Saturnalia

Post by SapphireRoad »

So today's supposed to be the Saturnalia feast.

Perhaps the date is not accurate according to the Julian calendar as it used to be, but I think many are celebrating today thence the power accumulated is appropriate.

What is your opinion on this feast?

Blessed be.

Never heard of it, what's it about if you don't mind my asking?

Gee it seems anything with Saturn gets tricky. Unchecked celebration sounds like the original Star Trek episode on the same thing - a usually stoic society threw off their restraints one day a year. I think AI (artificial intelligence) was behind it. Well, it seems to always end badly for the meeker beings.

Yes, but if you look at the statue of Chronos/Saturn the God actually looks good and reassuring.

Well last 2 days been with Sun conjunct Scoprio's sting, probably the worst two days of my year... I've got to wait post Yule to see if there's some light... or hope, or whatever.

The chaos before the calm? The Lord of misrule in force at this time!
It could be a good time for letting ones hair down and getting the last years energy out of your system, before the quiet of the longest night. :fairy:
