Gatherings and Festivals

This is a listing of pagan and magical gatherings and festivals. Rather than posting the date for each year, we're just posting the time of year they occur. We'll update websites as necessary. And, of course, if you know of a gathering that's not up here, or if one we have up no longer exists, feel free to contact Lupa or Taylor.

A few of these can afford to help authors and other presenters cover travel fees and other expenses, while others can only afford to give us a free admission, and still others charge authors and presenters full admission and don't cover any travel or lodging expenses--contact the coordinators to find out what they offer beforehand.
