This is the public-facing list of holy days I celebrate as part of my third culture pagan monastic practice.

I’ve excluded my family emancipation observances, solar-lunar arc return dates, holy days related to my cat, and my monthly contract review dates with Pluto, Saturn, and my Sídhe. Those have no relevance to anyone but my Gods and myself.
