The longest days of the year.

The longest days of the year. | Summer Solstice, Litha & Alban Heruin: June 20th - 23rd. A time associated with deities such as Greek Goddess of growth Auxo, & Iranian Rapithwin; also sun Gods in general, including Apollo, Aztec Huitzilopochtli, & Egyptian Ra. For the Celts, St. John's wort is a symbol of the summer Solstice, & because of its yellow color, emblematic of the sun. It's the time when the Oak King reigns. Monuments such as the Bighorn Medicine Wheel & Stonehenge are oriented to the Solstice. | image tagged in slavic summer solstice,holiday,traditions,pagan,heathen | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Easter Monday, or my last chance Easter meme this year.

Easter Monday, or my last chance Easter meme this year. | Easter, or Ostara, is a Pagan Goddess of spring and fertility, celebrated around the time of the Spring Equinox. Because rebirth is a recurrent motif in many Pagan religions, the death and resurrection of Christ could be forced into an already existing theme. Easter is the root of the word estrogen, the female hormone, and the egg 🥚, as a powerful symbol of potential new life, is celebrated at Easter in the eggs given to children. In Russia, the egg takes the form of Pysanka, delicately painted hard boiled 🐔 eggs. Easter contains the word east, the Germanic Ostara has the same meaning. Her name is also spelled Eostre, which connects Her to Eos or Aurora, the dawn 🌄 Goddess. Rather than the daybreak, She represents spring - the dawn of the year. Lilith ⚸ is a form of Her Middle Eastern counterpart, thus lillies are displayed during Easter. Easter is traditionally celebrated on the Spring Equinox (March 21st). Christians wanted to obscure the origin, so they randomized its date. Now it's the 1st Sunday following the full moon 🌕 after the Equinox. Thus it can occur anytime between March 22nd to April 25th. Yet honoring both the day of the 🌞 & the cycle of the 🌙 still seems pretty Pagan. | image tagged in estradiol tablet 1mg,sun loved moon,pagan,heathen,tradition | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Also spelled Qingming.

Also spelled Qingming. | Ching Ming festival: April 4th. One of the most prominent festivals of the dead (it has an on autumnal counterpart in the Hungry Ghost festival), this is a time for the living to remember their deceased ancestors. As in other days in which the dead are honored, tombs are swept & cleaned, offerings of food are placed out for hungry spirits, & paper cash is burned to provide ancestral ghosts with floating-around money. | image tagged in hell money,holidays,china,pagan,heathen | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Goddess of fertility, love & beauty.

Goddess of fertility, love & beauty. | Veneralia on April 1 was the holiday honoring the Goddess Venus. It has no apparent connection to April Fools Day. The energy once poured into this holiday probably now informs Valentine's Day. | image tagged in venus de milo figurine,pagan,heathen,romans | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
