It’s that time of year again–the “shortest” day of the year, Winter Solstice. This year it technically falls on December 22nd, where daylight is short and the sun is weak.

As a former practicing pagan (back in the day, when I lived in Minneapolis), I was wondering if there was anything going on in Sactown this season. I know there are pagans here, as there are those of every religious/spiritual persuasion. I want to check in after being “checked out” for some time.

But it seems that pagans in Sacramento are practical–they apparently had their celebration on December 16. Seems odd to me–kind of like having Thanksgiving on a Friday in another country. But then again, pagans are informal in many respects and very open minded. It’s an everyday magic kind of thing.

By the way, in my research today, I discovered a local newspaper, and a druid school. I don’t know if these are active, but if you’re interested, here you go.
