Hi, Sanctum,

Just so you know, I've moved this from 'Pagan Events and Conferences' (which is for upcoming conferences, conventions, meetups, Pagan Pride Days, and other events people might be planning on attending) to 'Holidays and Festivals'.

Interesting. I had never heard of it. Are you from an area where it is commonly celebrated?

It's a Slavic pagan thing, so I'm guessing that's why the familiarity.
