Sjamanistisk Forbund has created something truly unique with its shamanic calendar for 2026 – a beautiful and powerful expression of the timeless rhythms of nature and the ancient power days that bind us to the pulse of the earth. This calendar is more than an overview of days and months; it is a work of art that invites you to harmonize yourself with the rhythm of time, a path through darkness and light, through the shifting of the seasons and through the wisdom of olden times.

A Calendar That Carries Three Traditions
The calendar weaves together several spiritual traditions: It invites you to follow shamanism's own holy days, such as the new moon, full moon, dark moon, equinox and solstice – all crucial for understanding and living in step with the forces of nature. At the same time, the calendar is rich in the old Norse holy days, days that remind us of our ancestors' practice and connections to the wheel of the year.
In addition, the calendar embraces the holy days of the Wicca tradition, such as Imbolc, Lammas and Samhain, and ties together a broad spectrum of spiritual practices that all celebrate the cycles of nature. This symbiosis makes the calendar a small power source for anyone seeking to stand in deeper contact with both the rhythms of the earth and the sacred in time.
The Creators' Vision and Artistic Expression

Håkaby Behind this unique work stands Gunnar Steinholm, a dedicated and experienced ceremony leader in Sjamanistisk Forbund, known for his warmth, expertise and ability to lead people into deeper spiritual experiences. With his background as a course leader and hypnotherapist, he weaves in an understanding of both shamanic practice and psychological insight, giving the calendar a deep resonance and meaning.
The images that adorn the calendar are created by Gunn-Evy Olafsdatter Håkaby and Margareta F. Orkan, both artists with a distinctive ability to convey the spiritual and the aesthetic in a single stroke. Gunn-Evy's images are known for being vivid and vibrant, creating a visual dialogue with the calendar's spiritual message. Margareta F. Orkan, with her cinematic and poetic eye, adds a depth and intensity that lifts the calendar to a fusion of eye, soul and spirit.
The Meaning of the Holy Days
In Sjamanistisk Forbund, the new moon and full moon are important days for carrying out rituals of renewal and cleansing. The dark moon is marked as a time for rest and calm. The equinox and solstice are seen as points of balance in the cycle of nature, a meeting point between light and darkness.
In the Norse tradition, the holy days are tied to the fixed points of the wheel of the year and to blót, where honor is shown to gods, nature spirits and ancestors. The rhythms that shaped agriculture and a close relationship to nature are also reflected in the calendar. Days such as Torreblot, Slòttublot and Jòl often resonate more deeply in the soul than modern traditions.
In the Wicca tradition the holy days have a magical and season-bound meaning, where rituals are celebrated in step with the cycles of the earth to strengthen the bond between human and nature.
