What Are the Druid Holidays?
Most Neopagan Druids celebrate the turning of the Wheel of the Year by observing eight High Days: the two solstices and the two equinoxes, as well as the four halfway points between (which were originally the great fire festivals of our European predecessors). Due to our calendrical researches, the purists among us sometimes celebrate the Fire Festivals a few days after other Neopagans do. Some groves also celebrate the various phases of the moon, or the beginnings and endings of various hunting, fishing, and agricultural seasons. Because Neopagan Druidism (in A.D.F.) is focussed so much on public service, local groves in the USA may also celebrate holidays from the secular and mainstream calendars, such as Bring Back the Snakes Day on March 17th, the Festival of the Goddess of Liberty on the 4th of July, or the Feast of the Turkey God in late November.
