The Official World Goth Day site defines it as "a day where the goth scene gets to celebrate its own being, and an opportunity to make its presence known to the rest of the world."
World Goth Day originated in the United Kingdom in 2009. BBC Radio 6 was looking at a number of music subcultures throughout a week in May, including Goth music. Goth DJs Cruel Britannia and Martin Oldgoth got an event up and running. It was decided that May 22 would be the day when this event would be held regularly.
The tradition continued and spread outside the United Kingdom, with a website being initiated to coordinate and advertise events worldwide.
World Goth Day celebrates the subcultural aspects of the Goth subculture. Aspects of the culture like fashion, music and art are celebrated by fashion shows, art exhibitions and music performance. Many of the events feature local Goth bands, and some have taken on a charity aspect with events in the United Kingdom and Australia supporting favored charities like the UK Sophie Lancaster Foundation, a charity that tries to curb prejudice and hatred against subcultures.

The event has evolved to be now celebrated by goths all around the world, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, Macedonia and South Africa.
In 2016 there were over 40 events across the world.
Enjoyed spending time with my Niece and her BF this weekend.
The ambiance of Bakerland incorporating Aroma Therapy, Sound Therapy, Visual Therapy, Physical Therapy & Taste Therapy to stimulate all the senses enabling one to relax and enjoy life. A slower life full of Serenity... So here I catch my Niece & her BF (a.k.a Nephew-In-Law) succumbing to the Magick of Bakerland.
Last year, my Surrogate Mom's Fiance passed away in their home. Him being a Former US Marine as myself, she wanted me to have something of his so she gave me his leatherman. Months later while visiting her over Mother's Day Weekend, I was in his office with her and had a little box with me that was full of medicine and accidentally bumped into his desk. These little figurines fell into my box so I got them all out and placed them back.
The next day, while going through the box for my meds, I came across this Gothic Grim Reaper ring. Knowing that my Mom and Sister were out of the house, I texted her and asked did she put a little gift in my box trying to be sneaky. Well, she didn't know what I was talking about. Then I described the item and sent her a picture of it. She didn't recognize it.
So I asked her did my Sister (their daughter) do it, but got no reply.
So I took a nap and their returning home awakened me. When I went out to sit with them, I showed them the ring and accused one of them for buying me a gift and sneaking it in my box.
My Sister recognized the ring first and then my Mom. It had belonged to my Mom's Fiance. I told my Mom that I was surprised because he had never seemed Goth. She said that he wasn't and was surprised herself when he had purchased it. My Sister said that he had told her that he bought it since he knew that he was dying and felt that the ring would keep Death away. However, that he wasn't wearing it the day he passed away. She felt he knew that I would be the only one in the family to like it so it must have been his Spirit that caused it to fall into my box.
*takes a drag off a cigarette* There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone!
So as you know, I purchased this Baphomet Incense Burner.
It came with one cone. Didn't think much of that except how convenient that is especially if I didn't have any. The Burner worked just as advertised.
So the next day, I grab one of my incense cones and tried it again. Nothing! Grabbed another incense cone and tried it a second time and this time I used a torch. The smokey mist started and then stopped just as fast.
So I googled the item and realized that there were incense cone types known as 'Backflow'. I did not know this. Jumped on eBay and ordered a hundred.
Serenity is my Priority #1 so don't get all butt hurt if your attempt to bring drama my way doesn't go as planned. Don't feel sad because I didn't respond in the way that would have fed you Psychically. I know you hunger for negative emotions.
But you know me...I'm like a Warlock and shit after all. LOL!
