Recipe for Carolyn's Holiday Fruit Bread This moist, simple-to-make bread is made with applesauce, raisins, and walnuts. Its origins are in Victorian England, where it was customary to incorporate leftover canned fruit into Christmas breads at the end of the year. Additionally, it's the ideal Christmas present. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 cup black raisins, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 cups applesauce, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup butter melted, 1 cup quick cooking oats

✧.*Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays*.✧

✧.*-----------------------------------------------------------------------*.✧

I was thinking about how Christmas would work in the Cotl universe. So what I've got so far is a celebration for winter solstice, it's a day to bring light in the darkest time, things like decorating, feasting and gift giving, pretty standard Christmas traditions.

However one of the traditions I've come up with is the yuletide fairy (basically this universes Father Christmas).

Originally the night before the winter solstice one of the lambs followers would leave sweets and treats for the cults children outside their tents. But this follower eventually died and asked the lamb continue the tradition and wear their skull while doing it, so they in a way can continue the tradition.

As a result the character of the yuletide fairy was born, the story being that the spirit of this follower returns for 1 night a year to bring joy.

in reality each year the lamb dresses up for this wearing the skull, a crown of green and ties bells to their cape that let people know their outside. Gifts include sweet breads, candied fruits, nuts and sweets.

Bonus:

Looking at pics of candied oranges made me super crave them so I made my own. They're a bit more tangy than I like, I was hoping for more crystalline type Stuff, but it's alright

[templeofelysium]

some ancient greek holidays

these holidays follow the lunar/athenian calendar, so I will either be providing the moon phase or Athenian date and the corresponding Gregorian months. also this is pretty obvious but these are just very general descriptions of these holidays, to give you an idea of which you think you'd like to practice. no one is forcing you to do every single one of these, nor is it expected. do whatever works for you.

if there's anything you think I should add, let me know

HEKATE'S DEIPNON

when: during the new moon phase purpose: honor Hekate and the souls of the restless dead, cleanse self and home activities: a meal set out at Hekate's altar (often including garlic, raw eggs, cake, leeks/onions, or fish), a sacrifice (usually of an animal, but it can be your choice), and burning of incense and/or cleaning house as purification deities honored: Hekate, the dead

NOUMENIA

when: the first day a sliver of the moon can be seen purpose: a day of rest and feasting activities: offer frankincense, flower garlands, wine, and barley cakes on the altars that had been cleaned the day before deities honored: household gods like Hestia, Hermes, Hekate and Zeus, celestial deities like Apollo and Artemis, or personal protective deities (like Athena was for Athens)

AGATHOS DAIMON

when: the day after Noumenia purpose: it's personal to each family but is often a ritual to honor the intermediary(ies) between mortals and gods, and to ask for things like good luck or protection activities: wine/other libations, offerings placed on an altar personal to the Agathos Daimon which can include incense, food, and things related to snakes deities honored: deities commonly associated with snakes, like Dionysus and Hermes, as well as the goddess of luck, Tyche, and Zeus, who is often called Agathos Daimon
