Magical Online & London Events Over Lunar New Year

Lunar New Year is on 10 February in 2024. It's celebrated as the Year of the Dragon in some Asian countries including China and Singapore - or the Year of the Naga in Thailand. Here's a list of events for pagans, witches and those with similar interests over that time and next couple of weeks. I mainly include in-person things in or near London, because that's where I'm based, as well as online talks and workshops you can do anywhere.
