July: 7th of July, Fri’s day, is celebrated by bonfires and festivities. Often couples may feel inclined to show more passion towards each other.
August: 8th of August, Cha’s day, is celebrated by going out in nature, running races and dressing in clothes not usually worn by your gender. This is also a day that many people choose to come out as LGBTQ+, as Cha is the guardian of that community.
September: 9th of September, Vene’s day, is celebrated by spellcraft and rituals, as well as individual prayer. This is the day for getting closer to the Deus, and reaching out to them for guidance and support.
October: No festivals.

December: The 31st of December is celebrated as Mera’s day, a day when gifts are given and mothers are appreciated. People dress in dark clothes and appreciate the duality and balance in life, both life and death, light and darkness. Star gazing is popular on this date, as the stars are said to be Mera’s many eyes watching over us and protecting us amidst the night. As this is the end of the year, things are prepared for the next day, for Mor’s day.
