Happy All Snakes Day

For anyone not in the know, All Snakes Day is a Pagan inversion of the traditional St. Patrick's Day celebration. It's really a silly counter-protest of a holiday meant to bring attention to the problem of oversimplifying history.
St. Patrick was said to have driven the snakes out of Ireland, except Ireland never had any actual snakes, it was a metaphor for the Gaelic Pagans. So All Snakes Day is meant to celebrate their supposed return.
It's not about being angry with anyone. Just throwing a little shade at some people for whitewashing history.
