It is presumed that the readers of this blog are all vetted Saturnalians, having received invitation to our welcome home feast, so we can speak more freely of our rites and traditions. To the reader whose knowledge of Saturnalia is exhaustive, we beg your pardon, while we encourage the neophyte to build his or her understanding of our proud organization.
Saturnalians have their origins in old Rome during the erection of a temple dedicated to the god Saturn. History tells of a spontaneous feast that accompanied the initiation of the temple; a city wide feast that seemed to have appeared from nowhere, and which lasted for a full week. The chefs responsible for this celebration were curiously clandestine. Their vigilante cuisine was prepared and provided without detection, eliciting the sensation that Saturn himself had designed the feast. Indeed, this was the work of the first Saturnalians, performing their sacred rite to celebrate!
Nowadays, of course, the Saturnalians are a global network of varied individuals gathering for secret pagentry to a shared love of life.
