My birthday is very special. Look what it had to say. The summer solstice falls on June 21. This is the longest day of the year. The summer solstice is one of the four minor sabbats (holy days) celebrated by witches and Wiccans. It is also known as Feill-Sheathain or Alban Hefin. On the solstice, Druids gather mistletoe from apple trees to celebrate love. They light bonfires of oak to honor the goddess of the hearth, and use the ashes from the fire as a magical fertilizer to ensure a good crop. Also, consuming ale and eating the buds of Ash trees on the solstice is supposed to protect you from evil - and possibly make you a little loopy. The 21st is an ideal day for making a ritual wand, for conducting healing spells, and for divination. And, the summer solstice is also a perfect time for a handfasting ceremony - which is probably why today's brides still want a June wedding.

mine is october 21st and mine is (b) October - To some, October is more than a month, it is a state of being, a place. It is "that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain." - Ray Bradbury, The October Country. The eighth month (octo) of the Roman calendar, the tenth month of our calendar, and last month of the witches' year, October dissolves into faerie dust on Halloween and the veils between the world part. The astrological signs of Libra and Scorpio share October, and the month is sacred to Hecate, Cernunnos, Osiris, and the Witches' Goddess in her dark aspect as the Crone

September 29th:

September 29 is Michaelmas, a festival in honor of the Archangel Michael, who is an angel of judgment. Also on this day, according to English folklore, the devil fell from heaven and landed on a blackberry bush. Because the thorny bush caused him a pain in the behind, he cursed the berries. So, don't eat them after the 29th!

How freaking cool is that?!

The evening of January 5th is Twelfth Night or "old" Christmas. It marks the end of Christmastide and is often celebrated with parties, singing, and a delightful hot beverage called "wassail."

Well, I know my birthday is EXTREMELY interesting, seeing as it's Britan's Halloween.

"Remember Remember the fifth of November" Guy Haukes (sp?) Day.

So what would that mean?
