A story about an ancient mysterious art museum and its owner— a witch who lives in the painting ms has an immortal spirit.

The gate of the art gallery, which is as solemn as a medieval castle, is closed, and there is no light in the window.

It seems to appear overnight.

Does Lumerde have any holidays like Nightmare Night?

Novi sent by @splungecoyote and @briarborealisart

In LHK, we have a week-long event called the Spirits Risen Festival. I'll put all of the information about it below the cut, if anyone wants to know all about it! It starts on the 24th of October and ends on the 31st. October 31st is called Spirit's Eve. Of course, at the end will be a TL;DR rundown of events and practices, but I highly recommend reading as much as you can.

🔓 The Spirits Risen Festival will take place from October 24th to October 31st. Any events pertaining to the Spirits Risen Festival, Nightmare Night, or Halloween will be answered during this window. Stay tuned for more event information! -Mod Doe <3

The History

Haustonne

Haustonne was the first created of these traditions. Each year, during the last week of harvest (now established from October 24th to October 31st), ponies would celebrate their bounty through festivals.

The first day is a day of work, where every pony would gather together and assist farmers with collecting their crops. The second day, new crops are planted to hibernate during winter and begin their blossoming through spring. On the third day, the crops would be sold or traded throughout the village (and neighboring villages) and food not being used for the feast would be preserved. The fourth day was a day of rest, where ponies were able to lounge and relax themselves.

The fifth day was spent on more work, preparing food for the upcoming feasts. The sixth day was a small feast, where ponies would eat with and appreciate their families. On the seventh day, ponies would spend partying and feasting together while thanking their respective deities for good weather. This deity depends on each village, of course, with many thanking Hestia, Solaris, and the stars themselves. However, a select few gave their thanks to Astraea, Celeste, other asterin/deities, or no one at all.

On the seventh day, because it was held later in the night with food outside, would attract many critters looking for food to steal for the upcoming winter. Many ponies took to dressing in costumes to the festival so they could scare away the animals and protect their food.

Spirits Risen Day

Spirits Risen Day was a tradition started in the 12th century. During the autumn months, foals were very easily frightened during the night due to the falling leaves and dropping temperatures. To ease their foals, a village previously called Sunrise (now known as Rosewood) took to celebrating death and spirits during the last day of Haustonne. This eased their foals’ fears, and taught them to respect the ponies who passed before them.

Some ponies from a neighboring village, Bellen (modern day Belleside), took a different approach. On the last day of Haustonne, they would dress as animal-like monsters to scare their foals in bed before quickly removing any masks to reveal themselves. This turned the scare into a fun game for some foals, but a worsening effect for others.

These two traditions meshed, with the sixth day of Haustonne becoming Ancestor’s day, and the seventh becoming Spirits Risen Day. As a compromise, rather than scaring the foals in bed, they would take to spooking them during the party itself where energy was already high, while comforting the foals once the party ends. These practices spread throughout the kingdom, and eventually the entire nation.

Modern Day Practices

Spirits Risen Festival

The Spirits Risen Festival is a traditional autumn festival, celebrated throughout the Lunar Heavens Kingdom for generations. Each year, every city and town opens a Spirits Risen market. These markets are open to the public, where anyone can hold a stand. This is a very profitable period for small businesses and farmers, with sales skyrocketing in the market. Many vendors choose to also offer costume material, toys, trinkets, and generally spooky, death-related merchandise.

Larger cities will also open a carnival, with more merchandise, rides, games, and food. The admission prices vary, but the first day is always free admission. Attractions are geared towards the fear factor, and many young foals are turned away from larger, scarier attractions. It’s also common for “scare actors” to wander around after sunset and frighten attendees.

Ancestor's Day and Spirit's Eve

Feasting is still a factor, with Ancestor’s Day landing on October 30th. However, more focus is usually centered around Spirit’s Eve on the 31st, where foals (and sometimes older ponies) are off critter crawling.

The purpose of critter crawling was originally to mimic the animals on the last day of Haustonne. Ponies dress as animals (or any other costume of their choosing) and go door-to-door, visiting anyone with decorated doorways. They knock on the door, and demand the resident’s harvest. The phrase depends on location, but the most popular are, “Critters are here!” and, “Share the feast with hungry beasts!” (shortened to “share the feast”).

