Taken from her book, "Teen Witch" by:  Silver RavenWolf......

    In Paleopagan times (over 4,000 years ago), there were only two fire festivals, Beltaine and Samhain, to welcome and to bid farewell to the seasons of birth and death.  At the appropriate hour, at the highest point on the land, the people would light the bonfires, one by one, until the entire countryside blazed with controlled fires.  To many Europeans, the official ceremony began at the dying of the sun the day before the holiday and ended three days hence at sunset.  These fire festivals were associated with planting, harvesting, and hunting ceremonies.  Some Witches call the fire festival days the "days of power".  As European history progressed, two additional holidays were added: Imbolgc and Lammas, creating the four fire festivals.  German Pagans added the equinoxes and solstices, creating eight High Holy Days (rather than the original four).

    As the season's change for us and we get into our Sabbats and Esbats we will share with you our celebrations.  We take lots of pictures during our holidays so we hope to share them as well.
