Is Halloween a religious holiday for anybody else on SW? [Spirituality & Religion]

As Samhain is a holiday for my goddess, the night of the 31st and the day of the 1st of November are holy to me, as well as being fun. Will anybody else be conducting rites that night?

@CopperCicada I kneel before Morrigan Battlecrow, Chooser of the Slain, but I also make libations to Tyr and Perun.

@RemovedUsername8862 so celtic and norse pantheon?

@CopperCicada And Slavic. I don't tend to tie myself to the full pantheons, but I find gods from pantheons my ancestors worship who resonate with me. In the case of the Morrigan, I was directly called by her - but in order to represent other sides of my personality, I also picked up worship of the other two gods as lesser patrons.

@RemovedUsername8862 ok. perun must be slavic then. couldn't place that one.

@CopperCicada Ayup. Are you also a follower of the Old Gods?

CopperCicada · M

@RemovedUsername8862 nope. just know about them from various things for various reasons.

@CopperCicada Fair enough. It is amazing how many pop culture franchises seem to be reminding the general public of the old ways.

@RemovedUsername8862 that is not know i know about these things-- pop culture.

@CopperCicada My apologies, I wasn't trying to imply that. I was just commenting on how it seems that you can't wave an athame without hitting five "revamped" myths or legends.

@RemovedUsername8862 sure. it's a pain in the ass i think to people who take these things seriously...

@CopperCicada I'll admit that I wince whenever I see "Thor" in a Marvel movie. Such a bastardization of the Eddas.
