You mean a rehabilitated ("de"habilitated?) Lupercalia, or something later in the season? The syncretic hermeticist already has red Pentecost, the day of fire and the universal language. The secular alchemist already has white Easter, the day of the crucible and the egg. And the ascetic already has Black Wednesday, the day of the ashes. As far as I know, the hermetic year generally begins around the month of the lamb. Starting the calendar between Yule and Epiphany is an exoteric reading. >should Mayday become Kristday? what would the IWWW say?? The IWWW (Bread and Roses) would say that until the Revolution (Messiah) actually arrives, the first of May is not yet the answer, only the question. So call it what you want.
