Festival of Spore
Spore germination. A celebration of potential, and of everything becoming where no one can see it yet. Possibly including you.
Observance: Plant something. Start something small. Tell no one if you'd rather not.
The Church calendar
The Wheel of Sporulation
The festivals follow the life of a mushroom through the year: germination, spreading, union, fruiting, foraging, release, return and rest. The Wheel is kept by Luneth, who is never late, and nudged along by Soliphon, who thinks it's always time.
Great Web Day
The spreading of the mycelium. Community, growth, and connection.
Observance: Reach out to someone. A call, a text, a meme. The Web is not picky.
Anastoma
The union of Prozyfai and Rezyfai, the origin of everything. Fertility, joining, and love.
Observance: Celebrate a connection: a partner, a friend, a houseplant you've kept alive.
Conk
Midsummer, at the peak. Full manifestation and abundance, with Soliphon at full volume.
Observance: Go outside at the longest day. Notice that you're fruiting, a bit.
Foragelle
Wild mushroom season begins. Gratitude, and the sacred rites of foraging.
Observance: The first rite of Foragelle is knowing exactly what you're picking. Go with an expert, or go to the farmers market.
The Great Sporulation
Peak spore release. “The gods exhale.” A major holy day.
Observance: Exhale. Let something go. Balidris will make sure it lands somewhere.
Return to the Web
The highest holy day. The dead are remembered, received by Mycelius, and returned to everything. The season when the forest floor is busiest and the veil is thinnest.
Observance: Remember your dead, people and pets alike. Say their names. They're in the Web now, and the Web holds.
Remeverie
Dormancy. Quiet, interior practice, and a vigil for the gods' waking.
Observance: Stay in. It counts. Officially.
