Never thought of that. This is an ANGLO SAXON FESTIVAL. No one should be allowed to participate unless you descend from the Angles or migrated from Saxony.
Not to be argumentative, but I think the Saxons culturally appropriated it from the original inhabitants of Britain the Britons.
My people. And I am offended.
Go, and take your Odin with you, sassenachs.
