We do not gather together to celebrate all these events, but
we do make every effort to join together to celebrate the main ones. The
solstices, equinoxes and main birthdays of our personal Gods and Goddesses
are all celebrated as a group. Everything else, including full moon
celebrations are celebrated as a group if possible, or individually if our
lives make it impossible to join together.
The most important thing to remember when scheduling
celebrations and rituals is that the date is not as important as the event
itself. The Gods and Goddesses are very forgiving if you celebrate them on a
different day, but they can become angry if you do not celebrate at all.
