Below is a list of holidays generally celebrated by the Magical world. Each are given a description of the traditions and aesthetic, as well as examples of modern human holidays around the same yearly time.
February 1 | aka Imbolc Dee-eh poo-rah
Die Pura is a time of planning and purification. It is the day when magical beings hope for a future and tend to plan out the goals they want to achieve for the year. Many clean their homes and leave out an article of clothing or fabric for the Deas or Deus of Clarity to bless as she passes through the sky. While not as many beings believe in the Deas’ existence, there are some who believe that there is a Titled Deas or Deus of Clarity. Since they only announce their presence in the dead of night and cloaked, their identity is hidden. Many believe that any wish made after bathing in purified water or planting a seed will come true.
