Which pagan holiday is celebrated on October 18?
In Britain, the Horned God Day is an ancient pagan holiday. The Horned God is a sylvan deity who presides over fertility, plants and animals. The God had various names, so its depictions varied greatly as well, but one thing was always the same: the deity was described/depicted with deer horns. According to the legend, the deity is a messenger of Mother Nature.

well I did get this wrong and I went online and looked at a pagan calendar and there was no holiday on Oct 18. This calendar is for US pagans? I do not know, but obviously this question refers to British pagans. LOL
