  • Walpurgis Night
rdfs:comment
  • For a compilation of historical, mythological, and literary information concerning Walpurgisnacht (ワルプルギスの夜 Warupurugisu no Yoru, Night of Walpurgis), a term first mentioned by Homura in Episode 6.
  • Walpurgis Night was a Santa Cruz band that performed in schools, coffee houses and at various small festivals around the bay area, including the Solano Stroll and many events at UC Santa Cruz. In Spring 2003 they took a week and a half long tour with The Technicolor Sound into northern California, Oregon and Washington, performing at coffee shops, schools and radio stations.
  • The night is held on the middle of the night on the last day of April, when witches and the leader of the demons hold a banquet. It is said to have been derived from a festival held on May 1st, celebrating St. WalpurgisWP, an 8th century missionary. This saint was later confused with the pagan goddess of fertility, Waltburg, and so the night came to be known as the one when witches and demons were the most active. But initially this was the day they celebrated St. Walpurgis' relics being transferred to the German town of EichstättWP.
  • The oft mentioned and generally popular quasi religious festival, Walpurgis Night is a cult descended from a German Witch ceremony celebrating summer on May 1. Rumours of a bi-annual event are in the offing with the recent New Age acquisition of several English towns. Corporate concerns are the chief purpose of the celebration today and it has been reported that several media conglomerates are planning a takeover. Tom Cruise has also announced that the Church of Scientology would like to purchase the copyrights for the event.

  • For a compilation of historical, mythological, and literary information concerning Walpurgisnacht (ワルプルギスの夜 Warupurugisu no Yoru, Night of Walpurgis), a term first mentioned by Homura in Episode 6.
  • The oft mentioned and generally popular quasi religious festival, Walpurgis Night is a cult descended from a German Witch ceremony celebrating summer on May 1. Rumours of a bi-annual event are in the offing with the recent New Age acquisition of several English towns. Initially religious significance was ascribed to the festival along with occult leanings; however the movement has survived several eras through sponsorship right up to the present day. Universality of many areas has been present though all the changes including a Bonfire and there is a refusal to acknowledge the celebration prior to the advent of the Gregorian calendar. Corporate concerns are the chief purpose of the celebration today and it has been reported that several media conglomerates are planning a takeover. Tom Cruise has also announced that the Church of Scientology would like to purchase the copyrights for the event.
