The course of birth, life, decline, and death that we see in our human lives is echoed in the seasons. The eight Sabbats are re ...

All Sabbat adhere to a code of conduct called "The Code of Milan", which preaches loyalty to sect and packmates, and to one's own freedom within the sect, as long as one's own good is never placed above the good of the Sabbat itself.

According to Orthodox Judaism, the Sabbatical year is still in force in modern-day Israel, and the seven year cycle has not been lost.

For some time, it was accepted that all debts between the people of Israel were to be remitted; however, most modern commentators and scholars hold that such debts were to be suspended for the year. This practice was, presumably, instituted to prevent the resources of the debtor, already stretched thin due t ...
