Seasonal practice begins with paying attention to where we live. OBOD explains that its festival calendar can be adapted for Southern Hemisphere seasons, placing the winter solstice in June and the summer solstice in December.

This is a perspective within modern Druidry. It does not establish a universal calendar for all Pagans. Different communities can follow different customs, and readers in tropical climates may find local rainfall and growing cycles especially useful subjects for reflection.
