Ivoryton Witches Dance

[@hebneh]

Just totally by chance, a group of women in a German village that celebrates Walpurgisnacht - which is in the spring and isn't Halloween - did this dance to this German song for tourists, and it suddenly became an international fad / sensation. And as seen here, women in the USA are still mimicking the amusing and enjoyable German original, years later!

So why do they do it around Halloween? I just found these and I love the music. Some do the dance a little differently but still like to watch.

[@hebneh]

Women do this dance on Halloween because virtually nobody celebrates Walpurgis Night, or even knows it exists, while millions of people in the USA observe Halloween which has then spread internationally.

This is all most like something out of a Disney movie. Things are very very different in the far west of the UK. Thing are more based on paganism going back thousands of years there still 1000s of pagan sites known by locals and often keptsecret. Some of them the air temperature will literally drop as you enter so from 28 to 16

Paganism going back 1000's of years alive and well in the 'far west of the UK'. 1000's of secret pagan sites known only to locals. Really?

Not traditional at all.... seems more like something someone dreamt up after seeing some Disney film.
