This day in history: Today (or tonight) is Walpurgis Night (Walpurgisnacht). The best way to think about Walpurgis Night is that is the Spring version of Halloween, and it is actually exactly 6 months before Halloween. The festival is named after Saint Walburga who lived 1300 years ago. While Saint Walpurga was known to repel the effects of witchcraft, over time the festival came to be known as a time when witches meet on Brocken mountain under the presidency of Satan, who, on such occasions, generally takes the form of a black he-goat. In the literature of old, Lilith, (Adam's first wife according to mythology), figures prominently in this festival. As the festival has strong Spring associations, it is deeply intertwined with ancient pagan Scandinavian & Germanic cults.
