Earth's holidays are quite intriguing; I've been reading up on them since people began speaking of Halloween. We don't seem to share most of them, in my whorl, which... well. I find myself uncertain; I sometimes feel so sure that it is the Short-Sun Whorl, and other times, it seems impossible. No mentions of Pas, or his children; and yet ( Read more... )

t is for tartaros, guide us high hierax, curse: affected, feasting phaea, augur + books = otp, tealdeer is a way of life, happy halloween, o grain-bearing echidna, idk my bff the outsider

Do you have a feast of All Hallows in your whorl? Or something very like?

silk_for_calde October 31 2008, 20:02:32 UTC

Not as such; we do dedicate special sacrifices to Echidna and Phaea in the autumn, giving thanks for the harvest, and certainly such people as can afford to feast do, at that time of year... Though this year has been difficult for Viron; there has been little rain. Some people on the Palatine hold masquerades, certainly, but they are not tied to any holiday. I almost wish we did, though; I like the idea of it, I think.

[ooc: fwiw i'm making this up totally. @_@ there's almost nooo info on the calendar/holidays of the Whorl that i can find, ahahaha.]

O, I see. Do you celebrate those who have died? That is the root of this holiday, the feasts of All Souls--All Hallows, that is--and All Saints tomorrow.

[ooc: It's cool. Sorry to put you on the stop like that D:]

There is an idea, as I understand it, that on All Hallow's the dead come closer to the world of the living? It isn't so, for us; our celebrated dead are in Mainframe, to the East. When our loved ones die, we hold funerals, and their Final Sacrifices in the manteion, and certainly we recall them fondly, and often, but there is no holy day chosen for it. It is a wise celebration, though, I believe.
Nor have we saints, in the same fashion; though in many ways, from what little I've read, you might call some of our greater augurs and Theodidacts saints in your whorl... Which to be honest is a thought that unsettles me greatly.

[ooc: o, no worries! ♥ i just always feel bad passing my guesses off as canon, haha. ^^]

You were a great dance, Mister Silk!

Ah, a lot of people have definitely changed since the City, haven't they? Will you be going out tonight?

silk_for_calde October 31 2008, 20:05:21 UTC

Thank you, Hiyori, though I suspect I looked at least a bit foolish. I am glad it went so well, though! That was a dance from your whorl, wasn't it?

I think I will go out-- people have been mentioning all manner of festivities on the Network, and I think I'd like to see, even if I'm not in costume myself. What are your plans?

doujin_dork October 31 2008, 21:07:09 UTC

Mm, I'm glad you had fun, at least. And yeah, it was. We did it for a school festival at the end of last year.

Well, I'm going to the Host Club, trick-or-treating, maybe playing some games with my friends, and then going to a birthday party!

silk_for_calde November 1 2008, 16:58:24 UTC

It must have taken a great amount of talent and effort to come up with that, and to coordinate it! I'm quite impressed.

I hope you enjoy yourself, Hiyori!
