Wep Ronpet 2015
« on: July 29, 2015, 10:40:57 pm »
For anyone who wants to know: I calculated Wep Ronpet to be (at least in Minnesota) August 14th.

Here's to hoping I don't procrastinate on planning >.<

Well, you've got the latest date so you have the most time; my attempt at a location-neutral one comes out to the 11th and apparently HON's calculations come out to the fifth!

I was discussing this with Veggie and Juni recently - how for a religion that should be focused on community, it's kind of messed up to have a situation where you cannot agree on a date for your major festivals because geography. Some community-focused religion, that can't get its community to celebrate its festivals together.

*nods*

So many things go back to calendar nonsense...but I wonder if we couldn't put something together that recalculates each year based on a central location, at least until the Kiya Calendar becomes the standard?

Cairo?  The middle of the Atlantic Ocean?  Greenland?

That looks a lot like work. ;)

For the record, my location-neutral one is now calculated this way:

* find the closest approach of Sirius and the sun
* add 35 days

with bonus points of:
* discover that the closest approach of Sirius and the sun coincides with Aset Luminous
* swear a lot

and

* idly check notes to see if there's anything 35 days before that that's interesting and discover a festival listed as associated with the end of the year and relevant to, IIRC, Nit
* swear a lot

The thirty-five days bit derives, for the record, from the 70 mythological days of the disappearance of Sirius / 70 days of mummification.

The relevant approach for this year was calculated by an actual astronomer for me on a lark and should remain as consistent as solstice/equinox timing, so it is totally legit to say fuckit and standardise as far as I'm concerned.  At some point I will figure out which two days it wavers between mostly for my own curiosity.

I opted to follow the Kiya Calendar, because I lack the spoons to figure out my own location (although I reckon it's probably close to yours, Net).

Next step is to find my resources on How To Wep Ronpet because I Forgot How To Wep Ronpet.

I try to make bread, myself.  There have been times I've gone out to sing up the sun.

I'm probably going to sing up the sun this year - nothing like a dark and early Saturday morning.

I just checked and mine falls on a Tuesday; looks like this is something I CAN do (aside from attempting bread-making!), as I realized I can't do baths at the moment.

Offerings of flame, incense, and cool water were put out for Wesir tonight, and I also realized I really lack a proper place to put household offerings. This is a thing to be rectified.

For me, it's on the 18th, which is a tuesday. I just need to work out what I'm going to do, because this would be my first time celebrating Wep Ronpet.
