Is there a Wiccan or Pagan significance to 21 Aug?
Not particularly...the important dates for Wicca revolve around the season changes known as solstices and equinoxes. September 21st (circa 22nd) is the Autumn solstice and is therefor a holiday but August 21st is not a holiday. If however a full moon or new moon fell on August 21st then it would be considered an esbat (or moon ritual night)
What is the symbolic meaning of the apple?
The apple is the symbol of the divine.
Apple trees are symbolic of wisdom and guidance.
Slice an apple in half horizontally, take a look, you will see a pentagram.
The pentagram is a pagan symbol of power.
At some Samhain (sow-en) rituals the apple is sliced and the practitioners share both the apple as a symbol of life and the seed (which contain minute quantities of amygdalin, which is cyanide when metabolised) as a symbol of death.
While meditating you were surrounded by purple what does that mean?
Colors generally have two meanings depending on the appearance (vibrant v. dull) and state (consistent v. spiked). Colors such as black and brown can denote the same emotion regardless of appearance. ; Black : : Indicates hatred, negativity, depression and miserly. When this appears in an aura, it is usually localized or appears as wisps floating through the aura. ; Red : : Can indicate fear or anger. : Vibrant Red: When seen in a clear, vibrant and constant state, it represents fear or strong anxiety. : Dull Red: Generally represents anger. The deeper the red, the stronger the emotion. : A Consistent Red: A consistent dark red indicates a violent nature, a selfish and deceitful attitude. : A Red Spike: A spike of red, either vibrant or dull in appearance, indicates the same meanings as above. However instead of representing the consistent nature of the subject, the spike indicates the sudden emotion in the current conversation or situation the subject is engaged in at that moment. ; Yellow : : Success, creativeness, jealousy, selfishness.
It has been my experience that a person with a thin line (1-4 inches) of yellow takes on the characteristics of this color in either their personal or professional life, but not both. A yellow aura wider then 5 inches, indicates characteristics in both aspects of the subjects life. : Vibrant Yellow: Clear yellow denotes intelligence, wisdom, and success. : Dull Yellow: A dull yellow indicates jealousy, a selfishness and negative outlook. ; Green : : Healing
: Light Green shades, indicate the onset or potential for injury and the subject should be cautious for the next few weeks. : Darker Green shades, generally indicate the injury has already occurred and is in the process of healing. ; Blue :: Spiritually searching. A dissatisfaction or a feeling that there's something more. : Vibrant Blue: Pride, adoration, dedication.
A subject with any shade of the lighter blues is generally beginning their spiritual quest. (This does not mean a metaphysical quest, but rather a journey that will fill the 'missing' pieces of their current existence. This can just as easily be accomplished through any fundamental religion).
Darker blues typically indicate the subject has found their spiritual path and is continuing their education in the chosen realm. : Dull Blue: Taking life for granted, being too content, can appear to be selfish, narrow minded, arrogance, or self-righteous. There are many traits which accompany religious zeal, such as self-righteousness, dedication, pride, adoration and worship. These wide variations are usually indicated by some shade of blue. ; Purple: : Heightened spiritual awareness, self-esteem, and high ideals. : Light Purple: People with lighter shades of purple are refining or polishing their spiritual nature. They are actively working on the balance of each aspect of their lives (personal, spiritual, professional), their attitudes and acceptance of others, and their existence with other life. : Mid-Dark: Teachers of their chosen spiritual path. They maybe working on a few issues of balancing, but for the most part, they are patient, kind, and willing to go out of their way for people. ; White : : Indicates purity and/or protection. When detected in the outer layers of the aura, can indicate an area of the body which has been over energized, or is over active. The following are not primary colors, but each is associated with very strong and consistent emotions. Unlike other combination colors, these have meanings of their own and can stand on their own merits. ; Pink : : Affection, love, enjoyment, pity, guilt. : Vibrant Pink: Indicates love, affection and a resilient temperament. : Dull Pink: Denotes 'care with caution', pity or guilt. ; Orange: : Confidence, ambition, pride. : Vibrant Orange: Indicates ambition, pride, self-sufficiency. : Dull Orange: A lack of warmth, but a strong desire for success and popularity. ; Brown : : Selfishness, deception, confusion or discouragement. : Light Brown: Indicates confusion or discouragement. The lack of confidence in ones self, the present situation or in the subject being addressed. : Dark Brown: Indicates selfishness, fault finding, and a tendency toward deception.
Can you show me a picture of inverted star?
I believe you are referring to a five pointed star turned upside down (inverted). There are legitimate uses of this symbol in some pagan traditions, but as someone who has sold metaphysical jewelry for 20 years, I have found that most shop owners do not carry this symbol because it is subject to abuse. For the same reason most Christians would not use an upside down cross, most pagans do not use an upside down pentagram or pentacle. It is considered by some to be a symbol of perverted religion. As with all symbols, they have no innate power. The power is conferred by the person who uses the symbol.
The expression is "Merry meet, merry part and merry meet again" Meaning happy (good), meeting (coming together). To encounter one another in joy. To depart from one another in kindness and joy and to anticipate the chances that will bring us back into one another's presence.

