St Walpurga was an Anglo-Saxon saint born in Devon who carried out missionary work in Germany. Her day, 1st May, celebrates the translation of her relics to Eichstatt, Bavaria. The relics are said to exude an oil that cures illnesses, though analysis of the 'oil' has shown it to just be water. Walpurga is also said to protect against black magic, leading to the idea that Walpurgis Night (30th April) is a time when witches and evil spirits are especially active, having a 'last fling'. On this date, people light bonfires and burn effigies to drive away these influences. Despite Walpurga's English origins, Walpurgis Night has not been as widely celebrated in England as on the Continent. There are, however, a few exceptions. In Lincolnshire, people hung up cowslips to ward off evil while in Herefordshire trays of moss were left out for fairies to dance on. #FolkloreThursday #Folklore #history #saints #mythology #weird #gothic
