Alban Elved, Fall Equinox
September 21st, Alban Elved is the pagan Thanksgiving Day called the "Festival of the Vine". The Pagans believed that the Goddess was responsible for fertility ans was worshipped in the Spring and Summer rights. As the season changes to Fall and Winter they transitioned to worship of the God. This date was chosen because of a symbolic kind of irony between Lady Pendragon as a representation of the Goddess and the Saxon Cheldric as the God.
