Join local historian Dr. Ned Heindel to explore the history and practices of\u00a0Walpurgisnacht, \u201cthe Night of the Witches.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perhaps no occult event in Germanic and Western European folklore has received\u00a0more\u00a0attention than\u00a0Walpurgisnacht, the\u00a0all-night party of witches, Satan, and demons\u00a0that takes place each April 30 to celebrate the devil\u2019s birthday.\u00a0Dr. Heindel will discuss the history of this night including an 1850s incident documented by Matthew Henry, a Northampton County teacher, historian, author, and map-maker, who claimed to have witnessed a\u00a0Walpurgisnacht\u00a0ritual on\u00a0Hexenkopf\u00a0Rock.<\/p>\n
Dr. Heindel will also sign copies of his popular book,\u00a0Hexenkopf: History, Healing, and Hexerei\u00a0following the afternoon\u2019s program. Books are available for purchase in the Sigal Museum Store.<\/p>\n
