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.
Lupercalia – February 15th
This holiday has its origins 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 philosophies 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.
Hexennacht – April 30th
This is a more commemorative holiday instead of a more festive one. Hexennacht, a.k.a Walpurgisnacht and the Walpurgis/Witches’ Night, is centered around remembering those who fell victim to 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.
Unveiling Day – July 25th
A holiday dedicated to celebrating religious plurality and stripping ourselves away from archaic superstition. On July 25th, 2015, The Satanic Temple unveiled the iconic statue of Baphomet and the children as a celebration of religious minorities.
Halloween – October 31st
An entire day dedicated to embracing and having fun, enjoying the dark aesthetics of what has been traditionally considered evil and dangerous, defying dogma while having fun and candies in the process.
Sol Invictus – December 25th
Just like Lupercalia, this holiday started back in Ancient Rome, and it celebrated the Sun god and the beginning of the Winter solstice. In Satanism, Sol Invictus celebrates us being unconquered by superstition and the constant pursuit of knowledge.
And last but not least – Your birthday!
The most important day of your year. An entire day dedicated to remembering how lucky you are to exist and how valuable you are as an individual. Hail yourself!
