The Earth rotates and revolves around the Sun in Her annual dance among the stars. The patterns of Her movement have given us a means to mark time and gague annual events brought to us by the seasons and position of the Earth in relationship to the Sun. The most common events of importance to the Pagan community are the times of the Phases of the Moon, Equinoxes and Solstices. If you have something in addition to these that you would like to add, feel free to email Sylvan SilverNight with notification.
