    Tomorrow (May 2) is International Harry Potter Day,
    which marks the date on which Harry Potter conquered
    Lord Voldemort. It is also US National Fire Day.

    Today is Beltane (May 1), so I suggest you play
    Loreena McKennitt's Huron `Beltane' Fire Dance, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW2tYM2LZik .

    My latest attempt to improve the world is described
    on the thread "May Day, SOS" on alt.religion.druid
    and includes a global binding of criminals.

    The attempt began the night of April 29 and I hope
    it will be complete by early May 2, and that period
    includes the lunar phase of Yom Kippur (The Day of
    Atonement) though of course it is not the correct
    lunar month.

    May 1 is the anniversary of the event that launched the Society
    for Creative Anachronism (SCA), though no one knew it at the
    time, as it was intended to be a one-off party. The SCA counts
    its years from May 1, 1966.

    The West Kingdom of the SCA holds a coronation on the weekend
    closest to 1 May (Beltane Coronation was over last weekend).

    Dorothy and I picked our wedding date as to not conflict with SCA
    events, so our anniversary was May 8. Were she still alive, next
    Monday would be our 52nd anniversary.

    That failed, and I am trying again with some slight changes,
    including that the timing is beginning this evening (International
    Harry Potter Day, now three days before full moon) and
    hopefully being complete by full moon (the closest
    full moon to Beltane, and both full moon and Beltane
    are auspicious for sexuality/marriage blessings, which
    I a trying to bring about for many). You can follow my
    progress on the thread “Full moon closest to Beltane”
    on alt.religion.druid.
