Hornswoggle Eve
This festival celebrates those who have passed away over the long year. The spirits of family and friends are invited to walk among the living on this night. During this festival children are encouraged to prank each other to entertain the spirits, which is where the festivals name comes from.
Seasonal vegetables are carved and filled with spores from the ----- Fungus, to give nature an offering of food, and in return the fungus produces an intense green light. This causes many folk to believe they have appeased the spirits of nature and are being rewarded with this special light.
There are also elements of preparation for winter in this festival, traditionally making preserves, pies, salted meats, and pickling vegetables.
Selenius is the Spirit associated with this fesitival, and many leave offerings, such as baked tarts, and salted meat, in the hopes that Selenius will aid them through winter.
