Which sabbat do you look forward to most? What special way do you celebrate it?
Mine's Samhain. I live the whole feeling of autumn, and I go all out for Samhain.

I favor both Beltane and Samhain -- Beltane because the local Pagan community holds a large public festival which is always loads of fun, and Samhain because it is the sabbat with which I feel the most personal spiritual affinity.
At Beltane we have a public ritual, and potluck, and a maypole, run by different local groups each year. There's always something new to enjoy and it's great to see people who I don't see at any other time.
At Samhain I host a private ritual in my home, usually for 10-13 people, where we honor the spirits of those who have died and share special memories about our beloved dead. It is a much more solemn time than Beltane but deeply meaningful, at least to me.

Ye Gods what a question! Normally I would say Samhain. But lately I've started really getting into all of the Autumn festivals starting with Lammas :) Then there's Beltane and Yule - Fire Fire Fire! And Imbolc! I'm a Flame-Keeper so that's extra special!
On the basis of going All Out? Samhain :)

I think Samhain has got to be the best! The air tingles with electricity! :) We usually go to a Samhain weekend in our area and tent camp. It's cold as _____, but it's an experience like no other!!! :)

Midyear 8, Lindisfarne Day: On this day in the year 1043 Runic Era (793 CE) three Viking ships raided the Isle of Lindisfarne, officially opening what is the Viking Age. Toast these brave warriors who began the noble resistance of the alien invasion of the Northlands and sought rightful revenge for the slaughter of the Saxons by Charlamange.

i like Sabbats... that's stressful to decide for. I even have distinctive relaxing with Pagan friends & relatives celebrating. I continually basically say "whichever comes next". As for Goddesses, no longer everybody believes all Goddesses are a similar under diverse names. ' i do no longer worship a triple moon Goddess myself; I worship Hellenic Gods and Goddesses.
