Answer 1

For me it's Beltane all the way!!!! After a winter of looking at bare tree branches and shivering in the cold weather, I look forward to the first buds and when they appear in February, I cry every time. By the time Beltane arrives, my flowers are in, the fruit trees are full of unripe fruit just teasing me on the tree, and the perfume of the warm sweet evenings is intoxicating!

Not to mention that school is almost out for the summer and I can hang up my teaching brain for 3 months and dive head first and with giddy abandon into a good book or the nearest pool, or both!

I celebrate it by going to my favorite Witch circle, and participating in the Beltane fires, sharing, dancing, singing, and blessing the Goddess and the God. Privately, I cast a special circle and give thanks for the coming of warm weather and sleeping in!

Bright Blessings,
Lady Morgana

Answer 2

do not think of Ive ever heard Pagan steel.... i'm an excellent fan of Wendy Rule, met her some cases she's a alluring soul. I additionally love Miranda intercourse backyard and Mediaeval Baebes, they're specifically Pagan besides the shown fact that they do a great sort of christian stuff. i don't make a factor of listening to pagan song, yet once I come throughout some thing cool its an advantage. Wasn't Stevie Nicks a Pagan?

Answer 3

Many Hellenic Pagans do not use the Wheel of the Year with eight Sabbats. To find out more about the calender many of us use visit the HMEPA: Hellenic Month Established Per Athens Hellenic Calendar

That being said, when I celebrate with Wiccans or other Pagans, my favorite Sabbat is Samhain..... I tend to link it in my mind with celebrations like the Thesmophoria......

Answer 4

Yule.

I keep the traditional heathen Mothersnight vigil on the solstice, hold a Freyrsblot around the 25th, and celebrate 12th Night with other heathens.

The Walpurgisnacht/May Day cycle is a close second, because of all the folkloric elements that have been preserved, and Freyfaxi is personally important to me as well, since it was the first blot I did as a heathen.

Answer 5

Samhain/Halloween. We celebrate Halloween in the "traditional" way of giving out candy. Samhain is a time of reflection for us... also a time of thanks(giving). The closest Full Moon to the date is when we normally celebrate it, but there's never any organized ritual. We usually go camping and just enjoy each others company and plan out our next year.

Answer 6

Beltane & Samhuinn, I have celebrated before by myself in meditative contemplation and respect, but I am looking forward to Samhuinn this year because I have joined Pagan Parenting and am excited for the experience of the gathering. Sad I know, but it isn't like you can just walk around and find like in San Antonio. Thank the God & Goddess for the internet site http://www.meetup.com

Answer 7

(Sowyn) Samhain of Course!

but then again I'm an Ex-Pagan :(

So now i celebrate it the normal way (Dressing up and scaring little kids! ^_^)

But of course once you've been Pagan it's hard to stop feeling the power that these special days posses.
I will always feel the Urge to do something Wiccany on Samhain.

Answer 8

Beltane. Nothing like being out in the park with 150+ fellow Pagans and celebrating the union of the God and the Goddess (even if we have to do it in a couple of inches of snow some years). Woohoo, fertility festival! Yay, maypole!

Answer 9

Yule, Samhain, and Ostara, because those being widely celebrated, I can involve the whole family, even those who aren't pagan. It's more fun to celebrate with others.

Answer 10

Halloween (we call it that, and not Samhain) is a special and personal time of the year for me. Every Halloween night since '89, I have done some sort of organized ritual. It's always different every year, and it's been interesting to look back and see how what I was doing in a given year generally reflected my life at the time.
