I've only recently started studying witchcraft in general. I live in the Southern Hemisphere, very far south, and I've been wondering about this because the books and content creators I've read and watched are from people who live in the Northern Hemisphere and celebrate the Wheel of the Year according to their seasonal changes (as it originally was, since the Wheel of the Year has Celtic and Germanic origins). So, when I find practitioners from the Southern Hemisphere, I've noticed that they either don't celebrate it at all, or they study it but don't perform rituals or offerings on those days. Those who do celebrate it do so according to the Northern Hemisphere's seasonal changes, or they celebrate it according to the Southern Hemisphere's. So my question is, do I have the right to celebrate these Sabbats if I don't have Celtic or Norse ancestry (nor do I have ancestry from any Indigenous people of my country, if anyone was wondering)? And if I can celebrate it, do I follow the Northern Hemisphere's seasonal changes (as it originally was) or the Southern Hemisphere's?
