## The Basics

The most basic use of this wiki is twofold:

1. Upload images of natural phenomena
2. Categorize images according to a standardized calendar

The power of this wiki is that with enough data, Burnaby Pagan Archives may begin to detect and predict patterns of natural phenomena according to the standardized calendar.

## Natural Phenomena

Burnaby Pagan Archives is interested in the following categories of natural phenomena:

1. Weather (rain, hail, snow, frost, wildfire, fog)
2. Plants (species breaking ground, species leafing, species flowering, species fruiting, species dispersing, species dropping leaves)
3. Animals (species being active, species mating, species childbearing, species dying)
4. Compost (adding greens, adding browns, watering, drying, resting, turning)

To contribute to the Burnaby Pagan Archives image archive, please follow the guidelines outlined in the Image Upload Guidelines page. All images must be labelled according to convention; given a simple description; given text tags; and assigned categories. Details are on the Image Upload Guidelines page. ***All images must be taken in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, and they must be your original photo!!!***

It is impossible to correctly add images to the archive without calculating the Solar Day, as explained in the following section.

## Standardized Calendar

Pagans follow a variety of calendars, including druidic calendars in addition to the Gregorian calendar. To avoid confusion, all images will be arranged according to the Solar Day, which is the numbers of days after the Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice is Day 1, and the day of the image is included in the count. For an example of important solar days, please see Solar Year 2022-2023.

For your convenience, please use the duration calculator available at TimeandDate.com. Please make sure to set the starting date to Dec. 21 and the ending day to the date of your image. ***Please include the ending date in the calculation.*** See the image below for an example.
## Our Progress So Far
