Liam O'Mara IV, PhDThe first #Saturnalia festival in #AncientRome, a week-long celebration of #Saturn that reversed social norms, began on #ThisDayInHistory in 497 BCE. As usual I am buried in grading coursework, but soon the festivities will begin, for it is #IoSaturnalia, not #HappyHolidays! 😉

Erotic Mythology 🌹Io Saturnalia!
On 17 December, the Romans attended a public ritual and sacrifice at the Temple of Saturnus, followed by a public banquet. It was a holiday from all forms of work: Schools were closed and courts were not in session, so nobody could receive punishment and no declaration of war could be made. After the public rituals, observances continued at home.

Ted Kaiser 💚🌲🌳💚Happy Alban Arthan! Here in Threshold Forest, in the northern hemisphere, the #winter #solstice is the time when the sun appears the lowest in the sky and days are shortest. Druids celebrate the return of the Divine Child, the Mabon, the rebirth of the Sun, and increasing light. The Wheel of the Year cycles past death and towards new life. #wintersolstice #newyear #Yule #IoSaturnalia #nature #forest #natureconnection #naturephotography #landscapephotography #photography #pagan #animism @animism
