Hey! The "I like your art-style"-guy is here again. ^^ I mean, honestly, it is just awesome. Keep on. ^^
A question to your article: You said that there are celebrations for each deity. Are all of these happy celebrations? Or are there devotional or sad celebrations as well, for example when everything is dark and grey in winter, or when stocks are coming to an end?
Question no. 2: Why do all months in one season have the same post-fix? Do these postfixes have meaning, or are they just uniform within one season to ease pronouncement?
Most are respectful celebrations! All may not be happy, but at the very least they're respectful to the god the event is about. The months all have the same post-fix since it was something I saw with olden day calendars and I thought it was neat : D
