I feel the same way about your language :joy:
Some words are very similar, sometimes itā€™s an easy guess. Other times Iā€™m totally clueless about what you guys saying. Is Walpurgis celebrated in Netherlands too?

I started to write like a novel as an answer. But Iā€™ll try to keep it shirt. Theyā€™re singing in German, for what I know Germany celebrates Walpurgis too.

And theyā€™re actually singing about a Biblical Demon, Lilith. Thereā€™s something similar in Swedish Folklore but she doesnā€™t really belong in the Swedish celebration. From the Beginning Walpurgis was the Vikings celebrating spring.

Walpurgisnacht is the celebration of Saint Walpurgis which is a Christian day, it was a day that Christians converted Pagans over to Christianity and warded off witches and and it originates from Germany in 870 AD

To to me the video is a representation that Christians labeled pagans as evil people and demons, so in my opinion the video interprets the day well :sweat_smile: I donā€™t celebrate Christian based holidays

But yes I do know its very widely celebrated in Scandinavia and Germany, just build your bon fire extra high to protect yourself from the evil spirits :wink:

Yeah they did like they used to do. Like they did with Lucia or Christmas for example.
Took something Pagan and made it sound or look like a Christian celebration. To somehow keep the peace, and find an explanation to what the heck we where doing :joy:

It didnā€™t get named or after the Saint until the 1400ā€™s here. And the Saint Valborg is from sometime around the 700, she had her own cult foe what I know.

But almost everything we celebrate here is a mix of Pagan, German and Catholic and Christian celebrations. So thereā€™s more then one story and explanation to everything :joy:

Oh and Iā€™m probably the evil spirit on my street :joy:

Unfortunately because of Covid-19 and very dry (but freaking cold) weather itā€™s forbidden to make any bonfires, gather for celebration or lit any fireworks this year.
