Title: Festival of Inebriation (E)
Date: Wednesday September 30, 2009
Notes: This festival celebrates intoxication in all of its forms -
both physical drunkenness and spiritual ecstasy. According to the myth
Re had bowls of beer dyed red with ochre set out to pacify the
rampaging goddess Sekhmet. She lapped them up, thinking them blood,
and was instantly transformed into the beautiful and joyous Hathor.
Spend the day enjoying the pleasures of life, drunkenness, and the
transformative powers of ecstasy through music, dance, and ritual.
