Sunday, October 10, 2010.

Thursday, December 30, 2010. New Year's 2011 — Wiccan Style! At this time of year, some neophyte and long-time Wiccans and Pagans can feel left out of the traditional religious and secular celebrations, including New Year's Eve. As an Eclectic Wiccan, I follow the Wheel of the Year, so I celebrate the Sabbat of Yule, which is celebrated on the Winter Solstice. But, I also love the secular aspects of Christmas, so I use that theme to decorate my home. Just make sure that you link your celebration to natur...
