Muslim worship one of its names is earth god which vicunas claim to worship yet it is merely Satan/death under one of its names false names! You may have noticed here on the yahoo answers forum many vicunas and satanic worshipers are always speaking of the sickness or death that is all around them some of them have said! When you worship the it of many names/death that is what it expects from you the Muslim openly worship it and it asks for their death, but such as the vicunas it secretly attacks them due to them being wise enough to know not to blow themselves up...For proof Gods enemy has been now found by Science! And For many truths of this day of the Epic gathering for Matthew 25:34-5:5 And for waking thoughts and proofs/truths go go ogle Adam and Eve seed gathering medical ministry and on the about page and services page are many waking truths as are literally images of Gods enemy and ours now found by Gods science...it has begun the Epic gathering of Science and theology for the now end of aging/death/Satan with Gods keys/code now given...Rev:1:18 ...it has begun..contact page is for questions...
Wiccans, like other Pagans and Heathens, celebrate the original midwinter festival the Christians adopted after the conversion of Constantine. Most call it Yule, as it is called even in christian countries in most parts of the world (including my home country). It is only called "Christmas" in a very few countries and even they usually know it has nothing to do with Christ as he was most likely born in the spring and would not have celebrated a birthday anyway (which is also a Pagan/Heathen practice he would have avoided).
Here is a link that will give you the Wheel of the Year from Yule to Samhain followed by many Pagans, including the Wiccans. http://www.witchway.net/days/days.html I also need to point out that not all Wiccans are witches - most are not. Witchcraft is a practice that people of any faith can use and study while Wicca is a specific religious path, no witchcraft required.
Generally they celebrate seasonal things. Solstices and Equinoxes, cross quarter days (like Halloween/Samhain, Beltane, etc). Some celebrate special times on the lunar cycle as well.

Now, while I don't celebrate "Christmas" honoring the birth of Christ - Yule celebrations incorporate a lot of the same decorations, activities, and such as Christmas, so I combine my activities and celebrations with those of my family and friends who celebrate Christmas as a religious or secular holiday. My actual Sabbat ritual would be either with my coven, but all the other ways to honor the Yule season can pretty much be enjoyed whenever, wherever. Attuning yourself to the season can help you to "connect" with your gods.

Christmas is a Christian holiday, so why would we celebrate it or a variation of it? Plenty of Wiccans celebrate the secular side of Christmas (gathering with family, gift giving, etc), but that has nothing to do with being Wiccan. We also have a holiday around the same time called Yule, but that is Yule, not a variation of Christmas.

Satanism is not a Christian invention
Satanism predates Christianity and all other religions
Satanism is not about spooks, goblins, vampires, Halloween monsters or other related entities
Satanism is not about "evil"
Satanism is not an invention of, or a "reaction" to Christianity
Satanism is not a creation of Anton LaVey
Satanism is not about death
True Satanism is about elevating and empowering humanity to reach equality with the Gods, which was our True Creator (Satan's) intention
"IN THE SECRET OF MY KNOWLEDGE THERE IS NO GOD BUT ME"
-SATAN
From "Peace Be Unto Him"
The original religions now known as "Satanism" (by the way, "Satan" means "enemy" in Hebrew), were all based upon what is known as the "Magnum Opus" or Great Work. The one known as "Satan" is our True Creator God. He was prevented by the other Gods from finishing his work on humanity, that of the godhead. The godhead is physical and spiritual perfection. Now, if you continue to read on, I will prove this.
The serpent is seen everywhere in ancient relics and structures. The serpent was held sacred in all areas of the ancient world. Satan is the God Ea, aka ENKI, one of the first of the Nephilim to arrive on this planet and establish the first civilization. In Sumerian mythology, Enki's symbol was always the serpent.
The serpent represents the DNA, the life force and the kindling and has survived as the emblem of the American Medical Association and Veterinary medicine, where it is symbolic of life and healing. Only with the coming of Judeo/Christianity, has this sacred symbol been desecrated and blasphemed.
Nearly all of us are familiar with the term "fallen." This word has been used copiously by Christian clergy to refer to Satan and his Demons. In truth, "fallen" pertains to the kindling serpent (which has always been associated with our Creator God Satan), which has fallen in humanity as a whole and now lies dormant at the base of the spine. Because of this, humanity as a whole is on a very low level of spiritual understanding. Thoughtless abuses of children and animals, senseless wars, brutality and endless corruption are the results of the fallen serpent. The "Tree of Life" which was stolen from the ancient Pagan religions and found its way into the biblical book of Genesis, was seen in many parts of the ancient world.
