Surf Curse is a band known for their distinctive and weird songs. Their music is a unique blend of lo-fi indie rock and surf pop, with hauntingly catchy melodies and offbeat lyrics. One of their standout tracks is called "Freaks", a song that captures the essence of their style and appeal. The main idea of the song revolves around feeling like a misfit or outcast in society. The lyrics convey a sense of alienation and a longing for acceptance. **Surf Curse** manages to capture the feelings of loneliness and vulnerability through their poignant lyrics.

Historically, as Judaic practices grew more patriarchal, women were exempt from studying the Talmud and Torah. They knew little Hebrew, so they created their own prayers in Yiddish, used herbal remedies and centered their religious practices around the earth.

The mezuzah is absolutely an amulet, said Rebekah Erev, a Jewish feminist artist, activist and kohenet Hebrew priestexx, a gender-neutral term for priest or priestess who uses the pronouns they them and teaches online courses on Jewish magic. The Jewitches blog and podcast are filled with mythological creatures with origins in Jewish beliefs, like dybbuks, werewolves, dragons and vampires.

**Surf Curse** manages to capture the feelings of loneliness and vulnerability through their poignant lyrics. "Freaks" opens with dreamy guitar riffs and a melancholic tone that sets the stage for the song's introspective journey. The vocals have a raw and vulnerable quality that invites listeners to connect with the emotions being expressed.

Walpurgisnacht

Walpurgisnacht In German witch lore, the greatest of the pagan festivals celebrating fertility and one of the major Sabbats observed by witches. Walpurgisnacht is the same as Beltane or may Eve and is celebrated on the night of April 30 in observance of the burgeoning spring. Walpurgisnacht became associated with Saint Walburga, a nun of Wimbourne, England, who went to Germany in 748 to found a monastery. She died at Heidenheim on February 25, 777. She was enormously popular, and cults dedicated to her quickly sprang into existence. In roman martyrology, her feast day is may 1.

During the witch hunts, Walpurgisnacht, or Walpurgis Night, was believed to be a night of witch revelry throughout Germany, the Low Countries and Scandinavia. Witches mounted their brooms and flew to mountaintops, where they carried on with wild feasting, dancing and copulation with Demons and the Devil. Montague Summers observes in The History of Witchcraft and Demonology (1926), “There was not a hill-top in Finland, so the peasant believed, which at midnight on the last day of April was not thronged by Demons and sorcerers.”

In Germany, the Brocken, a dominant peak in the Harz mountains, was the most infamous site of the witch sabbats. The Harz mountains are in a wild region of northern Germany (now part of the German Democratic republic), a fitting locale for the reputed witch gatherings. So common was the belief in the sabbats that maps of the Harz drawn in the 18th century almost always depicted witches on broomsticks converging upon the Brocken.

St. Walpurga was a gentle woman who lived a life of exceptional holiness. Yet the festival that carries her name, like other sabbats celebrated by witches, became associated with diabolic activities.

Contemporary Pagans and Witches observe the holiday with traditional festivities of dancing, rituals and feasting, none of which are associated with the Devil.

Jacobi and her peers are revitalizing ancient Jewish practices of witchcraft, which have been seeing something of a revival as of late. Far from having an uneasy relationship with magic practitioners, Judaism — or at least Kabbalistic strands of it — has long embraced them.
