Esbats

The wiccans celebrate each of the twelve months of the year as well as the eight Sabbats. Each month has a full moon where the power of the Esbat is at its peak. When a 13th full moon occurs in a year, there is two full moons in one of the twelve months. This is called a blue moon. I will be looking into the moon phases as I've noticed that full moons have a physical/emotional/spiritual effect on me. As far as the Esbats; I do agree that each month of the year is representative of its season and thus holds power in it so taking into consideration the Wiccan Esbats is of interest for me.
