As for my bio, I have been Pagan for nearly forty years - ever since I got kicked out of Sunday school for asking too many awkward questions. I follow a very eclectic path, combining Celtic Pagan beliefs with Hindu and Buddhist concepts, plus Polynesian and Native shamanism. Although mostly solitary, I do enjoy leading rituals and ceremonies, and have successfully led large Pagan circles for Sabbats and Esbats. My (unintentional) speciality seems to be conducting Pagan funeral services.
As well as being something of an activist in the Pagan community, I am also a professional tarot reader and teacher, a spiritual psychotherapist, an author, and a stained glass and fabric artist.

Lecture

Sacred Dates of Pagans from Around the World
Based on the research I did for my calendar - - Celebrations - A Pagan Date Book 2005 (www.geocities.com/celebrations2005). In this seminar I will talk about the history of calendars, how the changing seasons influenced beliefs in different parts of the globe, suggestions for rituals associated with certain days, and how Pagans from around the world came to hold very similar beliefs, apparently independently from one another
