2008 Wiccan Calendar
Pagans and Wiccans love to celebrate, and as the Wheel of the Year
turns, a number of milestones are reached. Each is a time for
gathering together with friends and family, working on our spiritual
development, and feasting and merrymaking! The following is a list of
dates for 2008, as well as resources for celebration in both the
Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Also, before you go to an event, make sure you read about proper Pagan
and Wiccan Festival Etiquette. It'll make your experience even more
