2026 Magical Calendar

I sat down the other day and realized it was mid-December, and I wanted to plan out activities for the next year. Then I saw that I didn't have a calendar for next year. This snowballed into me looking for the dates of the full and new moons, zodiac dates, solstice and equinox... The list was extensive. I prefer to have a printed calendar for my kitchen bulletin board (yup, I have a whole wall that is cork... it's awesome!) Of course finding a ready to buy off the shelf calendar is impossible for me, not because of price, but just because of the lack of inclusion of Pagan holidays. 

I did add in all Federal Holidays to the calendar but not this list. ( I mean, it would be stupid not to, the rest of the United States runs on this... and I have been caught out going to the bank on a holiday...)

This is the link to the Free Download for the 2026 Calendar. Please note it is designed to be light on ink usage for printing... No added fluff like images. There is space to write notes or appointment times for each date, while being printable at home on standard 8 1/2" x 11" copy paper. File is a PDF.

Below are the dates for those of you who would like to make your own calendar or to reference for rituals.
