If you live below the Equator, your holidays will obviously be held at a different time than your Northern neighbors, because Pagan and Wiccan celebrations are based on agricultural events, rather than dates. If you have an upcoming event taking place in the Southern Hemisphere, feel free to email me with your information, and I'll add it to the calendar![/p]
