Walpurgisnacht mug
Walpurgisnacht, or Walpurgis' Night is not the vernal equinox (the vernal equinox, also Ostara, is around March 21st, when the sun is entering the constellation Aries from earth's perspective). Walpurgis' Night is the evening of April 31st, which leads to May 1st, and is around the time of the Celtic Beltane (From an astronomer or astrologer's perspective, the sun will be around the 15th degree of Taurus from earth's perspective, or simply the middle portion of Taurus. It is also the 2nd decan of Taurus). As a key note, Beltane is related to fertility rituals (after all, it is the spring) and may also be known as May Day. The name "Walpurgis" is referring to St. Walburga, who was an educated English abess that studied Latin (remember, educated women were rare back then), and migrated to Heidenheim, Germany, and died there around 780 CE. May 1st is also the day of the removal of her bones from Heidenheim to Eichstädt. The witchy connotations of Walpurgis' Night may have sprung up around the late 18th century and early 19th century CE in Germany, and memorialized when Goethe published his play about the legend of Faust in 1808. It is possible that Walpurgis' Night may have been associated with witchcraft due to the pagan's religious practices around this time in accordance with May Day. Coupled with the church's demonization of pagan practices, these religious practices around this time was marked as witchcraft, hence leaving Walpurgis' Night with a witchy association.

why is this a real thing? AND YA'LL ACTING LIKE IT'S NORMAL!?
I really like the mug, but I thought I had ordered the all pink one. What came was a white with a block of pink with "Fubar" written on it.
the only reason why i care about humanity this mug is the reason why i believe humanity deserves a second chance, even after they blaspheme my name. this mug is the greatest thing i've ever seen and i have ordered many of them. this mug replaces the holy grail. the bible should've told about the wonderful deeds of the mug and how it saved humanity from my wrath. alas, whilst the laws keep me from tampering with human minds and altering holy objects like the bible, i can only pass on my message: "spread the news and buy this mug!"

The mug is of good quality but advertisement needs to change as the sample photo for ordering gives the customer an illusion that the entire mug is of that color ordered when it is not
