From Germanic Heathenry A Practical Guide:
Walburganaht [Walburga Frouwa’s Night] also: Wælburges, origin of May Day / May Eve.
Walburganaht is one of the most runic -or mysterious- nights within the Irminic year. Walburganaht is long remembered from times of old as a witches’ holiday, one particularly devoted to the patroness of witches, Walburga Frouwa. According to custom, the witches congregate in the mountains and hills, somewhere outside of the town or city, under the full glory of Mano. Balefires are once again lit, as they are on Osatarun preceding. There are a multitude of folk-customs which have come down to us from as early as the late Heathen/early Christian age which have survived in the form of superstitions, normally in forms that detail the warding of one’s self, home, and crops from the workings of the wondrous women. These obviously stem from post-Heathen sensibilities, though they do reflect the sheer power and pure, awesome might of the tide! On Walburganaht, the intensity and might of the Goddess permeates throughout the dark hours, and is furthered in the collective workings of the gathered witch-hosts. All manner of magical operations are especially potent on this night, and the visions/dreams which come to Heathen during this time are especially significant or foretelling (pg. 109)!
Frouwa, most lovely of all goddesses; who could not love you? Women as their own inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa that resides in us all!

A sixteenth I speak if a maid is reluctant,
To wake her lust and desire;
I change the heart of the delightful woman,
Then to me her wishes turn.
Lust/desire, seduction, reluctance, influence, second thoughts, a change of heart, the waxing and waning moon, lunar-like mutability of the feminine essence, the error-rune, conquering resistance through confusion, eventual perfection, Female mysteries, roots of the World Column, well grounded, the carrier of genetic material, God-woman, femininity, desire, sensual love, passion, perfection, Mother, chaos from which creation emerges, female principle in the Cosmos, the night, death and instinct, anger, falsehood, error and the oppositions found in humankind, mystical union, night, moon, well grounded, roots of Irminsul from which all life springs, woman as the opposite/balance to man, the descending Divine Feminine being.
“Think about the end” (List, 63).
*H3R4; Halbdutzend 3, root 4, Irminsul’s root of re-creation

Rune Lesson: Divine wisdom is acquired by fire and testing. It NEVER comes easily. There is always a price to be paid for it. However, we can take the acquisition of knowledge and use it in our favor. We can play life’s game of seduction and influence. We can intellectually force someone into having second thought about a decision they, or even WE have made. We have the power to change our own minds with new information. That’s not a bad thing.

Back on the duplicators @ work. First thing I was hit with a hot order that someone had previously scrapped, which made no sense because it was so simple; channel material with a single joggle. Nonetheless, I was told that all eyes are on this order. I got it finished and moved it on. I notified my trainer, lead and manager that it was done.

Jan was right to question what the ancestors might think if I did something for Walpurgisnacht around the ancestors’ table. After all, it IS dealing with Witches and they are quite the Mennonite bunch. PERHAPS the Reimer ancestors MIGHT be a bit more liberal, but certainly NOT the Schmidt ancestors. So, in order to keep the peace, I’m opting to just mark the day and call it good I didn’t have anything planned in advance around Agathagart.
