Why change the Pagan calendar for DC? Most of us are urban and globalized, and the agricultural Wheel of the Year doesn’t have a lot of meaning for us (sub)urban people. Rituals and holidays have become just one more item to check off in our busy schedules. We go, participate in the ritual, and leave when finished. Convenience is the order of our calendar. Many of us have gotten away from celebrating our holidays and local festivals with visiting and fellowship with friends and family, decorating hearth and home, and being in the rhythm of Nature/the Universe. A local Pagan calendar can a tool to support and express our beliefs and spirituality in the here and now.
