♠ Pagan Roots. Pomegranate: The International Journal of Pagan Studies. Leaping Hare Pagan Convention in Colchester, Essex, UK. This is the website for the annual Leaping Hare convention, which is held every spring in Colchester, Essex, Britain.
We will update this site with information about each forthcoming convention, as well as featuring reviews of previous years. The 2013 convention went remarkably well and I think those attending will agree that the standard of talks and workshops was very high this year. We'd like to thank Cilla, Ferdiad, the Tribal Dancers, Kris, Terry, Sam, Fiona, Clan Ogma, and Luthaneal for all their sterling performances.
Our thanks go to all the volunteers on the day ~ particularly Di for coordinating everything, John for manning the door, Terry for emceeing, Tony for taxiing speakers about, Libby for booking the stalls, Barry for opening the day, and Venetia for advertising the event. Oakleaf Circle Pagan Resources Network. Pagan Calendar - December 2011. This Pagan calendar shows Pagan, Witch, Druid and Heathen festivals, dates and events.
Important neo-pagan festivals and religious holidays are included even if research into the origins are sketchy, as they are important in modern paganism. Understanding festivals roots is a good idea, for the fire festivals, research the Coligny calendar and Margaret Murray. For the Celtic tree calendar, research Robert Graves.
