Walpurgis NIght Begins Now Until May 1st

Norse Festival Of Darkness Starts Tonight: Walpurgis is celebrated 9 nights (Apr 22 - May 1) to remember Odin's sacrifice on Yggdrasil, the tree of life. On the ninth day, Odin saw the runes, died, and since all light left the world, at midnight, the bonfires are lit to celebrate the return of the light and Odin's rebirth.
