January 2025 Pagan Events: A Whirlwind Tour (and a Few Missed Opportunities!)

Hey everyone! So, January 2025. I'm already so behind on planning my Pagan events calendar – I know, I know, I'm terrible! But I’m making amends. I’m going to share what I've found so far for January 2025, along with some lessons learned (mostly the hard way, lol).

I'm a big fan of Yule, obviously. And I really wanted to hit some awesome winter solstice celebrations last year, but I messed up big time. I totally spaced on booking accommodations for a Yule gathering near Sedona—it was sold out by October! Lesson learned: Book Pagan events WAY in advance, especially popular ones. Seriously, don't wait until the last minute. For popular events like Yule celebrations or Samhain gatherings, you might need to book months, even a year, ahead.

Finding January 2025 Pagan Events: Where to Look

Okay, so where to actually find these events? That's the million-dollar question, right? Well, it's not that easy, but it's manageable. My go-to methods include:

1. Local Pagan Groups and Shops:

This is the best place to start. Your local metaphysical shops are amazing resources, often putting up event calendars (or posting flyers). Connect with pagan groups on Facebook or Meetup too; they're often organizing smaller gatherings or workshops throughout the year. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask!

2. Online Event Calendars and Forums:

There are websites and forums dedicated to Pagan events and festivals. I can’t provide links here, but you can easily find them via a simple web search. Look for forums and communities related to specific traditions (Wicca, Druidry, etc.) too, because they'll often have details on niche celebrations.

3. Pagan Websites and Blogs:

Many Pagan websites and blogs post event listings, sometimes focusing on regional events. Check these out; they often provide a good overview, though details might be missing.

Specific January Events (What I've Found So Far):

Unfortunately, because it's still pretty early (as I'm writing this), many January 2025 event details aren’t finalized. But here's what I do know (for a vague time period):

• Imbolc Celebrations: Imbolc usually falls sometime in early February, but some groups may start their celebrations in late January, leading up to the official date. So keep an eye out! Many communities hold small, intimate Imbolc gatherings focusing on purification and rebirth.
• Winter Solstice (Carryover): While the winter solstice is in December, some groups extend celebrations into early January. This is especially true if you're looking at smaller gatherings rather than huge festivals. Check for “Twelve Days of Yule” events, which might still be happening.
• Workshops and Classes: January is a great time for spiritual growth workshops and classes. You might find workshops focused on spellcraft, divination, herbalism, or other topics. Check local metaphysical shops or pagan groups for these.

Remember: Always confirm dates, times, and locations directly with the organizers, just in case. Things change!

My Top Tips for Planning Your Pagan Events in 2025:

1. Start Early: Seriously, start now! The best events book up fast.
2. Be Flexible: Things change. Be prepared to adjust your plans if needed.
3. Check Multiple Sources: Don't rely on only one source for finding events.
4. Connect with Your Community: Engage with local groups. You'll discover hidden gems!
5. Embrace Spontaneity: Sometimes the best events are the ones you stumble upon unexpectedly!

I’m still actively searching for January 2025 events. If you find something amazing, please share! Let's make 2025 the best year yet for Pagan celebrations. Happy planning!
