Wheel of the year
Samhain May 1st Shadow fest (La festa dell' Ombra)
Beginning and ending of the year, our lady descends to seek the understanding of the mystery, death. She meets Dis, Lord of the Underworld,
and is angry at him, for he has taken away what she loves. He tells her that he does not do this, that age and fate robs her of this. He tries to make their time together, until they are reborn, more pleasant. He wins her heart and they come together in a union and share mysteries together.
Remember our ancestors, dress in black and burn patchouly.
Yule June 20-23 Winter Solstice (La festa dell' Inverno)
Goddess gives birth to the new sun god (child of union of shadow fest). The grigori (watchers in Stregheria) come to see the new child, but are suprised to see Janus representing the new child. (Dis and Janus are the two face of the great god). The grigori proceed to the world of man bringing the new lord of the sun. Lupercus once again begins his growth.
Bathe in chamomile, dress in reds and purples. Gather for a fire - it'll be the longest night of the year. The sunrise is the ascent of the sun, as it rises, light a red candle and feast on winter foods.
Yes...there is more coming soon.
