Dianic Wicca is a feminist form of Wicca that focuses on the empowerment of women and the celebration of the divine feminine. Founded in the 1970s by Zsuzsanna Budapest, Dianic Wicca seeks to reclaim the spiritual traditions, rituals, and beliefs that honor the goddess within all women. There are several books available that explore and delve into the practices and teachings of Dianic Wicca. These books serve as valuable resources for those interested in learning more about this branch of Wicca and its rituals, philosophy, and beliefs. One prominent book in the Dianic Wicca literature is "The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries" by Zsuzsanna Budapest. Considered a foundational text for Dianic Wiccans, this book offers insights into the history, practices, and rituals specific to the Dianic tradition.
I did this for other scatterbrained pagans and witches who just don’t have time to write everything down or remember all that info.

Google Calendar of Pagan Days…
UPDATE 18 April 2018 — The Google calendar is deleted. Some changes on Google’s end, and some unawareness of those changes on my end, resulted in a guest user of the calendar deleting most of the content and individual entries in order to make more closely adhere to their practice. After some discussion with them (which was generous, kind, and entirely responsible rather than malicious or tinted with argument), I decided to discontinue this calendar at this time.
I’ve made my calendar available through iCal at webcal://p04-calendarws.icloud.com/ca/subscribe/1/93f2LWSQqmS4Dj7Ei4Kmak9GWuo4MxqYuzIgVGdT1GGoGhU5eISyV0WDRa2jzQCpFoaOZv-GtCeFE8Yz0BcJ7LOeDe1HHzcTjbVQFOQobFY rather than Google, but I can’t seem to test whether or not it works… because it’s hosted on my account, and therefore my own iCal application can’t connect to it through some sort of failure of circular logic. So if it doesn’t work, please let me know.
Update 23 January 2017: This post is one of my most-visited posts, even eight years later. If you’d like to thank me for creating this perpetual calendar, please consider PayPal’ing me a few bucks, or buy a copy of Poems for the Behenian Stars on Etsy, or through Amazon (cheaper!) my chapbook/guide to the spiritual meanings of brightest stars in the northern sky.
Update 6 April 2017: FESTAE is a set of poems that I wrote organized around the pagan days of this calendar. It’s available through Amazon. THE SUN’S PACES is another collection, organized around the Greco-Roman-Mediterranean deities of the Zodiac’s subdivisions. It’s available through Amazon, as well. THE MANSIONS OF THE MOON is a collection of twenty-eight poems based around the secret Zodiac that rules the Moon’s movements in particular. It’s also available through Amazon.
I’ve been meaning to do this, and a few friends bullied/inspired me into doing it, finally. It’s the list of the various pagan/spiritual days that I tend to notice and celebrate in some fashion when they pass by. Currently, I’ve not added in the poetry associated with each day, but it is a basic guide to the 113 festival days. Hey, any excuse for a party.
Because it’s on Google Calendar, you do have the ability to add this to your calendar there. Because it’s on Google Calendar, you can download it and install it on programs like iCal and the freeware programs like Sunbird/Thunderbird. You can even download it and put it on Microsoft’s program, whatever it’s called. Enjoy.
• In the “notes” section of the event I have included basic little paragraphs of information about the Sabbat, Esbat, or Moon Phase. ***For iPhone: Click on “Show All Notes” to read the full thing.***

Reviews for "Dianic Wicca and Ecofeminism: Finding Harmony with Nature"
1. Emma - 2 stars - I was really excited to learn about Dianic Wicca by reading these books, but I was quite disappointed. The information provided was surface-level and lacked depth. The books did not provide any practical guidance or step-by-step instructions for practicing Dianic Wicca. As someone who wanted to dive deeper into this path, I found myself unsatisfied with the lack of substance in these books.
2. Liam - 1 star - I found the Dianic Wicca books to be incredibly biased towards a particular viewpoint and lacked objectivity. The author seemed to have a personal agenda and pushed their own beliefs onto the reader without considering other perspectives. This made it difficult for me to fully trust the information presented in these books. I was hoping for a more well-rounded and objective exploration of Dianic Wicca, but unfortunately, these books fell short in that aspect.
3. Sophia - 3 stars - While I appreciate the effort put into these Dianic Wicca books, I found them to be overly simplistic and lacking in practicality. The concepts were explained in a way that made it difficult for me to grasp their practical application in real-life rituals and practices. The lack of detailed instructions and examples left me feeling lost and unsure of how to actually engage with Dianic Wicca. For beginners, these books may not be the most helpful resource.
4. Jackson - 2 stars - As someone who enjoys a well-organized and easy-to-follow structure in books, I found the Dianic Wicca books to be quite disorganized and confusing. The information seemed scattered and not properly connected, making it difficult for me to fully comprehend the teachings. There were also numerous errors and inconsistencies throughout the books, which further added to my frustration. Overall, I felt that the lack of organization and attention to detail hindered my learning experience with these books.
