More about Valborg - Walpurgis Night

The ideas about ghosts, witches, and mysterious beings during Walpurgis Night come from older European folklore, especially from Germanic and Nordic traditions.
People believed that during the transition from winter to spring, the boundary between worlds became thinner—between:

• light and darkness
• winter and summer
• life and death
• the human world and the spirit world

Because of this, it was thought that:

• witches flew through the night
• evil spirits and ghosts moved more freely
• supernatural forces were especially active

In German folklore, witches were said to gather on the Brocken mountain (in the Harz mountains) during “Walpurgis Night” to celebrate with the devil. This became one of the strongest legends connected to the night.
That is one reason why people lit huge bonfires:
🔥 to scare away witches
🔥 to protect animals and crops
🔥 to cleanse the old energy of winter
🔥 to invite fertility, warmth, and good fortune
So originally, the fire was not just symbolic—it was seen as real protection.
Today in Sweden, Valborg is mostly joyful and social—spring songs, bonfires, students, friends, and wine—while the witches and ghosts remain more as old folklore and stories.
In simple terms:
People once believed the fire kept darkness away—both outside and inside.

The goal of the Practical Philosophy Club is to create a community that discusses ideas that can be used practically in everyday life.

Our discussions help us develop the following:

Critical Thinking / Discernment - through our conversational exploration, we question our own beliefs, and hear perspectives that can help us develop new insights. This exploration can carry into our assumptions in everyday life and help us develop.

Communication - By sharing our thoughts, we are developing our communication ability, and learning how to share in a way that is understandable and accessible to people who may not have the same belief.

Community - By having our discussions focused on a specific topic each week, we are able to get to know each other beyond small talk. There’s also time before and after the meetup to dive deeper with the other attendees. 🙌

Most importantly, we are a group that values community and care for one another.

We meet each week in various places throughout the world. To learn more about our community, see our open events, or join one of our groups around the world, visit our website: https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/
