Here at COFF, we celebrate an eight-spoked Wheel of the Year, and we employ Old Irish names for all our Solar/Earth Festivals. A few of the reasons why we don’t use the “standard” Wiccan Wheel of the Year at COFF is because: (1) Féth Fíadans aren’t Wiccans; (2) the names of the Wiccan Sabbats are an admixture of Irish (Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh, and Samhain), Welsh (Mabon), and Anglo-Saxon (Ostara, Litha, Yule); and (3) the God Mabon has no genuine historical claim to any Autumn Equinox tradition whatsoever. Rather, he is usually seen by Celtic scholars as being associated with either one or both of the solstices.

Yesterday was my birthday. Because I’m a Pisces (so still believe in folklore and fairytales, no matter how old I am!), I chose to have a mermaid birthday cake (marbled) with ice cream (both chocolate and vanilla), along with supper and a small celebration with my family.
The lowly knot is, in reality, taken for granted. We knot our shoes, a garbage bag, a paper bundle for recycling, and even a package. We are using a knot just for utilitarian purposes, not realizing how much more a knot can actually do.
