Wiccan Rituals on the Sabbats

All of these occasions it is generaly customary for a Wiccan to do rituals. (And there are other reasons for Wiccan rituals aswell, such as blessings, healing, initiation, and life passages.)
It doesn't really matter whether you celebrate a Sabbat on your own or with others, in a quiet gathering or a full-drama ritual.
