Welcome to the May edition of “Pray Away the LaVey.
It is vital that we become familiar with occult holidays so that we can pray and fast for the protection, release, and healing of people and children caught up in its dark web. There are all sorts of things going on in the world right now, but we cannot use these diversions as an excuse to forget about the real warfare going on underground and all around us.
If the idea of praying for Satanists, or praying against occult rituals and holidays overwhelms or frightens you, or you don’t know where to begin, check out Russ Dizdar’s Prayer Mapping course; or listen to Tom and Vicki’s prayer mapping episode HERE.
I pray that the information below will be a valuable resource in assisting you as you pray for the protection of our children, the salvation of those steeped in these traditions and bloodlines, and against the Enemy’s power that is unleashed in greater measure on these charged dates.
HIGH HOLY DAYS ON THE OCCULT CALENDAR – May 2023
May is the fifth month of the modern calendar, early 12th-century, Mai, for Old French mai and directly from Latin Maius mensis “month of May,” possibly from Maja, Maia, a Roman earth goddess (wife of Vulcan) whose name is of unknown origin; possibly from PIE *mag-ya “she who is great,” feminine suffixed form of root *meg “great” (cognate with Latin magnus). Other sources say The Roman month of Maius is named for Maia. Maia was a daughter of Atlas. May was sacred to Maia, Roman Goddess of spring.
