Fallaej Šver: Celebrated every winter solstice to honor Nour, the new year ahead, and fertility. In modern day, an intricate figure-skating performance is broadcast internationally from Sihlmegozok in the morning; after sunset, a religious ballet is performed in Hoje Aleksandria's grand theater. In homes, a circle of candles is placed around evergreen and/or any regional healing plant, and a prayer takes place after sunsrise to ensure good health and fortune. The oldest woman of the family will be gifted an ornate woven head scarf called an ekkert.

Henn Goj: Celebrated every summer solstice to honor Kataž and the harvest. A large feast of dishes made from cereal crops, ripe fruit, and goat's meat is held at high noon. One prayer takes place before, as well as one after. Any leftover food scraps are scattered outside for 'nature to reclaim'. A card game called JolÍk (literally 'Joker') is played as a common pasttime, and only mead and wtaer may be dranken to preserve one's sanctity.

Tay der Fuli: The month of May, which honors Uuad, fate, and mortality. On the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the month, offerings to Uuad are placed at shrines (ranging from seashells to hard liquor). On the 15th, too, will Anais over the age of five prick their finger, letting the blood drip into a small, holy container of water called a gläšte. On the final day of May, Anais will gather in large groups-- regardless of weather-- to join hands, praying and dancing around a maypole.
