Nearly forgot that I was on some A.L.F. type shit when I was 12 and when my mother explained the lobsters were in the grocery store to be killed, I convinced the seafood attendant to let me hold one of the lobsters and tried to run away with it to free him. Was unsuccessful.

What a pleasant but not entirely unexpected surprise to see the Old Farmer's Almanac publicly publishing the relation between Groundhog's Day, Imbolc, Candlemas, and the Germanic pagan tradition surrounding badgers on February 2nd. So if you were wondering if Groundhog's Day had druidic and pagan origins - it does!
