What new year in wiccan?
I am going to go out on a limb here and guess your question is in fact "what is the new year in the Wiccan faith?" Most Wiccans and Pagans celebrate Samhain (Oct 31/Nov 1) as our New Year. We all do live in the everyday world where most people follow the Julian calender. So we also celebrate Dec 31/Jan 1 as most of our non-pagan friends do.
