The decision to forgo the ritual this year was easy to make. When I woke up this morning, I knew I shouldn’t try to celebrate it in the same way as one should. As a Fey, it wasn’t that surprising if I didn’t give Death his dues. We were a people who had always been adverse to Death and rarely celebrated the day, if only to give respect to those we lost. For performing the ritual? I only did that because I was used to it before I was turned and wanted to show the students at Hogwarts a means to speak to their departed ones. The other holidays – especially Beltane – were commemorated with festivals in the Feywilds which eventually lead to the ritual being performed by priests or priestesses. Sometimes an Elder would perform it, but they rarely did.
