SUMMARY:Walpurgisnacht
DESCRIPTION:In parts of Northern Europe, predominantly Germanic, Walpu
 rgisnacht is celebrated each year around April 30.\nThis pagan festiva
 l is named for Walpurga, a Christian saint, who spent a number of year
 s as a missionary in the Frankish empire. Over time, the celebration o
 f this saint blended with the Viking celebrations of spring, and Walpu
 rgisnacht was born.\nIn Norse traditions - and many others - this nigh
 t is the time when the boundary between our world and that of the spir
 its is a bit shaky. Much like Samhain six months later, Walpurgisnacht
  is seen as a time to communicate with the spirit realm and with the f
 ae.\nBonfires are traditionally lit to keep away malevolent spirits or
  those who might do us mischief.\nToday, some Pagans in central and no
 rthern Europe still celebrate Walpurgisnacht as a precursor to Beltane
 .\nAlthough it is named for a martyred saint, many Germanic Pagans try
  to honor the celebrations of their ancestors by observing this tradit
 ional holiday each year.\nIt is typically observed much like May Day c
 elebrations themselves - with lots of dancing, singing, and ritual aro
 und the bonfire. Many celebrate it as a kind of Beltane Eve.\n\n \n\n
