I’m simply sharing there is more to it than material considerations. The holidays weren’t selected to have convenient days to plant or plan. My perceptions are still very limited, but even I can detect differences in consciousness depending on time of year. Holidays were set up by mystics understanding of cycles and forces not city planners. They were a time to share mystery dramas, do ritual magic, and interact with higher worlds in a way less accessible on other days.

You didn’t call on anyone to change their traditions. However I am calling on those who know or are learning, to modify their expressions of those holidays as they learn. I’ve got a lot of planning to do to get ready for the 12 holy nights. January 6 (Joan of Arc birthday) is a pretty special day for initiation. I don’t see mass meditation being practiced that day.

So I plan to focus on the reclamation of important days rather than why they got messed up. Hopefully next fall equinox I can do more than meditate in the park for a couple hours. The popular celebration is pumpkin spice latte at a carnival or pumpkin patch. We can do better.
