The Pagan holiday calendar for 2022 is a comprehensive list of the important dates and celebrations observed by various Pagan and Wiccan communities throughout the year. Paganism is a diverse and decentralized religious movement that encompasses a wide range of beliefs, practices, and traditions. The calendar begins with Imbolc, which is celebrated on February 1st or 2nd. Imbolc marks the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox and is associated with the goddess Brigid and themes of purification and renewal. Next is Ostara, celebrated on the vernal or spring equinox, around March 20th. This holiday marks the official beginning of spring and is a time for celebrating fertility and new beginnings.
Moth Hush is still coming to terms with the revelation of her witchy heritage and magical abilities, but winter break is over, and it is time to head back to school and peers who were cruel even before magic entered her life. When Moth discovers an ancient charm that promises to grant her the confidence and social charisma that she lacks, it seems too good to be true. With the help of the charm, Moth soon finds her star rising, even receiving a nomination for the honor of Founderella, to be crowned at the Valentine’s Ball. Use of the charm has one major downside, however, as it invites the interference of a shadowy demonic presence. In a climax that is part Sabrina the Teenage Witch and part Carrie, Moth must face down not only the demon from the charm, but her own personal demons as well. Moth, who presents as Black and whose family traces its roots to a small fictional island off the Iberian coast, is a relatable hero readers can’t help but root for. While she grapples with the usual middle school angst surrounding identity, self-esteem, and where she fits in, she also forces the town and readers to confront issues of racism and privilege that are as pervasive in the town of Founder’s Bluff as they are in real life.
Moth Hush is still coming to terms with the revelation of her witchy heritage and magical abilities, but winter break is over, and it is time to head back to school and peers who were cruel even before magic entered her life. Broadening conflict swirls around frenemies Agatha and Sophie as the latter joins rejuvenated School Master Rafal, who has dispatched an army of villains from Capt.
This holiday marks the official beginning of spring and is a time for celebrating fertility and new beginnings. Beltane is celebrated on May 1st and marks the beginning of summer in the Pagan calendar. It is a time for honoring the union of the god and goddess, fertility, and the abundance of nature.
