angelwings are you still in the epilepsy monitoring unit? if not what were the results. if the tests showed you do have it there will most likely be some things you are going to have to deal with (choosing non seizure causing colors, safe proofing the location, making others aware that you have it so that the person performing the wedding knows what to do should you suddenly drop down into a seizure, the form of the wedding may need to be changed ie it wouldnt be the best thing for an epileptic to be jumping over a broom at the moment that their brain fires off erratically especially if you are just being diagnosed and the right combo of meds havent been found yet to prevent sudden onset of a seizure...my point when someone has seizures certain precautions have to be put in place. )

as for pagen wiccan holidays no there are non in november, and pagan wickens dont celebrate full moons thats a myth found in many sci fi movies and tv shows. they do believe the moon just like scientists do that the moon affects things here on earth and some people are sensitive to the moon's powerful gravitational pull but pagan\wiccans dont worship the moon. a traditional ritual called an Esbat is what a cerimony during the full moon is called, it is usually done once a month, in old times before phones and internet they used the full moon as a way for everyone to know when to get together to celebrate those in the coven who have accomplished great things. example if someone in the coven made their first hunting kill that coven would celebrate by having an Esbat word of mouth would pass along john jr (not a real name) killed a lion. every one would know to go to the meeting place at the next full moon. obviously people dont travel by foot from tribe\coven to tribe\coven anymore but people do sometimes still use the idea of celebrating someone in the coven by having an Esbat on the next full moon from when they accomplished that. your coven can help you get all the supplies like a moon candle, the special kind of cake and the alcoholic beverage, considering you may be on epilepsy meds you might want to forgo the alcohol and replace it with apple cider and leave out the alcohol from the special cake\cookies. and other supplies for the Esbat
Thanks for this!
