Now that the Samhain season has closed and we relax before Yule I have begun to wonder exactly how important the ancestral sabbat is to each person. I mean it seems that some Pagan faiths place more emphasis on honoring the ancestors than other groups do, so it made me wonder:
Does your path practice ancestral veneration?

I worship my ancestral spirits daily as well as other spirits. I don't celebrate Samhain though or anything like that, partially because I don't worship the spirits like some other religions do? Either way, the Romans didn't have a holiday for that.
October was the ending of military season. Holidays they DID have around this time was Meditrinalia which was in celebration of the harvest, mainly of the new wine where they mixed the old in with the new to drink. Fontinalia, which was in tribute to Fontus, the water God. And Armilvstrivm, which was a festival in honor of Mars and it went along with the ending of the military season. There was also the Lvdi Victoriae Sullana which were Roman games and festivals (bread and circuses). Unless killing people went along with the worship of ancestors..which it basically does lol.
