I am no wotch scholastic. I am not someone who excels in the subjects or topics related to witchcraft or the practice of magic. While there may be individuals who have a deep understanding of the occult and esoteric practices, I am not one of them. My knowledge and expertise lie in other areas, unrelated to witchcraft. It is important to clarify this because sometimes there can be misconceptions or assumptions made about a person's background or interests based on their appearance or demeanor. Just because someone may have a certain look or demeanor does not necessarily mean they are knowledgeable about witchcraft or magic.

Just because someone may have a certain look or demeanor does not necessarily mean they are knowledgeable about witchcraft or magic. Everyone has different areas of expertise and interests, and it is crucial to avoid making assumptions or generalizations about someone based on limited information or stereotypes. Just as it would be incorrect to assume that someone who wears glasses is a scholarly person, it would also be wrong to assume that someone who looks a certain way is automatically associated with witchcraft or magic.
The 2022 Pagan Calendar
So, back when I was writing for About.com/ThoughtCo/LearnReligions, one of my most popular pages was the annual calendar, which featured things like full moon dates, Sabbats, and other items I thought might be of interest. Since I’m no longer writing for them, and have no way to edit or update the calendar on LearnReligions — and because people keep asking me for the annual calendar — I’m going to go ahead and post it here. Please note that some of the links will take you back to LearnReligions for more detail — also, I’ll be updating this periodically to reflect festivals, conferences, and other events as I become aware of them, so feel free to go ahead and bookmark it!
Please note that all dates are based on Northern Hemisphere events unless otherwise noted, and the full moon dates and times displayed here are based upon the Farmer’s Almanac schedules, which is listed in Eastern Standard Time. You may need to adjust the time for these depending on where you live.
