Reading the Pueblo Chieftain newspaper in a coffee house on Sunday morning, I turned to the weather/almanac page and learned something new.
The coming weekend marks the ancient Celtic [sic] solar festival of Llamas.
That was a divinely inspired typo.
Given the prevalence of the subspecies dramaticus in the Pagan community, I think we should run with this. Hurray, hurray, it’s Llamas Day.
There’s a llama and alpaca farm down the road from me. But how about this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p33HImJzG90
I . . . don’t know . . . what to say . . . about that video.
Silly, isn’t it?
So, a definite “Yes” vote for Llamas Day! I decree there should be watermelon seed spitting contests – clear evidence of the underground survival of ancient pre-Christian Irish Llamas cultus – and displays of knitting…
Syncretism in action! Celebrate Lammas with Llamas!
