Who's got a Pagan Birthday?

[barlitone]

Any pagan, formerly pagan, or based on a pagan holiday birthday will do. I'll start off with a two-fer:

My birthday is on Christmas. Yep - December 25th. I am, technically, a god. (I'll have to check the rule book, but I think I may be on to something here! haha)

My brother? Well, it's only happened once, but he was born on Easter.

What are the odds?

[Celtique]

I was born on Ostara. *grin*

[kaosxmage]

May 7th ....sheesh ...almost count???? :eyez: I mean, at some point beltane has to fall on the 7th right? lol
--Kaos

[Ahautenites]

I was born on June 21st (Summer Solstice).

[Tzhebee]

I was born on June 21st (Summer Solstice).
My son was born June 21st. :fpartyfav

[Ahautenites]

Oh, yeaaaaah? Well, I was born first, so I get royalties. All his birthday presents belong to me from now on. ;) :p

[Amethyst Rose]

I have a friend who was born September 21st, and an Uncle who was born February 2nd (groundhog day). Does that count? My birthday's just an ordinary day....made special by the fact that I was born then. :D

[Leviathan]

I was born on March 11th.
The year I was born, that was Labour Day :D

[Raven_Darkstorm]

May 7th ....sheesh ...almost count???? :eyez: I mean, at some point beltane has to fall on the 7th right? lol
--Kaos

:abanana:

[Amethyst Rose]

I was born on March 11th.
The year I was born, that was Labour Day :D

Heh...Labour day in North America is the first Monday in September. :)

[Tzhebee]

My birthday is May 31st....which is celebrated as Memorial Day every few years...including the year I was born. And with the number of military personel in my family, it is very significant to me...

But as far as being a Pagan birthday? I don't know.

And Nefer...if you want a bunch of tippy cups, bibs and tonka trucks for your birthday...then maybe my son will share. ;)

[RedPhoenix]

I was born on November 5th which has been election day in USA a number of times. LOL (No Flaming)

[mara]

Last year my birthday fell on Mabon..September 23rd.

[Puck]

I was born on March 11th.
The year I was born, that was Labour Day :D

Hey, me too! Well, not the Labour Day thing.. but the actual date!

[banondraig]

here in germany labor day is may 1. ;)

[Lunacie]

Once every dozen years or so my birthday is the same day as Thanksgiving. My youngest granddaughter was born five days after my birthday and has already celebrated her birthday and Thanksgiving together once. My daughter's birthday is sometimes the same day as the Autumnal Equinox/Mabon.

[Flaire-FireStar]

THe day before Candlemas. Does that count for anything?

[Élistariel]

nope, August 8, and according to the many calendars I've looked at, August is the only month in the US calendar without a single holiday.
Phooey.
Although... okay here goes:
Aug 8 = 8-8
I was named after a character in Eight is Enough (the 8 thing was unintentional)
Both of my mother's parents have 7 siblings, thus each was from a (sibling) family of 8.
I have 4 cousins born on July 25. One is a cousin by marriage (don't ask), and two are twins, born 1970, and the other is the younger twin's daughter.

[LadyTrinity]

I was born on Aug 24th. I doubt there was anything going on that day back in 82'. :ugh:

[ravynbynorthwynd]

i'm a mabon baby. sept. 22. (every 4th year or so anyway.)

[Teresa]

[{Tigress}]

Opalia (http://sights.seindal.dk/sight/314_Opalia.html) falls on December 19th.

Gotta love Google! LOL

[Nightcrawler13]

I share a birthday with Thomas Jefferson...and sometimes it falls on good friday *shrugs*
April 13th! woo!

[Fairywolf]

I was supposed to be born on Halloween but I didn't quite make it. Mom had complications so I was hatched early. LMAO

[Pol]

I was born on July 17th. I've been told that's like, Isis' "birthday" or something.

[Ron]

December 23rd :) woot! I like those "Celtic Tree Calendars" that have the 23rd as a separate month!!! lol It's also funny because in my tradition, the 23rd is the first day of the new year. :)

[alesay]

Winter Solstice. I used to say I was born on the darkest day of the year, the day the sun died. It explained a lot. Now I say it's the day the sun/son is born. But I'm open to receiving gifts and cake any day of the year.

[~Anamorata~]

Ostara...yeah! :smile:

[Moonstoned]

Granny was a Samhain, my daughter is a Mabon. I'm nowt!! :eyez:

[jinx1_2]

I was born on September 21st. Almost on Mabon. Does almost count? :T

[equinox2]

Mabon for me (part of the reason for my screen name). My BIL’s is Ostara, so we’re kinda opposite Equinoxes.

I think anyone who’s birthday is within a week either side of the Sabbat should count!

So, that’s two weeks for each Sabbat – 8 Sabbats a year times 2 weeks (due to “either side) = 16, plus 4 weeks because each of the cross quarter traditional dates is actually about a week off, so you can count a week on either side of either the traditional day (like Oct 31 for Samhain) or the “halfway between solstice and equinox” date (Nov 7th for Samhain). Thus, there are about 20 weeks out of the year in which you could claim a Sabbat birthday. Being that there are 52 weeks in the year total, everyone has about a 38% chance of having a Sabbat Birthday! :broomride

Cool.

May the wind lift your spirits-
