<Mountainous Heathen!>

i didn't know this but...

"There are also several other traditions on this night, including the rituals of Koozeh Shekastan, the breaking of earthen jars which symbolically hold ones bad fortune; the ritual of Fal-Goosh, or inferring one's future from the conversations of those passing by; and the ritual of Gereh-gosha-ee, making a knot in the corner of a handkerchief or garment and asking the first passerby to unravel it in order to remove ones misfortune."

in the same light, in preparation, i have begun to soak wheat berries for grass growing. but i think i should do some mung beans too, as they are curly and more exciting than the wheat blades of grass.

"house shaking" also known as spring cleaning will be the doozy this year, as it is almost every year. but it is much needed.

for the haft seen, i have sumac, garlic, senged, apples, grass, vinegar, and i need one more. apparently, i'm also supposed to include a book of poetry, rose water, and a bowl of water with an orange in it (representing the earth floating in space).

man, i wish i was zoroastrian. i guess i am to some extent. but it'd be even cooler if i practiced all their rituals on a daily/seasonal/annual basis.

now, from where will i get fish?
