Celebrating Other Spirituality 365 Days A Year – Vocanalia

August 23

Vocanalia

 

Vulcan was the ancient Roman God of fire and smithcraft. He had his own Flamen, the Flamen Vocanalis. Very little is known about his festival and worship, but he did have a temple on the Campus Martius. Mythologically, Vulcan was the father of the fire-breathing monster Cacus, and his two consorts were Maia and Hora-also worshiped during his festival.
