EDITORS COMMENTS
Walpurgis Night, also known as May Eve, is a traditional European pagan celebration held on April 30th, marking the beginning of May and the triumph of light over darkness. This image, an undated copy of an illustration from the H.P. Grime Collection at the History of Science Museum in Oxford, England (HPG/8/2/1, xli), offers a glimpse into the mystical and enchanting world of Walpurgis Night, specifically the legendary Bloksberg Tryst. The scene unfolds atop the Brocken mountain, a notorious site of witchcraft and demonic gatherings in European folklore. In the foreground, a woman, possibly a witch, is depicted flying through the night sky, her long hair streaming behind her as she clutches a broomstick. Above her, a demon, identified by his horns and trident, hovers menacingly. The trident, a symbol of the sea god Neptune, may represent the power of the elements and the wild, untamed forces of nature. The Bloksberg Tryst, or Walpurgis Night gathering, was believed to be a time when witches and demons would meet to engage in various occult practices, including the signing of pacts, the casting of spells, and the experimentation with forbidden knowledge. The historical significance of these gatherings is a subject of ongoing debate among historians and folklorists, with some suggesting they may have been a way for marginalized communities to assert their power and agency in a patriarchal society. Despite the fear and superstition surrounding these events, the image of Walpurgis Night and the Bloksberg Tryst continues to capture the imagination and fascinate us with its hints of the unknown, the magical, and the wise. This hauntingly beautiful illustration serves as a reminder of the enduring power of folklore and the human desire to explore the mysteries of the natural world and the unknown.
