The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/new-years-day)
Looking toward 2026, our communities face uncertainty, but we have practiced resilience to an art. Amid political noise and cultural strain, care, memory, and mutual support remain our strongest tools for survival—quiet acts that resist erasure and sustain meaning through turbulent times.
TWH’s editor-in-chief, Manny Tejeda y Moreno looks into 2025 and wonders how history might be repeating itself with the rise of the “broligarchy.”
In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, congratulations to Cherry Hill Seminary graduates! A rising Black Moon is ahead just before the new solar year. And speaking of which, blessings of Janus! We look at some New Year’s Day traditions around the world. After all, in our opinion, nothing brings in the new year better than a little Witchcraft!
TWH welcomes back Nathan Hall, who writes about the new year as a time to concentrate on healing and shadow work. “As ever, this is a great time to be a Witch or magickal person. There can be no wrong time, really, because we often consciously attempt to work as conduits for manifesting the needs of the universe, and by extension, our little place in the world.”
TWH’s editor-in-chief Manny Tejeda Moreno looks forward to the stories to come in Pagan news for 2023.
