ArchivesRe: Poor Pavlos...
in reply to a message by Gia Nadine
Thanks Nan n Gia :)
I was a bit too harsh on everyone. After all Im the only one in the family to have lived in the US, and cant expect my loved ones in Greece to find meaningfulness in americanisms such a Groundhog day or Fathers day :P
But a bit of nagging and guilt tripping on my part will secure me some extra brownie points hehe :P

No excuses!
You must immediately begin to indoctrinate your family in our ways! I can maybe cut 'em some slack for not knowing about Father's Day -- but you didn't even celebrate *Groundhog's Day*???? WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE AAAAAAARE YOU????
Okay, you all will get another chance this July 4th. Start stocking up on illegal fireworks NOW! And don't waste your money on dynamite. You gotta get some C4! Yeah! :))))

I am already on top of things. Needless to say, there is a 300-century old gunpowder mill in the arcadian village where I spend most my weekends :P

What in the name of behindthename.com is Groundhog's Day?
Has it something to do with pigs?

Groundhogs are American critters, Selwyn . Here's where you can read all about the famous Punxsutawney Phil and his holiday:

Ah I see (txt)
Interesting.
I had never heard of Candlemass or groundhog day even though I live in one of the northern European counties, which the page seems to refer to.
In danish a groundhog is called a "Jordegern" which directly translated would be something like "earth squirrel".
Perhaps the americans think of them as a kind of underground pigs, while the danes think of them as a kind of underground squirrels, languagewise that is.

In the Wicca/Neopaganism circles it's called Imbolc. It's one of the greater Sabbats (along with Beltaine, Samhain, and one I can't recall just now). :(
You might be able to find out more in Margot Addler's Drawing Down the Moon (preferrable second or third edition).
