In 2024, people who follow pagan traditions will celebrate a plethora of festivals. These festivals hold deep significance and are rooted in ancient customs and beliefs. Paganism, which encompasses various nature-based religions, reveres the changing seasons and the cycles of life. Imbolc, marked on February 1st, denotes the arrival of spring and the awakening of the earth. It is a time to honor Brigid, the goddess of fire, poetry, and healing. Celebrations typically involve lighting bonfires and making offerings of food and drink to Brigid.

Meet the Dealers
We’re Antoinette, Natasha, Matt and Simon. We’re good booze lovers just like you. We started our beery journey in 2013 when we opened the famous Brewski on Brisbane’s infamous Caxton Street. In 2018 we opened our first My Beer Dealer under Brewski, it’s one of the few drink-in bottle shops in Queensland and we’re super chuffed with it. 2020 was a big year for us, we launched our online store (you’re looking at it) and opened our second bricks ‘n mortar shop next to Eagle Junction station in Brisbane’s Clayfield (we’re super chuffed with it as well). Both of these have allowed us to complement our awesome beer range with our other passions of good wine and good spirits.
As we’re a small family run business we prefer to support other family businesses and small producers, ensuring that when you visit us it’s not the same old, same old. And by shopping with us we hope you get to feel good about supporting a whole heap of small businesses, just like we do. So if you do choose to buy through us, thank you from us and thank you from our family of suppliers (and thanks for reading this far, our copywriter is stoked).

People often dance around maypoles, weave flower garlands, and perform rituals to kindle sacred fires. Litha, the summer solstice festival occurring around June 21st, honors the longest day of the year. It is a moment to celebrate the sun and its life-giving energy. Pagans gather to watch the sunrise, participate in outdoor rituals, and engage in communal feasts. Lughnasadh, observed on August 1st, is a festival commemorating the first harvest. It pays homage to Lugh, the god of the sun, skills, and crafts. Communities engage in fairs, sporting events, and grain-based rituals to ensure a bountiful harvest and show gratitude for the earth's abundance. Mabon, occurring during the autumnal equinox around September 21st, marks the second harvest. Pagans reflect on the balance between light and darkness as the days become shorter. Celebrations often involve feasting, the creation of decorative cornucopias, and the expressing of gratitude for the earth's blessings. Samhain, celebrated on October 31st, is considered the most significant festival for many pagans. Also known as Halloween or the Day of the Dead, it is a time to honor and remember deceased loved ones. Pagans believe that during Samhain, the veil between the living and the spirit world is thinnest. Rituals may include divination practices, ancestor worship, and the sharing of stories about departed souls. Yule, taking place on the winter solstice around December 21st, marks the longest night of the year. It symbolizes rebirth, as it is believed that the sun will begin to strengthen after this turning point. Pagans decorate evergreen trees, light candles or fires, and exchange gifts to honor the return of the light. These pagan festivals offer a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of nature, spirituality, and community. They provide an opportunity for individuals to connect with ancestral traditions and embrace the rhythms of the natural world. Whether through rituals, feasts, or gatherings, these festivals allow pagans to express gratitude, celebrate life, and forge deeper connections with the divine..
Reviews for "The Artistic Expression at Pagan Festivals in 2024"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with Pagan festivals 2024. The event had very little organization and the vendors seemed uninterested in the attendees. The workshops were poorly planned and lacked substance. Overall, it felt like a waste of time and money. I won't be attending any future festivals organized by them.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I had high expectations for Pagan festivals 2024, but sadly, it fell short in every aspect. The performances were lackluster and the atmosphere was dull. The event lacked variety and excitement. It seemed like the organizers were more focused on making money than creating a memorable experience. I would not recommend attending this festival.
3. Michael - 2 stars - I was really looking forward to Pagan festivals 2024, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. The lineup of speakers and presenters was underwhelming, and the workshops offered very little in terms of content and value. The event felt disorganized and there were constant technical difficulties during the presentations. It was a letdown and I would not attend another festival organized by them in the future.
