For me, personally, as basicly being 'solitary' I like to spend alot of the day before I celebrate a Sabbat 'reading up' on the history, coorespondences and all sorts of things like that. I will admit taht I can go a bit 'over board", but it helps me to 'get in the mood.'
Perhaps we can start a subject matter on different Sabbats to do with that on this section of the board.
