FEAST OF BONA DEA 🎊

The feast of Bona Dea (“Good Goddess”) was celebrated on May 1 or at the beginning of December (probably on December 3). It was a Roman festival in honour of the Roman agrarian god, Bona Dea, daughter of Faunus. This holiday was worshipped only by women, due to the nature of Bona Dea herself – the goddess who is both virgin and responsible for the fertility of women.
Although she had a temple on the Aventine Hill, her feast was celebrated in the house of an important Roman family. Everything male was strictly forbidden to enter the festival, including male animals. We do not know much about the appearance of the celebrations themselves, because there are no records of it. Even in ancient times, the holiday was extremely mysterious, about which virtually nothing men knew.

SCP 011 • THE STATUE OF CHESTER SMITH
Class: Safe

SCP-011 is a Civil War memorial statue located in Woodstock, Vermont. The statue is the image of a young male soldier holding a musket at his side, and is carved out of granite quarried within the area. Occasionally, SCP-011 has been observed lifting its musket to the sky to fire at birds which attempt to land or defecate on it. Reports detail that its movements produce soft grinding sounds but do not cause it any structural failure. Oddly, the gunfire is very similar to that of a standard firearm, despite observations that the item only loads granite bullets and granite powder into the musket (which is also unharmed by the firing). In spite of its efforts, some fecal matter does manage to strike SCP-011, and it has reportedly become distressed when it has had a large amount of feces on it, on some rare occasions even firing at humans.

The mountain Georgians, on the other hand, preserved a rich and well-organized [pagan] religious system to the beginning of the twentieth century, with differentiated cults that continued to be productive [thanks largely to the persistence of] a priestly class with an orally-transmitted body of knowledge.
