fastnacht - alemannic carnival - is a wild time of archaic customs, of masks and costumes, of devils, demons and witches.
it's the time of the last uproar of winter, of evil spirits, and of the powers of darkness.
a time of drums and pipes, of wild and off-beat music, a time of dancing and leaping, raging and roaring.
it's the time when demons and witches roam the streets.
