Paganfest

[den]

Celebrating on a date set as the first Friday after the first full moon after the northern autumnal Equinox sounds like a pagan festival date to me. I upset a Christian friend today by calling Easter "a paganfest." "Don't you celebrate our Lord's sacrifice?" Well, I thought the whole point of the bread and wine thing was to remember that every week.

Anyway


I heard a rumour that a company was producing chocolate easter Wombats, but I couldn't find any in the shops. Bugger. I'll just have to settle for easter bilbies.

I've gotten that question from poeple, too. I've replied several ways, but especially with this: "No, I celebrate the dawning of the Oak King's fertility and the reunion of Lord and Lady in the full flower of their union. I celebrate the planting of the seeds, signifying both human life renewed and human life preserved by the continuation of our agricultural ways. In other words, I celebrate the same thing you do, only I do it the older way without all the slavery imagery you're talking about."
