Yesterday, the witchy web was celebrating Imbolc, the diametric opposite of Samhain. Where Samhain (Halloween) is about the year getting dark and the souls of the dead wandering the earth for a night and everyone knows all about it, Imbolc is about the return of spring, and the first stirrings of life, and everybody assumes you just choked a little bit when you say it.
It's a holiday with a long and storied history, which has survived into modern times in the tradition of going out on February 2nd to ask a rodent about the weather.
As today is also the birthday of Ayn Rand and James Joyce, and the anniversary of the Dyatlov Pass incident, I think it's more appropriate to celebrate it as WTF Day - a day to look at shit that just don't make sense and say, "No, seriously, WTF?"
