Irish Pagan Holidays Masterpost
Dia duit! /Jee-ah ghwitch (throaghty gh)/
Or if you don't want to go to youtube, you can check out the intoductory episode of their podcast:
Irish Paganism is a living tradition and should be respected as such.
Especially given its history of and current colonization. Do not contribute to that history by appropriating their traditions.
Although the Wiccan wheel of the year is heavily appropriated from Irish, Scottish, and Welsh Paganism, Irish Paganism is a unique practice and should not be treated as interchangeable with other Pagan practices.
For more about this and how to appreciate and celebrate Irish culture without appropriation, please visit the Irish Pagan School. The folks over there are where I got most of the information I share.
I'm a beginner in this and do not claim any expertise or authority. I mostly made these posts for me to have visuals and reminders for each of the festivals. Please read the articles linked in each for actual information!
I will update links as I post throughout 2026:
