" i wanna take the long way home "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
trying to usher in some interest -- bringing in some celtic traditions. this is a celebration of st. brigid, also known as celebrating the beginning of warmer days. it takes place around the end of january and beginning of february. as far as i can gather, there is a fire lit on the night of the celebration, certain crosses are made from straw and dollies are made by little girls and unpartnered women. here's a link to the explanation? //

I am aware it's being celebrated early but, maybe there will be some activity in the end for it haha ////
finnloch sat out among the bushes at the foot of sunhaven's mountain, the small femme collecting branches and twigs to start a fire. she was bringing a tradition from her people, to the groups. it was to usher in the beginning of warmer days and springtime, to celebrate new life in all sorts of ways. brushing aside grass and weeds, she finished up her work on collecting twigs, enough to satisfy a small fire.
heading back towards town and her home, she would drop off the twigs before going out to gather more. when content with the amount of firewood, the russian blue would wander down to the seaside and the beach. setting up rings of stones, she would set the twigs in small stands in the sand, heads pointed together.
huffing, she would head back into town to wait, gathering foods and treats for those who would come by to celebrate a personal tradition with her. she had gone as far as to invite the typhoon, to encourage some activity between the groups. they had no alter to burn offerings upon or to light a fire for brigid, the saint her people would celebrate. and so, in a foreign place, with new people, she would mingle the celebration's traditions. traditionally, women and children were to make dollies and stay up with them, trading stories and the like, while the men and boys would come by and be nice to the women and girls. but now, everyone was allowed to make these dolls of straw and stay up, guarding them as if they were their own youth.
