    We are now in the Hindu festival of Navarati (also spelled Navrati)
    which celebrates Durga and her victory over various demons.

    My latest attempt to instigate a global new age is described on
    the thread “fat-D-moon onset” on alt.religion.druid , and
    my top deity is Goddess, the ruler of the region all/everything.

    October 24, 2023 is Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra,
    Dasara or Dashain, a major Hindu festival celebrated every year
    at the end of Navaratri. It is observed on the tenth day of the
    month of Ashvin, the seventh in the Hindu Luni-Solar Calendar.
    (from Wikipedia)

    It is also United Nations Day.

    I think it is also about the same phase as Yom Kippur,
    the Jewish Day of Atonement, though not the same
    lunar month.
