Magna Mater
Magna Mater
April 4, 2020 - April 10, 2020
The six days of the feast of Magna Mater (Great Mother) are primarily an agricultural festival, in which the first grain would be sown in the fields, and the first gardens would be planted. The Great Mother Earth, and her role as the mother of all beings was celebrated in these days, even as farmers busied themselves with getting their fields furrowed and ready for planting.
During these days, make bread, work in your garden, set up a box of herbs in a windowsill, start composting, and walk in the woods. Make an effort, alone and in group ritual, to connect with the natural world and become aware of the web of interdependence that binds you to your local environment and community.

Yuri's Night
Yuri's Night
April 12, 2020
"Poiyeholi!" Let's GO!
Yuri Gagarin was the first human being to break atmosphere and enter space, on April 12, 1961. In 1981 on April 12, the US Space Shuttle first launched. It is a day dedicated to exploring and discovering space.
"Circling the Earth in my orbital spaceship I marveled at the beauty of our planet. People of the world, let us safeguard and enhance this beauty — not destroy it!" — Yuri Gagarin, April 12, 2008.
Poiyeholi, russian for "Let's Go!" Is the traditional greeting and farewell of Yuri's Night. They were the cosmonaut's last words before launch, and the rallying cry of all who wish to go to space. Modern pagans and others who believe in space exploration and colonization are welcome to party and dance in acknowledgement of the first human to get off the rock.

Festival of Ceres
Festival of Ceres
April 12, 2020 - April 20, 2020
Ceres, called Demeter in Greece, was the goddess of the field and harvest. In contrast with Artemis who was goddess of the wild places, Demeter was a deity of cultivated land, and of the food it produced.
Originally this was a time for making bread with what remained of last year's grain, and for making delicate pastries and honey cakes. Recipes like Amish friendship bread and sourdough starters can be spread around during this time, and it is a great time for creating community cookbooks. Spend time today alone and in group ritual talking about food: ways to use it for health and healing, for community growth, and for spiritual nourishment.

Dionysius
Dionysius
April 16, 2020 - April 17, 2020
Dionysius, called Bacchus in ancient Rome, was the god of wine, feasting and celebration. In ancient art, he is often the clown — boogie-ing in formal processions, wearing women's clothing, leaping around and singing. His maenads or bacchante were wild women who went into the mountains and woods at the dark of the moon to perform sensuous, depraved ritual — or so the men of Greece assumed; they never followed. In the cities, the theaters were his temples, where tragedies and comedies were first performed.
Dionysius was a god of drunkenness and altered states, but the Greeks and early Romans alike valued revelry and tipsiness rather than drunken orgy. They watered their wine in order to lengthen the party into the early morning hours. In ritual alone and with others, drink to loosen the tongue for story and laughter, rather than for drunkenness. Hold a play-reading and enjoy food and celebration together.
