Walpurgisnacht!

We are the last day of April, which means that tonight is Walpurgis Night. Also known as Half-loween, a sort of crypto Halloween for the heart of spring, like Halloween is in the heart of autumn. More to the point, it is a spooky night for people who like me have a spooky mind, time to read a bit of horror stories and make you wait until October. It is also a time to beware: don't go out tonight, you might see ghosts, devils and of course witches. You never know, there might be a Sabbath near you. There might be one near me, in any case: where this picture had been taken, a few weeks ago. This is the ensign of a nearby village hall, which features a witch. I often share it on this blog to commemorate Walpurgis Night. I suspect that this is not merely an ensign, but a sign indicating a gathering point for the witches. It is probably very easy to spot from the air, when you are flying on a broomstick at low altitude.
