We have never been a particularly religious family. Although a better understanding of, and closer relationship with, the gods is something we are trying to develop.

Gods We Honor
There are some differences between the way that we relate to our gods and the way more well-known religions do. Firstly, and most obvious, Sinnsreachd is polytheistic, which is to say that we honor more than one god. Our gods are individuals with individual personalities and areas of influence (although these often overlap, not at all like the clear distinctions of the Roman gods for instance). Another difference is that we see our gods as honored family rather than unknowable rulers. In some cases this may be literal as some families trace their lineage all the way back to a member of the Tuatha De Danann. We are still in the process of getting to know the gods on a personal level, so as a group we do not honor individual gods on a regular basis. That said, some of us do call on specific gods from time to time, noteably An Dagda, Lugh, and Bríd.

Holidays We Celebrate
Our primary celebrations the four Fire Festivals. Generally, our celebrations are pretty low key consisting primarily of a prayer and a feast.

Samhain - We remember our dead and ask the gods for a safe and mild winter. We recheck and replace if necessary the iron nails that we have placed in window sills and doorways for protection from the Púca and other nasties. During the feast a place is set for departed family members and ancestors who might visit.
Imbolc - Feast prayer consists of requests for a productive spring. Feast is followed by a "slumber party" where all the kids drag their sleeping bags into the living room for an all-night movie marathon. Mom and Dad usually stay for the first movie or two and then retire.
Bealtaine - Celebration of the joys of summer. Feast prayer is of thankfulness that the much anticipated warm and happy summer months are finally here. Typically a large cookout with close friends and outside family invited as well.
Lughnasadh - Celebrated with games and contests followed by feasting.

There is some debate from within and outside our culture on what are the proper days to celebrate the Festivals. Some prefer fixed calendar dates, some try to celebrate according to the agricultural indicators. We celebrate on the day that falls directly between the Solstices and Equinoxes. This eliminates any religio-political arguements about the current (Gregorian) calendar as it is pretty hard to argue with the position of the planet in orbit.

There are some holidays outside of our culture that we celebrate.
Spring Equinox - An excuse to give candy to the kids (and adults). Alternative to the secular celebration (bunnies, candy, eggs, etc.) of the Christian Easter.
Independence Day - American tradition, what more is there to say?
Halloween - Can't deny the fun that the kids have dressing up on "candy-begging day".
Thanksgiving - Despite knowing the history and origins of Thanksgiving and the truth of the Pilgrims and Indians story, it is hard to deny another American tradition.
Winter Solstice/Yule - This is somewhat a leftover from our experience with Neopaganism and we consider this an alternative to Christmas. Actually, we celebrate three "winter present-opening days". The bulk of our festivities occur on Yule and this is when we open gifts to each other and feast. On Christmas Eve we open presents sent to us from outside family (our outside family all live out of the area). On Christmas morning we open stockings and presents that "Santa" has brought.

For our children, we have some developing coming of age traditions. Right now this has been just been the boys. On their thirteenth birthday, they are taken out to eat and a movie by the other men of our family. They are also given their first knife as a symbol of manhood and responsibility. For the girls something similar is planned for their first menstrual cycle, but this hasn't occured yet.
