Is there any specific date(s) that we know of or that has been dedicated towards celebrating Alfablot- The Elven Sacrifice? Or if it is a single day or a carried out event/. Multiple sources I have read have a variance of different celebration periods, I would like to know when others most commonly or collectivley take part in this particular blot.

Majority of what I have seen is: the end of autumn- astronomically late december , beggining/ and end of October, beggining of Novemember. A site also suggest it modernly replaces Samhain/ Halloween.

From what we know of the blot itself was recorded after the Icelandic poet Sigvatr the Skald in early 1000. Info on Alfablot and Norse Elves: http://freya.theladyofthelabyrinth.com/?page_id=339