Residents have two options: they can either give the crawlers some of their candy, or “scare them away.” Many who participate have taken to preparing a haunted-house experience to scare the crawlers away, and others have widened their array of “harvest” options. Doorway decorations have evolved to be coded for more experienced foals-or foals whose parents tell them. A door with spider webs usually means a scare (if the spider webs have fake spiders and bugs in them, it means intense scare), and a door with pomegranates (a fruit symbolizing death, fertility, and linked to Hestia as her favorite fruit) meant treats. Different fruit colors have more recently been thrown into circulation, with red pomegranates being normal treats and black pomegranates being treats safe for all ponies to eat (or non-food treats).

November 2nd is a national holiday, known as “Spirits Sunset,” for rest after the festivities and cleanup. Festivities tend to bleed over to November 1st, due to the fact that many Spirit's Eve events take place past midnight.

Last minute Samhain

Those pesky pixies are insisting on being included in my Samhain preparations, but they seem to be enjoying themselves so who am I to complain?

Samhain (along with Yule) is simultaneously the most observed and most ignored of all the stops on the wheel of the year. Halloween is a massive commercial entity and cultural touchstone, but that doesn't mean it's the same thing as Samhain. You can celebrate Halloween without celebrating Samhain (and vice versa) or of course you can celebrate both!

What if you want to add some simple ways to mark Samhain to your day, but you don't know much about it? Read on for a couple of ideas...

Samhain is the gaelic languages (remember, gaelic =/= automatically equal celtic; in Welsh 31st October is called Nos Galan Gaeaf and Welsh is an even more ancient language than the gaelic languages) name for the festival that marks the celtic new year.

A central part of the festival was the belief that this time (along with its polar opposite festival, Beltane) the veil between this world and the otherworld was at its thinnest. It was a time to connect with the "good spirits" of ancestors as they were at their closest to us, but equally the "bad spirits" were close too. So, the ancestors were to be honoured and welcomed, the bad spirits were to be scared away and in this part the modern festival of Halloween has its root.

Ancestors would be welcomed around the hearth at the centre of the home with some form of depiction or item that belonged to them in order that they could help those living today. The tradition is still a part of many cultures today and is included in almost all neopagan descriptions of samhain celebrations.

Honouring ancestors then is a large part of Samhain, but what if this means nothing to you? Perhaps you're young and haven't lost anyone close to you yet. Perhaps you're happily exploring neopagan spirituality and all your ancestors were very strongly christian. Perhaps your ancestors were horrible racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes etc and you don't want that in your life. Perhaps there's even more reasons why connecting to ancestors isn't something that you feel you can engage with or have any enthusiasm for.

So pick your own ancestors.

'Why not? The belief in ancestors is that they have made us who we are today and, with a little thought, it is easy to think of people from the past who have made us who we are today. What about the author of a favourite book? Why not even one of the characters from that book? This is about choosing for yourself, not having the decisions made for you. Just like we can choose our friends but not our families, we can choose to honour those who have helped to make us who we are today. So, if you don't have ancestors you wish to honour then pick the ones you do want to honour. Be grateful for those authors, artists, world-changers and creatives who make you feel good about yourself. Pick a favourite character who taught you to be a better person. Celebrate who you are!

Samhain is also a new year, so its a good opportunity in the year to try to be better. You never have to wait for a specific date to try and improve, but this is as good a line in the sand as any other. Is there anything you want to differently, or perhaps there's something you want to make better. Samhain is a good time to begin that.

Its the time of the year when the rule of the night over the day becomes longer and longer. Samhain is a good time to embrace that and embrace your night self. Step into the Samhain night (if its safe to do so) and feel the difference in all your senses between the night and the day. There's long nights to come yet, so make friends with the night if you can.

(One quick extra - if you've carved a pumpkin lantern don't just throw it away! Its food that can be easily roasted and pureed and can make some great recipes, so take the time to do a quick search for pumpkin recipes - and especially don't leave your pumpkins out on the ground outside as wildlife like hedgehogs can become very ill from eating them.)

However you're planning to spend your Halloween or mark Samhain this year, I wish you a happy and blessed one that is just how you want it to be.

We've got costumes, and a fun background! With some individual shots as well. I'll be trying my best to draw some more costumes in this style, since I wasn't able to follow through with that comic series.

To @ask-shutter-ghost and @ask-a-grumpy-melon, these three will be my contest entry! I'm not sure if I'm only allowed one entry or multiple, but if it's only one, Doe is my entry. -Mod Doe <3
