Cool discussion--if I'm not mistaken Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" was originally titled "Walpurgis Nacht"--

I didn't know that. I've been killing Sabbath lately. The medleys from their first album never get old.

Yeah its funny how things change, the 1st time I ever saw the cover to that LP I was a kid, maybe 8 or 9--thumbing through my uncles Motley Crue and other hair metal stuff--I saw that album and it scared me half to death.

So ahead of its time, even the cover art--you can almost not put your finger on whats going on but there is such an element of creepy--doomy--scarieness going on--then you hear it and it just sucks you into its universe.

This night passed without notice. No witches or demons. Walpurgis Night, I know Halloween. I'm friends with Halloween. Walpurgis, you're no Halloween.

I stuck a lit candle in my skull and walked around the yard with it

LOL!!! Not weird at all

! Sounds like something my 40 year old nephew & I would do (with a pint or two to get through the night). My wife & I were just saying, we ought to start a pumpkin patch in our spooky backyard. It's a HUGE yard with lots of creepy trees & bushes, plus a small fire pit that looks like the entrance to Hell (

).

LOL the pints make everything less weird.

In all seriousness--if you have a backyard like that, you really do have some possibilities!

Sounds like partytime at UP's place! (with the OK from Mrs. Primate of course!)

BTW, pints always make everything cool...

I for one love Walpurgis. I knocked back a few hemlock brews on old Brocken Mountain and am just NOW recovering from last Friday night's unholy revelry! (... but I agree, it's still no Halloween).

Penny Dreadful has an open invitation to celebrate Walpurgis Night in U.P.'s pumpkin patch, along with BL & BL35, next year!

Sir Masksalot · April 30, 2022, 09:43:42 AM

Let the rites begin!

Here's wishing you all an evening of fun and frolic.

Hepcat · April 30, 2022, 12:57:27 PM

I'm all for it!

So does anyone have any plans for broom rides, bonfires or frolicking with friendly wicca this evening?
