It's an ancient tradition in Denmark to light huge bonfires on midsummer's eve to ward off evil, but in the 1920's people started placing a witch made of cloth and straw on the bonfire. It's believed that the bonfire will give her an extra magical push that'll help her fly all the way to the Brocken mountain in the Harz region of Germany where she can party with all her witch friends.
Nobody knows for sure, but it's speculated that the idea to place a witch on the bonfire was a suggested by German workers in Denmark, and that's why they fly to Germany.
@RandomDent @Packless wait, so the sexy bisexual tomboy Denmark witch we have here (uh actually Humon is consciously trying to make sis Denmark look unsexy in boyishness, she's jsut not succeeding very well) is gonna have interesting adventures on the mountain they sent her too? GOOD
Let me get this straight:
1. You build a huge fire,
2. You throw a witch into it.
3. This supposedly "helps" her fly across the mountain where she gets to have a party with all of her witchy friends.
Does this not sound like a BS story you were told as a small child because your parents didn't want to explain to you that they were honoring a long-cherished tradition of torturing unpopular women to death?
