00:00:00.000minutes behind but wondering why we do not celebrate sigur bloat tonight the full moon in
00:00:06.240april um you're welcome go ahead it's fun oh in april yeah so i was going to say um by all means
00:00:16.320you're welcome to do that if you'd like the reason that the afa doesn't do that is a couple of things
00:00:23.600so first there are a number of our holy days that are based on that are based on nature
00:00:34.880um you know the equinox happen when the equinox happens uh the the solstices happen when the
00:00:41.600solstices happen but there's other of our celebrations that aren't so tied to a natural
00:00:51.680cycle and sigurbloat was one of those it was celebrated in a particular time the attestation
00:00:58.880that we have is is during the viking age where um this is the time of year where stuff is thought
00:01:06.720enough that they could go and start mounting their uh their raids for raiding season and uh
00:01:14.800And that was a very specific to a certain geographical instance as opposed to to a larger, you know, a larger natural truth. But the truth of that was to celebrate a to have a celebration to celebrate victory to beseech the gods to bless them with victory, and to to instill victory amongst the folk by sharing in a in a communal context.
00:01:44.800And that's something that we do still do as the Astro Folk Assembly, but we've chosen to do that in July.
