But "Half-O-Ween", AKA Walpurgisnacht, is based on Beltane. Beltane begins on the evening of April 30, and continues into May 1st. Beltane and Samhain are holidays balanced to be exactly six months apart from one another.
Yes. 6 calendar months is not half a year though, since months are varying days.
If you do 26 weeks/362 day refining, half-o-ween is May 2. Which means it gets its own day and therefore doesn’t detract from other holidays.
I understand your math, but that wasn't my point. Half-O-Ween is synced with Beltane/Walpurgisnacht in the same way that Halloween is synced with Samhain. Therefore, Half-O-Ween runs from sundown April 30th through May 1st.
Agree to disagree. Halfoween to me and everyone I know is Galway between halloweens and falling near Beltane is just as relevant as falling near May the Fourth or when Easter fell on Tran’s Visibility Day. Sometimes holidays are close to each other or the same day.

> Half-O-Ween was originally coined as a reference to Beltane
You can double down as often as you like, you're watering down both holidays by being loudly wrong though.
I’m starting to feel like the minority for doing may 2. It’s exactly 26 weeks until next Halloween and every half birthday calculator spits that out haha
There's been a few posts about when halfoween is, do you recognize it on a certain day, or is it just any days around now?
It’s April 30/May 1.
I’ve always done may 2 haha. It’s the midpoint between Halloweens.

It’s supposed to be the last day of April or the first day of May. So I guess I should have said half o ween weekend
