April 30th, Walpurgisnacht, the date Führer, Adolf Hitler, departed this world in 1945.
A high Germanic pagan holiday akin to May Day in the British Isles, it traditionally involved a grand celebration in the Harz Mountains at the highest peak, the Brocken (pictured, note witches flying around mountaintop.)
Bonfires and merriment as well as seeking favour of the Goddesses and Gods were practiced. The veil between the realm of faeries and our world was seen as very thin during this festival from sunset April 30th to sunset May 1st.
Odin was said to have perished on this night after hanging nights from the Yggdrasil tree once he’d spied the runes, miraculously to be resurrected the following day.
According to Norseman’s Codex of Heathenism, “the day was a traditional summer holiday in many pre-Christian European pagan cultures. While February 1 was the first day of Spring, May 1 was the first day of summer; hence, the summer solstice on June 25 was Midsummer"

These are not merely emotional residues. They are archetypes, living symbols that shape perception, action, destiny. Among these, Wotan, the storm god of the Germanic world, had long slumbered. But not peacefully.
“Wotan is a restless wanderer,” Jung wrote, “who creates unrest and stirs up strife.” He is not an idea. He is a force. And like a buried current, he surged again into the open air, possessed a man, and through him a nation. This was not a metaphor. It was not poetic license. It was, in Jung’s eyes, an eruption of the collective unconscious, a revelation of what lies beneath the mask of civilization.
The age of progress had promised liberation. But something ancient had been repressed to buy that comfort. The old gods, driven out by the Christian Church and sealed beneath layers of Enlightenment reason, had not vanished. They had only withdrawn. And what is repressed returns, often with violence. (ibid)

In his animism book, Graham Harvey notes that in the Ojibwe language, things which bestow wisdom and blessings are given the title of “grandfather”, which includes people, spirits, gods, and even stories.
Interestingly enough, as per the Rígsþula, the name Edda means great grandmother.

The gods do not die. They are forgotten, buried beneath layers of habit and history, but they do not die. They retreat into shadow, and wait.
Carl Jung understood this better than most. In 1936, he wrote what remains one of the most dangerous and revealing essays of the twentieth century: “Wotan.” Not a political tract, nor a condemnation or endorsement, but a psychological diagnosis. What had seized Germany in the years following the First World War, what had lifted a broken nation into frenzied unity, was not the product of economic distress or even political genius. It was something older. Something primal. The return of a god.
To modern ears, the language is foreign. We are taught that history moves forward, that the past is behind us. That gods are metaphors, and myths are fiction. Jung rejected this illusion. He believed that the human psyche is not modern. Beneath our rational minds lie older strata: ancestral, tribal, animal. (source)

A clay tablet was found in Hohenstein, Lower Saxony, in the 16th Century with a likely depiction of Ostara. Hohenstein was an important cult site since the early Iron Age, and the use of the Younger Futhark suggests an age of around the 8th Century. She is depicted with horns, a drinking horn or cornucopia, and what may be a bird. The location of the original is unknown, only sketches survive. The incomplete inscription reads;
“You go out, that’s Osta, loosen icy frosts…
You good Osta, from your face shines…”
“thu ga ut thatr os ta louse isin frosta
dhu gautar osta, ous il sin grosta”

🇸🇪 Glad Valborg!
Pictured: a witch going to Blåkulla (witches fly there on this night in Swedish folklore).
The artwork in the church (Knutby) is probably not by the great Albertus Pictor, but is at least inspired by his work.

Divine Northerners
"For all of recorded history, people have told myths and stories of others living in the far-off lands of the north. These would have been based on actual experience with these mysterious and striking people, some of whom would have traveled south. Hardened to the rigorous climate, intrepid, smart, and able to construct civilizations and cultures, it is no wonder that such people took on a mythic quality. And their striking physical appearance came to be the visible sign of such a noble personage. In this way, blue eyes, blondness, and very white skin came to be seen as good, rare, desirable, and beautiful—perhaps divinely-inspired, perhaps godly.
When it came to formalizing the official gods and myths of the various European cultures, then, it is unsurprising to find that the southern Europeans, in particular, would construct their gods and heroes in the image of these divine northerners. This is reflected, very explicitly, in their writings." (Occidental Observer 1-26-2022)

“Several districts of Lower Saxony and Westphalia have until quite recently preserved vestiges of holy oaks, to which the people paid a half heathen half christian homage.
In Minden, on Easter Sunday, the young people used with loud cries of joy to dance a reigen (rig, circular dance) round an old oak.
In a thicket near the village of Wormeln, Paderborn, stands a holy oak, to which the inhabitants of Wormeln and Calenberg still make a solemn procession every year.”

“The wisdom of Othin is not as kindly as the wisdom of Solomon.“
"These words were used by Henry Goddard Leach in his book 'A Pageant of Old Scandinavia' to describe the Hávamál. Let me take you on a journey to understand one of the richest texts in all Norse literature. The Hávamál has achieved a certain fame in modern times. Often billed as a “Viking code of ethics,” this description does little justice to the contents of the poem itself.
The Old Norse name Hávamál is a compound of Hávi, which is one of Odin's names ('High One'), and the plural noun mál (from older mǫ́l), and means 'Song (or Words) of the High One'. Listen to the following, which is a vocal rendition of Hávamál 156 by Heilung in their song “Othan”... (pictured: 13th century Codex Regius) (continued at source)

What Jung saw in the rise of National Socialism was not a political program. It was an awakening. Not a renewal of reason, but its opposite: the storm. A mythic reassertion of the buried spirit of a people. A reckoning with the shadow they had refused to integrate. That shadow had a name. Wotan. (ibid) (pdf)
