They are! And Walpurgisnacht is also associated with another Saint we're going to be covering very soon on Patreon! we're going to cover the "Freakin Holy Family" of Willibald, Winnebald, Walburga and their parents!
I didn't realize that All Saints Day had been moved from the 1st May, which is another liminal / witches and demon night with the night of the 30th April to the 1st May being Walpurgisnacht in Germanic lands. From a Pagan perspective Samhain and May Day are mirror images of each other in the sense of liminality.
