It's time for May Day / Beltane / Walpurgisnacht.

Will you join the fae around a bonfire in a pagan celbration?

Adorable. I just want to cuddle with them. In a semi-lewd way.

I wonder how much of a correspondence there really is between the yousei and the European fairy folk.

(And I usually show up for the Morris Dancing at dawn at May Day, but maybe not this year.)

Why are all modern holidays based on old pagan celebrations? Tomorrow it's worker's day and for a day based on godless ideologies it sure is close to a religious festival.

They seem to be fairy in-line with Western fairy traditions: They are sentient embodiments of various facets of nature and may be perceived by humans as "benign" or "malign" depending on what they do, though are truly not "good" or "evil" and just do what they do because that's their very literal nature.

Well, that's how many came to be. Christmas and Easter, for example, are instances of the early Christian church merging pagan traditions with church dogma to win over converts (appealing to, as opposed to condemning).

>Workers' Day is a national public holiday in South Africa and since 1994, it has been celebrated on 1 May of each year. It has its origins within the historical struggles of workers and their trade unions internationally for solidarity between working people in their struggles to win fair employment standards and more importantly, to establish a culture of human and worker rights and to ensure that these are enshrined in international law and the national law of those countries aligned to the International Labour Organisation. In pre-1994 South Africa, the demand for the annual observance of the day as a public holiday became a rallying point for workers and their trade unions and was one of a number of annually significant days to symbolise and mobilise resistance to the Apartheid government and its racial policies.

It's a commie thing too and that doesn't answer my question.
