(e.g., appealing to Mothra's twin fairies for help against Godzilla; singing to King Caesar for help against Mechagodzilla; etc.).

- Though we live in a world of nuclear energy and cutting edge super-science, the world is still full of ancient magic, especially when human characters work to communicate and *reason* with the kaiju, as opposed to simply attacking them with weapons.

post
- Parthenogenesis is real and actually occurs among certain real life animal species (such as the New Mexico whiptail lizard); it is also the most likely explanation as to how certain kaiju like Godzilla reproduce.

- War is fundamentally evil, and destroying people or animals is never something to celebrate or be "proud" of.
comment in response to
post
- Lots of bad shit could be avoided if stuffy patriarchal government dudes simply listened to women, children, and war veterans more often.
- Sometimes, what seems like a good solution to a problem can open the floodgates to even more disastrous problems (e.g., the Oxygen Destroyer).

- Humans are the most destructive animals, since we can literally nuke this entire planet at any time.
- Teamwork is the most important key to our survival; selfish, competitive, and egotistical people do not have what it truly takes to survive.

Paul Gardiner, bassist for Numan's Tubeway Army, died at 25 from a drug overdose in 1984. This song captures his inner turmoil just beforehand. (For the young'uns: this song is not about Star Wars or politics, but drug addiction.)

If you listen to the old timers in Wyrdham, they’ll tell you Melissa is still out there; that Pazuzu raised her from the dead and transformed her into one of His wind elementals...
...and that she will kill absolutely anyone who trespasses in her woods—including other witches.
comment in response to
post
Since then, anyone who has approached Melissa’s old cabin in the woods—land developers, lost hikers, thrill-seeking teenagers, etc.—has been found hanging from the trees with their skins removed.

Not too long after she was murdered, Melissa’s body went missing from the local morgue.
The three Christian men who tormented her were found disemboweled in their homes.
comment in response to

They even believed that she had “brought her own murder upon herself” with all of her so-called “black magic.”
comment in response to
post
No one in Wyrdham lifted a finger to help her, not even the police, since they all hated Melissa for her religion.
comment in response to
post
During the 1980s Satanic Panic, Melissa was harassed, stalked, and eventually murdered by three Christian men from out of town.
comment in response to
post
Despite her good character, Melissa was rejected by all the other witches in Wyrdham for worshiping her God, Pazuzu.

The story of "Elemental"
There was once a witch named Melissa Meddows who lived in the Mapleton Woods in Wyrdham. She was a very kind soul who rescued injured animals, nursing them back to health.

Anyhoo, here's wishing a very Merry Walpurgis to everyone who celebrates, regardless of your religious tradition (or lack thereof). May you have a most fantastic evening tonight, whatever you might end up doing. Have fun and be safe! ❤🤘

It was a weekend full of booze, lewd jokes, horror flicks, and about a ton and a half of heavy fuckin’ metal. We really shook the pillars of heaven that year, by Gods, and when it was over, we both knew Big Red was mighty pleased with us.

We roamed every antique book store, and vintage record shop we could afford at the time (being in our late teens/early twenties), growling the lyrics to all our favorite death metal songs and shouting a random “DUA SET!” at every turn.

The greatest Walpurgis I have ever experienced so far was in 2004. It was on a Saturday that year, and I was living in Houston. My brother in Set, the Tonester, drove down to visit me for the whole weekend, and we hit the city together like bricks fired from a machine gun.

Then maybe we'll wrap things up with "Race With the Devil" (1975), that old golden turkey where Peter Fonda and Warren Oates make like Mad Max while being chased by stunt-driving Satanists across the state of Texas.
comment in response to
post
Then maybe we'll go with either "The Devil's Rain" from 1975 or "Incubus" from 1966. (That's the one where Bill Shatner gets the hots for a cute demon lady, and everybody speaks Esperanto. Love that damn movie.)

My wife and I always watch the original 1973 version of "The Wicker Man" on this holiday. That will probably be the first thing we watch this evening.

(We just started celebrating it as teenagers, before we understood as much about this stuff as we do nowadays, and we never really stopped.)
comment in response to
post
(Our observation of this holiday has more to do with memorializing our experiences growing up together than it does with any historical or ideological claims. I don't want anyone coming away from this post thinking I said Walpurgis is a Kemetic thing, because I didn't, and it isn't.)
comment in response to
post
(But it's very important to understand, we observe this Germanic holiday *in addition* to worshiping an Egyptian God; we are NOT claiming Walpurgis has anything to do with ancient Egypt, or that other Egyptian polytheists are under any "obligation" to celebrate it whatsoever.

So adopting Walpurgis into our private religious calendar has always made sense, at least to us.
comment in response to
post
And since the ears of Set’s most holy symbol, the Sha, resemble “horns” (not to mention that some of His other sacred animals include such horned and hoofed critters as antelope and oryx), it is easy enough to conceptualize ourselves as “witches” who invoke a spooky Horned God at night.
comment in response to
post
Since He is a nocturnal God of the wilderness, we’ve always preferred to recite our incantations to Him in lonely woodsy areas after dark (or immediately before dawn).
comment in response to
post
My siblings in the LV-426 Tradition (i.e., a tongue-in-cheek name for our coven) and I have always found the lore of witches roaming mountains on this night, throwing bacchanalian rites to a Horned God mistaken for “Satan,” to be suggestive of our own personal experiences with Set.

In fact, you might say Walpurgis is Germany’s version of Halloween, more or less; one might even call it “Samhain in the Spring.”
comment in response to
post
It’s most often observed in continental Europe by wearing scary costumes, lighting huge bonfires, and making all kinds of Gods-awful racket to scare away the evil spirits.

It represents the cross-quarter point of our solar year between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice, and it’s a time for warding off the last vestiges of winter.

"We can't just sit back, hoping for a happy ending. If the Light is to prevail, the fight must go on, forever and ever, worlds without end. Even Gods must fight for what They wish to save."

"Ma'at is a delicate balance; it is always in danger. The forces of isfet are always on the move. There is always someone who wants to kill the light of Ra in every shining soul."
