Bald ist Walpurgisnacht / Soon there is Beltane


Liebe Freunde
In drei Tagen tanzen wir in den Mai, und in vier Tagen ist Walpurgisnacht.
Die kleine pummelige Hexe wird es in diesem Jahr nicht mehr auf den Besen schaffen und feiert mit ihren Freunden in ihrem Lieblingspub auf ein paar Cocktails und einen Whisky.
Wie kommt ihr in den Mai?
Liebe Grüße
Janine

Dear friends
In four days we have the beltane- fest.
The little chubby witch will not manage to ride the broom this year and so she and her friends are in their favourite pub, where they have a few cocktails and some whi(m)sky.
How do you celebrate the beltane- fest?
Greetings to all of you
Janine

  8. My dear friends,
    in Germany we have that huge May- celebration.
    In the Center of the yillage we put a maypole.
    People were dancing around.There is music and we have May- fires. And the young guys put little decorated birch- trees in front of the windows of there girls.
    The older girls (like me) may get a flower- heart, if their men are careing enough
    This party is today.
    Tomorrow is Walpurgisnacht or Belane which is an ancient fest of the celts and simular the teutons.
    It is a pagan- fest but in Germany very well known, because of all the old rituals,which still exist and all the fairy-tales of witches, who fly to the witch- mountain, known as Blocksberg on this night.
    So that is the Beltane- story.
    Even if it´s not known in America, Australia, England , the start of May is reason enough to have a party. isn´t it?
