Advent is a season celebrated by most Christian denominations, where they count down the days until the birth of Christ on December 25th. This year, today is the first day and first Sunday of the season Many families have an Advent calendar (they come in all different styles) to help count down the days. Some families have calendars with doors that hide a little present for each day. There is also an Advent wreath used by some denominations, which counts down each week of Advent by lighting a candle each Sunday leading to the 25th. The colors of the candles vary depending on the local custom, but purple is the traditional color of Advent because it's the color of royalty and penance. It's a happy time of year focusing on themes like hope, peace, love, and joy.

Celebrated in honor of the goddess Hathor in the month of Hathor (November), this festival involved music, dancing, and offerings. It was particularly associated with music and dance performances by priestesses in the temples. Modern day Heathens incorporate practices that align with her attributes of love, beauty, music, dance, and feminine power, such as hosting a gathering with music and dance, engaging in self-care rituals like spa treatments, mani/pedi, make-overs, or massages, participating in workshops focused on self-love (whichever definition of that you'd like) and personal empowerment. Essentially, focusing on activities that promote joy, connection, and appreciation for the feminine aspects of life.

Today holds a deep religious and spiritual significance among Hindus. This day is celebrated to commemorate the birth anniversary of Lord Kaal Bhairav. Bhairav is a manifestation of Lord Shiva, fierce and unforgiving, and maintains law and order in Kashi and the world. Devotees sit together and chant to Bhairav in order to get closer to an untapped, extremely powerful energy that is all around us. That energy is the power o Bhairav. They also ask for blessings to overcome fear, adversities and negative energies. It's a time to ask for courage, discipline and growth. When engaging in these rituals, you must let yourself go completely, and feel the power, emotions and energies around you.
