In this episode, we’re exploring the fascinating world of pagan holidays. From ancient traditions that honor the cycles of nature to the seasonal festivals that celebrate the turning of the year, paganism offers a rich tapestry of beliefs that connect deeply with the earth and its rhythms. We’ll break down some key holidays like Samhain, Yule, and Beltane, and uncover the significance behind lesser-known celebrations like Imbolc and Lupercalia.

As we walk through the pagan calendar, we’ll explore the rituals, customs, and symbolism tied to each holiday. Whether it's lighting fires for protection, celebrating the return of the sun, or honoring the changing seasons, these festivals offer timeless ways to reflect on balance, renewal, and gratitude.
