@ambivalena Nice story! Maybe a witch, but it looks more like a swallow or a kestrel in flight to me--kind of a scary big one too!

@meoralis It does look like a bird too, and yes I just got that explained in the thread underneath the image :) And this has the same origin that your party on the Brocken. We celebrate that to but more for the arrival of spring these days and in history to scare witches and evil spirits away with the fire.

@meoralis Ha ha ha, don't you just hate to be late ;-) Germany and Sweden have a lot of common origin folk tales, these are not the only onces :) And a lot of similarities in the language too :)

@meoralis Yes, you definately need more trolls and Huldra and Skogsrå and more. I don't know if you can translate these sites on wiki about Huldra and Skogsrå, but I hope so https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huldra https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skogsr%C3%A5et He he, well that is of course a totally different thing to see some words you recognize and to speak or read it :)

@ambivalena Incredible shot! That cloud really looks like a figure racing through the sky. Interestingly, here in Poland, especially in the Kashubian region, we have very similar legends about gatherings on Rowokół Mountain. It seems that witches know no borders and they all have a busy weekend ahead!
