I've made a spreadsheet that tells you which is the next pagan festival and how many days away it is. 🤓✨

Feel free to make a copy and use it yourself. I'll be tidying things up a bit over the next hour or two.
I didn't want to make a tool where I had to keep updating it with future accurate festival dates, so dates might be off by a day or two since some of them vary due to, astronomy reasons.
@cassolotl I know you didn't mean to but this nerd sniped me hard
Here's a spreadsheet that works out which day the solstice/equinox falls on for a given year, feel free to nick it wholesale

It's using an algorithm from Meeus' Astronomical Algorithms, it'll be accurate for the next thousand years, accurate enough for a few centuries past then
@cassolotl there's a lot of magic numbers in there and Meeus don't explain shit but it works
@cassolotl I just chucked Meeus' work into spreadsheet form really
If you find a copy of his Astronomical Algorithms (by say, following this link http://www.agopax.it/Libri_astronomia/pdf/Astronomical%20Algorithms.pdf ) there's a whole bunch of techniques for calculating lots of stuff like this, don't know which ones would be helpful for paganism but it's worth a look through
@troubleMoney Oh wow this is great, I was wondering if it would be possible to do that but I couldn't brain it! Thank you, I'll yoink it and play around with it! <3
