Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day

National Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day is an annual celebration dedicated to “wild men.” It is every year on January 12th. This is a cheerful and unusual holiday, which can be interpreted in various ways.

History

The history of the Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day is not well-documented. It is believed that this holiday was created as a tribute to the mythological past of the world. Studying the legends and tales of different cultures, one can often come across descriptions of savages. Most often they are depicted as strong men in shabby clothes with significant body hair. During the Middle Ages, they were called “woodwose” in Europe. These savages often settled in dense forests, where they could easily find food and feel safe.

Today, the image of a savage is popular at various festivals and other events dedicated to mythology or fantasy. In the modern world, the image of a wild man is attributed to self-confident individuals who directly follow their goals and do not pay attention to those who say they will not succeed or are not worthy of more.

Interesting facts

• In the modern world, truly wild tribes have survived. For example, the Sentinelese. They live on a small island with dense vegetation, which actually belongs to India. However, the authorities do not interfere in the life of the indigenous population. The tribe has about 1500 people. They lead an almost primitive way of life, primarily engaging in gathering.
• According to scientists, modern men and women are much weaker than their primitive ancestors. Today, people do not need to survive in dangerous conditions, and most of the time is spent solving intellectual problems.
