The linked Twitter account has been locked (probably just overnight as a precaution) but the 2nd link from Helleofabore is working.

I loved the original witches' dance, and I really love this.

Thanks for the tip Athena.

Here is some back history.

www.amandalinettemeder.com/blog/witch-dance-the-wolfshger-hexenbrut-peter-fox-and-the-new-dance-craze

at the end of April, the women of Wolfshäger Hexenbrut (in English: The Wolf Hunter's Coven), located in Wolfshagen im Harz, Germany, do something a little different.

They get together to celebrate Walpurgis, a holiday celebrating fertility, celebrations including lots of dancing, foods, and drinking, which usually occurs every year on April 30th.

However, in 2016, their celebrations included a choreographed dance to Schüttel deinen Speck, in English: Shake Your Bacon, by German Reggae-Pop artist, Peter Fox, in 2008

After their video took off, it made waves all around the world.

Their 'Witch Dance' was then picked up by various different covens, pagan groups and Halloween celebrations all over the world, becoming particularly popular with US-based groups.

I remember someone (possibly on here) showing the original witch dance to this song. I loved it then, love it even more now. The ladies, sorry, the witches in Glasgow have done us all proud!

I'd love to see similar protests around the UK. I have put a shout out on Twitter to see if anyone in Cardiff fancies doing the dance with me 😁

BoreOfWhabylon · 31/10/2021 23:12

Fantastic!

We need massive flash mobs doing this all over the country. And when it gets to the chorus, instead of "Schuettel Deinen Speck", all shout "WOMEN WON'T WHEESHT!"'

WallaceinAnderland · 31/10/2021 23:11

REPENT MOTHERFUCKER!!!

Surely this should be REPENT BODYWITHACERVIXFUCKER!!!

I've met the Scottish Witches a couple of times in my trips up to Glasgow this summer and I can tell you, they are such an inspiring group of women! Strong, resolute, passionate, committed and creative. They also have such a strong sense of community and have inspired my own group to be much more active. Bloody love them!

Igneococcus · 31/10/2021 21:27

Peter Fox "Schuettel Deinen Speck" (shake your bacon/fat, roughly translated)

Helleofabore · 31/10/2021 21:26

I didn’t recognise the music. I did wonder though what it was.

Igneococcus · 31/10/2021 21:24

It took me half the video to notice that song is in German.

thinkingaboutLangCleg · 31/10/2021 21:17

Fantastic! Fun, clever, witty — and the TRAs as always respond with sullen threats and abuse. I also love the advice, to someone saying they’re ashamed to be Glaswegian now, that they may want to identify as trans-Edinburgh before the Christmas performance!

Scottish sisters, you have made an aged witch down in England get up and dance xx
