Whale Festival 6th March
During the first week of March , people who live along the northern most part of California take time to visit the shore . This is a time of great anticipation and excitement as everyone hopes to catch a glimpse of the annual whale migration - a deeply moving and inspiring event.
One of the three royal fish of ancient Britain , whales are considered record - keepers and symbols of regeneration. The idea of being swallowed by a whale is equivalent to the initiation of death and rebirth , the whale being both tomb and womb simulatanously.
The Norse believed that witches could ridewhales , and in Japan the whale is the sea mount for the God of oceans.
