Sacred Samhain
Halloween
Third Harvest
Festival of Pomona
Day of the Dead
Feast of Spirits
Witches’ New Year
Samana
Celtic Winter

Vernal Equinox
First Day of Spring
7:70 PM (EST) 20 March 2007
Astronomically:
Today, Day and Night are equal – sort of. (Because the Sun becomes visible before it is actually above the horizon, this day is not an equilux. Darn refraction of the atmosphere!)
The Earth’s equatorial plane and the plane of the ecliptic (the plane of our orbit [...]

Winter Solstice
First Night of Winter
21 December 2006, 19:22 EST

This is the first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. (Or the first day of Summer in the Southern hemisphere.) The Sun is directly overhead at noon along the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5′ S). This is the southernmost point of the Sun’s progression. From this day [...]
