Mardi Gras is Pagan too!

Carnival Season has deep roots originating from Paganism.

Historian Arthur Hardy says;
"Many see a relationship to the ancient tribal rituals of fertility that welcomed the arrival of Spring. A possible ancestor of the celebration was the Lupercalia, a circus-like orgy held in mid-February in Rome. The early Church fathers, realizing that it was impossible to divorce their new converts from their pagan customs, decided instead to direct them into Christian channels. Thus Carnival was created as a period of merriment that would serve as a prelude to the penitential season of Lent."

They would not have painted over this, or any of our festivals or holidays if they knew they could end them!

We Pagans are stubborn!

So go out there and celebrate your Pagan traditions!

This was one of the many times of the year we historically held equally elaborate festivals and celebrations, and our history echos down through the generations to this modern day.

Even in the many Parades, a multitude of Pagan Gods and Goddesses are venerated and elaborately celebrated!

It is ok to take our traditions back!

Also, feel free to indulge in a Pączki or a King's Cake!

Be safe!

Light, Love, and Blessings to all!

Pursue what is right.

Listen to the Gods and Goddesses, listen to nature.

If it does not bring harmony, pay attention and learn.

Doing what is right is not always the path of least resistance, doing what is right will not always be comfortable.

Try to aspire kindness on the road, listen to opposing views and grow.
