SATANIC HOLIDAYS
YULE/WINTER SOLSTICE
December 23rd
Although the Solstice begins on the 21st-22nd of December, the 23rd is a very special Personal Day for Father. The Sun enters the sign of the Goat which represents Satan. The Night of December 22nd- the eve of December 23rd is the Highest Satanic Holy Night of the year. (This was dictated from him personally). It is the day after the longest night of the year. Again we look foreward to beginnings, as the days will begin to get longer as the year goes on. This is a time for intense celebration and devotion to Lord Satan. Indulgence, decorating the home, family celebrations and get togethers. The Night of Dec. 22nd should be spent in dedication to Satan. This is an excellent time to focus on planning for the year. If one wishes to make personal resolutions this is a good time to do so.
At the high point of a ritual or offertory for a Black Mass, personal resolutions can be written on paper and burned. Father is always there to help us in having the strength to carry through with our intentons. After the rite, intense celebrating should take place.
The Yule holidays for Satanists are times of indulgence and taking pleasure in the physical and material aspects of life. Actually, xmas trees and wreaths are Pagan in origin, so there is no reason not to celebrate this holiday with our families. Gift giving, baking, decorating. This is what the TRUE Yule season is about, not the filthy nazarene.
THE FEAST OF VALB�RG*
April 30th
*We are ridding our religion of all the judeo/xtian vermin that has infested it for centuries. The ORIGINAL name for the April 30th celebrations is The Feast of Valb�rg." "Walpurgis" is the name of an xtian saint.
For those of you who are not familiar with this Satanic holiday, it is like a Satanic new year. It occurs opposite Samhain/Halloween.
Years ago, large sabbats were held on the summit of the Brocken in the Harz Mountains of Germany. A Black Mass, feasting and orgies lasted until dawn, with dancing around a huge bonfire and intense celebrating.
The Feast of Valb�rg is a celebration of fertility and has its origins with the Vikings. The festival spread throughout Europe. At this time, the veil between the Earth and the astral/spirit worlds is said to be very thin. This is an excellent time to work magickal spells and request important needs/favors from Father, for the coming 12 months.
What is done on this night, especially at midnight (April 30 - May 1st) has special significance. One way is to do a ritual or a Black Mass if more people are present. (as everyone should on this special night) and at the height of the ritual, read aloud what you hope to have/accomplish during the upcoming year. Then, burn the paper and meditate on your purpose. For a Black Mass, requests are given individually at the offertory.
All Masses, rituals, magick, spirit communications and related are much more powerful on this sacred night. Now is the time to start planning for the upcoming year, what is important to you and what you wish to accomplish; the needs you have. Write them down and bring them to Father.
The Feast of Valb�rg is a celebration of fertility and very sexual in nature
SAMHAIN/HALLOWEEN
October 31st
Samhain is the end of our year and the festival of fire and of reaping the harvest. It is also a time of thanksgiving to Father for all of the blessings he has bestowed upon us throughout the year.
Like the Feast of Valb�rg, during Samhain, the veil between the worlds is very thin and this is a night of special significance for Masses and rituals. It is also a night to settle scores.
Rituals of vengence have special significance in laying to rest hostlities so one may end the year on a peaceful note, as this is a time of endings where hatred, grudges and any other feelings that come from being wronged are vented so that enemies can be brought to justice through magickal means.
Demons are said to walk the Earth, as well as the spirits of the dead, so this is also an excellent time for interaction and communication.
Following any rite, that ideally should begin at midnight Oct 31st- Nov 1st, intense celebration should follow. This is a time for feasting and indulgence, the lighting of bonfires, dancing, sex, gluttony and general letting go.
LAMMAS DAY
August 1st
This is a time to acknowledge hard work and effort you have put forth during the year. A time to reward yourself and also learn from mistakes. Following a ritual or customary Black Mass, again, we have intense celebration and indulgence.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Celebrate yourself, this is your day!
NATIONAL BIBLE BURNING DAY
SEPTEMBER 22nd
This tradition, begun September 22nd, 2001, is now an annual celebration every Satanist should take part in. Xtian bibles, prayer books, tracts, literature, missles and any other xtian items are collected, piled, soaked with lighter fluid and set ablaze. A large metal container, such as a garbage can is a perfect receptacle in which to place the items so they can be safely burned.
A ritual or Black Mass can accompany the rite. Again, the burning is done at the height of the ritual or offertory (for a Black Mass).
It is wise to begin collecting this junk 6 months in advance. Churches (be careful), hotel rooms, lobbies, it's not hard to find xtian garbage. The items can be placed in a hefty sack and stored in your garage, on your porch, in your back yard, in the basement or in a storage locker for those of us who live in apartments, until the time comes to incinerate them.
IMBOLC
FEBRURARY 2nd
Imbolc is a time for getting rid of the old, outworn and things not needed. This is a good time for banishing rituals. Eliminating bad habits, for severances, this is a time of endings.
