best dates for summoning?

Post by Enkil »

What were the best dates for summoning the Outer Gods and Old Ones? I'm working on a story concept and i need to know but can't remeber.

I'm guessing high priestesses would be the best dates for summoning Outer Gods.

Try May-Eve (April 30th). I think it's supposed to do something.

That's Walpurgis Night, when the witches and demons are supposed to meet on hill- and mountain-tops. I seem to remember that this legend was especially associated with the Black Forest in Germany.
