The U.S. Navy has celebrated Thanksgiving in one fashion or another since before it became an official American holiday.
Arrayed below are Navy Thanksgiving menus f that span the first half of the 20th century.
Although some dishes (“Mayonnaise Salad” on battleship Arizona in 1917; “Baked Spiced Spam à la Capitaine de Vaisseau” on cruiser Augusta in 1942) have not transcended time and post-dinner cigars and cigarettes have also been left pierside, roast turkey, baked ham, and pumpkin pie have been the anchors of nearly every Thanksgiving feast at sea or on shore to the present day.

Sinners & Saints by Hyperborean Radio (uncensored)
Hello Wastelanders of Modernity, today we spoke of "Saints" so well known to many of the wastelands. We spoke of their heathen origins, their use as propaganda, and how oddly many Catholics are unintentionally better pagans than some pagans. As the myriad…

When researching the Hyperborean Ethnic Faith the most important question one can ask themselves is "What does this story tell me about the nature of our people and what is its lesson?" rather than taking the easy route of "How does this show this god is the same as that god?". Stories are lessons and rarely are their meanings hidden instead they are merely lessons presented in an entertaining way so that we remember them taking them into ourselves giving them a home to live and breath.

A farmer seeking enlightenment decided it best to ask the living things of his farm if they might feed him so he might not be hungry.
“Dearest cow” he asked, “would you mind terribly if I were to kill you and consume your flesh so that I might not be hungry?”
“No, you may not,” answered the cow, “however the sheep might be interested in your request.”
So, the man went to the sheep.
“Dearest sheep” he asked, “would you mind terribly if I were to kill you and consume your flesh so that I might not be hungry?”
“No, you may not,” answered the sheep, “however the pig might be interested in your request.”
And so, it went through all of the animals and all of the plants until the man fell, starved to death.
At that time the animals and plants then consumed what remained of his flesh so they would no longer be hungry.

Ancestor and Nature Spirits
Many "Nature Spirits" of Europe are also "Ancestor Spirits" as there are many Nature spirits that originate as the souls of the dead. The most notable of these is the House Spirits Such as Brownies, Domovoi, Lares, Fairy Godmothers, and Tomte. Though there are also spirits of natural areas and functions that begin their existence as the spirits of the dead. Some tales of Black Dogs include them originally being human spirits who take the form of these fertility spirits on the wild hunt or to interact with the living. These often become protective spirits to areas and people, or become Wind Hounds which bring fertility through the air. In the Slavic Areas and Beyond the Rusalki are the spirits of women who died and became river spirits. Perchta, an Alpine Goddess, is said to be Queen of the Ghost Children and caretaker of lost souls. Many of these child souls chose to stay with Perchta and become one of her many Perchten rather then to reincarnate or go to the ancestors.-TLK
