Online and London Pagan Events in the Next Week


Here is a list of (mostly) online events for pagans, witches and those with similar interests. I've also added a few in-person activities in or near London, which I am starting to include as we come out of lockdown. I generally list events in the UK, but some of the online activities are outside that time zone, so check when it will start in your location. If you know of an online ritual, talk, meeting or workshop you want included, please email me at badwitch1234@gmail.com

It's so good to see real interactive events creeping back into the list. Let's hope they'll soon be in the majority!
