babu: god Sankte Hans eller Valburg (Valborg? ) http://youtube.com/watch?v=ojqvlQQBPE8 (the midsummer song in the original version ) The Shubidua version http://youtube.com/watch?v=zZUDj9XbmaE I know. It is the same here, but Valborg/valburg/Valburgh (sp ?) is the Swedish and the pagan name. In Norway, I believe they hold it on Monday.
I was up at 4am this morning and it was beautiful. The only problem being that as the months pass into Winter again, I know I'll be getting up at 4am to travel down to London in the pitch dark, cold, miserable, rain, snow... bah! Enjoy it whilst we have it!
I stand corrected, a Swedish friend I have has told me this. Valborg (correct spelling this time) is on the 30. of April. Midsummer was last Friday, but both of them are Pagan.
