What To Do On Shiva Ratri

It's that time of the year again! Many might be asking: 
1. what is Shiva Ratri? 
2. When is Shiva Ratri? And most importantly: 
3. What should I do to celebrate/ why would I even want to celebrate Shiva Ratri? 

To answer these questions, we plunge into a discussion of the five modes of Tantra: puja, japa, homa, yoga and vrata, making a case for why vrata is so important and for viewing it as an act of spontaneous freedom. 

The TLDR of all this is: you are already Shiva. There is nothing you need to do to be "More" Shiva and nothing you can do to be "Less" Shiva. As such, nobody can tell you what to do or what not to do on any night much less on Shiva Ratri! May all be absorbed in Shiva!
