I'm glad to hear it's not a cookie-cutter setup :D
I don't know much about Pagan rituals, but I like the general ideology behind them (except for maybe polyamory, but I'm not sure how closely that is tied to actual Pagan philosophy).

No conventions because I am with at workaholics anonymous, and I am too anal to leave my animal-children in anyone else's care :(
Maybe when my family finally buys a farm, I will get a real vacation. Y'all better still be having HP conventions then!