Are there any videos of a Pagan wedding?
I haven't seen any videos, but there are web sites that describe a handfasting which is pretty much the same thing. Some Celtic sites also describe a handfasting. The handfasting's I have been to follow the pagan elements.
Well, to be a pagan, one must often hold nature in high regard. Seeing all life as sacred is a good start. A pagan is anyone part of a non-Abrahamic faith, so this includes Wiccans, Druids, Shamans, Native American spirituality, etc.
Believing in what the ancient pagans believed pretty much makes you one of them.

Who first documented the pagan festival of Eostre?
Ostara, the festival held in honour of the Greek Goddess Eostre, was originally documented by Bede, in his 8th century work De temporum ratione.

Historically
'Pagan' was the term Christians used to designate all those who did not accept the God of the Bible. The word 'pagan' is derived from the Latin word for country dweller. The pagans were the Greek and Roman polytheists who followed the cults of Mithras, Venus, Apollo, Demeter, etc. Today, however, Christians generally reserve the appellation for those who belong to no religion or who belong to one of the New Age nature religions or non-Christian cults.
Modern Pagan Religions
Nowadays "pagan" refers to people who practice non-Abrahamic, but not necessarily nature-based religions.
The most common branch is Wicca, and they believe in doing NO HARM to anyone. They use mystical and metaphysical forms of "prayer" and "worship", like candles, incense, chants, dance, earth cycles, moon cycles, seasonal cycles, etc to try to influence things. Their motto is "If it harm none, do as you will." They believe that if they do bad things to others, it will come back to them multiplied by three (Rule of Three). They believe there are spiritual guides and forces that most human beings cannot see but are available to ask for assistance. There are lots of books available on Wicca. Devil worship is NOT a part of Wicca!! Devil worshippers are deviants from the Christian belief in hell and Satan. Wiccans do not believe in hell or heaven; those are Christian ideas. Real Wiccans are gentle, loving people who are very misunderstood by other religions. Some Wiccans practice alone, others belong to groups called "covens."
Modern pagans are called "Neo-pagans". Many modern "Christian" traditions come from pagan festivals. For example, Christmas trees and Easter bunnies and eggs. Halloween is also an ancient pagan tradition. When the Christians took over the society of the pagans, the pagans refused to stop practicing their traditions, so the Christians integrated those festivals into the "church year." Christmas coincides with the winter solstice, and Easter with the spring equinox. They are not actually the dates of anything having to do with Jesus, but it got the pagan people to come to church. Now there is renewed interest in the pagan religions, and more and more people are practicing them, largely due to rejection of the practices of those organized religions in which they have lost faith.
Is numerology connected with paganism?
