Anyone else not celebrating any holidays?

[Makko]

Easter, Christmas, saints days, all the regional stuff and so on. Maybe it's because I'm a solo non-western expatriate, but I could never get into the local rituals of this. Whenever a public holiday of any kind rolls around I just see it as an opportunity to rest and do nothing. Totally out of tune with the "festive spirit".

Same here.

 

[Bigpink]

Just normal days for me, they mean nothing

 

[Lmd]

I like to eat the typical dishes of each holiday but I don't celebrate any of them. I wish I could celebrate halloween someday tho.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Depends on the holiday though the most I do for any holiday these days is maybe hang out with friends/family (which I barely did at all last year for obvious reasons).

I guess the only other holiday celebration I do is watch specials or participate in holiday themed events for whatever games I'm playing.

Besides that, it really is the same for me. Just staying at home and relaxing which is pretty much all I do now anyway.

 

[WornOutLife]

Fortunately, I don't have to celebrate any holidays except for Christmas and New Year's Eve.
My parents get really annoying and force me to visit them on those days lol.
Last Christmas was terrible.

 

[Sprite_Geist]

No I hardly celebrate many holidays. I have never really saw the point in them; they come across (personally) as events that people join in on just for the sake of participation, and because that is what the culture that they were raised in dictates.

 

[signifying nothing]

holiday themed events for whatever games I'm playing.

Yep. And need to be aware of shops not being open. That's about it.

I'm thinking about celebrating by sitting at the bus stop

I try to avoid celebrating holidays but a couple of them are important to my old parents.

 

[A Desperate Fool]

My wife invited me to celebrate Christmas with her family before asking me to leave and ghosting me for months and then serving me divorce papers. I used to like Christmas, but I do not intend on celebrating anything again. Ever.

So witchcraft was indeed the answer all along?

Savage. Did she ask you to leave because of an argument or was she setting you up for this from the start?

Once watched a documentary which mentioned Samhain (origin of Halloween). Druids may have used the occasion for human sacrifice. Supposedly their victims were Celtic nobility, based on preserved corpses recovered from bogs. My guess for their reasoning is noble blood = more divine grace points?

Now we're talking business. How do I join this celebration? I know some noble types that I could get us... in contact with.

Savage is right. No argument. I had fun with her siblings and felt a connection with her dad (I lost my own dad last year). We played board games and pool. She always insisted on us being on the same team because "the [last name redacted]s come as a package!" We woke up from a nap together and she told me to leave.

Now not only savage but also bizarre. If this is all you know, there's a lot to this she's not telling you.

She's a serial cheater. (It runs in her family.) I'm certain that's what's going on. She was sometimes mentally abusive and gaslighted me and threatened me with knives during arguments and told me she was glad that my dad passed. But 95% of the time she was sweet and supportive and wrote me cute love notes and made me laugh and told me I had a nice butt. I don't know. It's all been very confusing. I have trust issues and PTSD now that I don't want to bring into a new relationship. I'm ruined. And tortured by constant reminders of her.

I have a self-proclaimed sorcerer friend who just randomly pops into my life every month or so. He told me I should never get involved with Druidic deities. This was before we even had the chance to start drinking.. Apparently these deities are strong in the ways of fulfilling specific requests but the price is steep. Leave your soul at the door kind of business. Then again I've also heard similar things about Roman gods' cults that are still around.

The island of Albion is the place to go for magick overall. 20th century England had one oddly active occult life. For druids, I guess I'd start looking in Ireland? It's been some centuries after the Romans genocided most of the druid caste. If I recall correctly what little knowledge remains of druids is from Roman sources ironically enough.

I am ready to raid the Knights Templar library with you to search for clues. This is a joke. Don't crucify me upside down cultist fellows. Not yet.

I'm one step away from getting into it. I'm a bit sad that current witchcraft is more of being an idiot instead of dark rituals and nasty stuff.

I know the nasty stuff is out there somewhere and I'm still looking for it. I'll let you know if I find it. There'll be much to celebrate.

I know people who do rituals but I don't think they follow anything specific. It seems that one day they said "let's slaughter this chicken" and they just did it, so I'm counting on you.

There is only one witch:

"Key of Solomon" has 'information' on summoning demons. It was probably written around the 14th century and seems to be very popular still. I doubt it's considered 'witchcraft' unless used as a synonym for 'heresy'.

Witchcraft practices or beliefs of yore seem like a nightmare to track down or define exactly.

I don't think getting into occult circles is great for anyone without nerves of steel.

 

[GenesAndEnvironment]

I am unable to celebrate anything.
