Walpurgisnacht

Walpurgisnacht is a celebration assimilated from Celto-Germanic and Christian beliefs. Although named after the English born saint Walburga, the celebration is known in many pagan versions of the same idea: spring.

One of the most popular versions is that Odin would hunt dark winter spirits in the night of April 30th and May 1st. In more Christian beliefs, the night was filled with magic and witches, which must be scared away with large bonfires.

Although sometimes associated with satanism, partially because of Goethe’s “Faust”, the general idea is to come together and light any kind of fire and welcome spring, glad that winter is over.

“Die Walpurgisnacht. Ein gedicht in drei Gesangen” Johann Friedrich Löwen 1756

I hope everyone had a wonderful beltane 🌺🌹☀️

Of course we celebrated beltane together and were so looking forward to our time together. It's so nice to finally be part of a coven where training is so much fun and interesting. I've learned a lot again and I'm looking forward to the future. A lot will change, an exciting time is dawning.

Have a blessed 1. May

Signs of a heart attack are different for each gender yet we only really teach the male warning signs. Make sure you’re aware of both and spread it to as many other women as possible!

“To fall asleep under a hazel tree would give one prophetic dreams. A German alchemist once said that connecting with nature spirits is ‘easily gained beneath hazel branches’. Hazel twigs could be used for weather magic, with an excerpt from a seventeenth century witch trial reading ‘the devil gave a hazel branch to a witch and told her to beat a stream with it, upon which a downpour followed’. Another part of the document reads: ‘A witch-boy flogged the water with a hazel switch until a small storm cloud rose up from it. Not long thereafter a rainstorm began.’ A wood spirit inhabited the hazel tree and the nuts were thought to be connected to witches from olden times. An old saying ‘Sorceress, Witch, Hazel Stick’ was a taunt directed at women who paid attention to magic and witchcraft. In German ballads, the hazel tree was addressed as ‘Lady Hazel’, and children were threatened with Lady Hazel coming to get them if they dared to pick unripe nuts.”
