I like the Sacred Time idea, but agree that people would know and act upon the elemental associations of their birthday.

As to the day itself, a sacrifice to the ancestors or Flesh Man feels right to me. Only you and your mum are likely to register your actual birth day.

And I suspect, as in many parts of the world, that people are 'one' when they are born, and 'two' on their first birthday. Concepts like 'zero' are for Lhankors or for other weird folk.

Cheers

John
