    Walpurgisnacht (May 1) is the night of witches in Germanic tradition, the night of the Wild Hunt of the dead. The idea is to have a small feast based on the gruesome legends surrounding Theodoric's death and afterlife.

    - Unveiling of the Mausoleum of Theodoric 3d model, with related article on the building and/or the most horrifying legends.

    - Possibly, a game about the Wild Hunt. (In one version of his death, Theodoric was said to have joined the Wild Hunt together with other leaders such as King Arthur and Charlemagne.)

    - The posting of my translation of "La canzone di Teodorico" by Italian poet Giouse Carducci.

    Since Walpurgisnachs happens at the same time as Beltaine, I've contacted the Celts to be sure that there are no overlappings, and maybe to exchange ideas...
