April 30th to May 1st is the Pagan holiday of Hexennacht (also known as Walpurgisnacht, Beltane, and other names, depending on where you are). It's chosen as the day to honour those who fall victim to superstition and pseudo-science.
Sadly, this isn't only about remembering the witch trials, the Satanic Panic, or past persecution. People today suffer from failing medical systems, hate speech, purity culture, and misinformation.
The Satanic Temple came up with this idea. They're pretty chill, really, not actual devil worship, but a human rights movement against arbitrary authority and theocracy. (I've just started researching them, but it's not easy since I have to wade through a lot of unrelated occult stuff... and a lot of backlash. I'd recommend taking hate posts about them with a handful of salt since religious people are not happy with them, some even pretending to be in with them to make themselves seem legitimate.)
With Walpurgisnacht quickly approaching, I wanted to solicit you all again to help me hunt the Heritage Witch and its minions! (As a reminder, you do not need to be a real-world puella magi or even work with Puella Magi Madoka Magica as a paradigm to participate!)
It is clear that Trump’s approval is waning steadily. People who were on board with this admin’s aims are getting increasingly fed up with all of the empty talk, contradictory actions, and undue harm placed on their communities. While I obviously do not take sole ownership of this tide shift, I really do think our work up to this point has contributed to it.
Please read the playbook linked here and send me your ‘attacks’ by 7PM EST on April 30th!
This is a very image-heavy PDF so it may take several seconds to load for you!
I’m looking forward to working with you all once again! ☆
Satanic Holidays
Did you know that Satanism has its own special days marked on the calendar? Well, they might not be on most people's, but they're just as interesting and deserving of recognition as other more well-known festivities. For example, we have... Lupercalia - February 15th
This holiday has its origins set in Ancient Rome, and it celebrates sexual liberation and bodily autonomy. These two aspects are very important to Satanism, as they're related to the core philosphies of each person embracing the so-called christian "sins" and acting upon them, as well as reminding us we're the ones in charge of shaping and liberating ourselves.
(Lupercalia by Andrea Camassei, 1635) Hexennacht - April 30th This is a more conmemorative holiday instead of a more festive one. Hexennacht, a.k.a Walpurgisnacht andd the Walpurgis/Witches' Night is centered around remembering those who fell victim of indoctrination, dogma and witchhunt, an important day to remember the importance of critical thinking and avoid herd mentality, If you're a witch, this is also an important day to deepen your connection with your magic(k) side.

On July 25th, 2015, The Satanic Temple unveiled the iconic statue of Baphomet and the children as a celebration of religious minorities.
(The statue of Baphomet by Mark Porter, 2015.) Halloween - October 31st An entire day dedicated to embrace and have fun enjoying the dark aesthetics of what has been traditionally considered as evil and dangerous, defying dogma while having fun and candies in the process.
(Credits to Fotocelia) Sol Invictus - December 25th Just like Lupercalia, this holiday started back in Ancient Rome, and it celebrated the Sun god and beginning of the Winter solstice. In Satanism, Sol Invictus celebrates us being unconquered by superstition and the constant pursuit for knowledge.
