#WyrdWednesday #LegendaryWednesday: `The #druids used their great magic (chants) to make two beneficial fires with healing flames at #Beltane. The herds were brought to these fires every year against epidemics. They made the herds pass between them.` 1/2
At last came the golden month of the wild folk-- honey-sweet May, when the birds come back, and the flowers come out, and the air is full of the sunrise scents and songs of the dawning year. Art by Theresa Tanner #MayDay #WyrdWednesday #bookchatweekly
“The close analogy with folklore and rites in Britain, Germany, Scandinavia and even India suggests that the origin of the #Godiva story and procession lies in pagan myth and ritual rather than in an act by the historic Countess Godiva.” #WyrdWednesday british-history.ac.uk/vch/warks/vol8…
"A man dresses in woman's clothes follows at the end of the procession, taking the part of the morris-dancers' "Bessy." The crown worn is a modern substitute for "a bonnet & the oldest shawl that could be found."" Customs of the World, D.H. Moutray Read, 1900. #WyrdWednesday #May
@bearz1066 @BexhillObs @WyrdWednesday Thank you. Sometimes those Hastings May Queens were really Bexhillians at heart! @BexhillObs 18.4.1953. #WyrdWednesday #MayQueen
#WyrdWednesday #Beltane #MayDay Morris dancers perform this old folk dance that first appears in records in England from the 15th century. Morris dancing involves rhythmic stepping by a group of dancers using implements such as sticks & hand kerchiefs during Beltane in the UK
Many thanks to @CWReeve for the last round of this #WyrdWednesday's Beltane-themed oddities! It's @RGeirsson's turn now to spread the season's fertility and flames and whatever other facets of Celtic lore might strike your fancy...
#WyrdWednesday #LegendaryWednesday: `The meaning 'Bel-Fire' possibly refers to the god Belenus (Helmut Birkhan „#Kelten“).` After Epona, he was the #Celtic deity most frequently mentioned by ancient authors in Gaul, Noricum, Illyria, Britain and Ireland. #Beltane

🍀🔥🍀Before the Beltane bonfires were kindled, all local hearths would be doused and afterwards relit with brands taken home from the sacred fires, to bring protection, good fortune and fertility into the households. #WyrdWednesday #LegendaryWednesday
The fair maid who, the first of May, Goes to the fields at break of day, And washes in dew from the hawthorn tree, Will ever after handsome be. 🎨The Fair Maid -Arthur Rackham redbubble.com/people/forgott… #WyrdWednesday #art #folklore #illustration #MayDay #Spring #Beltane
#WyrdWednesday Legend has it when snow first appeared it had no color and it asked the flowers for help. The only flower who offered their color was the Snowdrop. In return, the snow gave it protection to bloom in the cold which is why they are the first to appear during spring.
Every cycle there's a battle between the god of winter and the sun god. Samhain beats Belenus in the winter, but Belenus wins each year at Beltane, bringing summer. redbubble.com/people/forgott… #WyrdWednesday #Beltane #art #wallartprints #decor #folklore #MayDay #GothicSpring
Not exactly something that commemorates fertility or the return of brighter days (since it occurs in the depths of winter darkness), but Up Helly Aa in Shetland in January is still quite the fire festival. #WyrdWednesday
People were keen to please the fairies, known in Gaelic as the aos sí, who were believed to be particularly mischievous around Beltane and Samhain. The fairies were “supposed then to possess the power and inclination to do all sorts of mischief #WyrdWednesday 🧵
#WyrdWednesday On #MayDay in the Cambridgeshire Fens it was once the custom to keep all boats moored, as it was believed that any who went out fishing today would encounter the ghosts of all the dead fenmen who had ever lived 🎨'Borders of Wicken Fen' by Robert Farren, 1882
The Manx celebration of Beltane/Beltain/Bealtain, known locally as Yn Voaldyn, was an important part of the rural calendar that still has customs associated with it. It was a time when the fertility and safety of households was celebrated. #WyrdWednesday 🧵

'Fire, they cried, so evil must die. And yields are good, so men pull back hoods and smile. The scapegoat blood spilled, spittled and grilled. It crackled and spat, and children grew fat on the meat.' Song - Sacrificial Bonfire by XTC #WyrdWednesday #MayDay #Beltane #XTC 🎨 by me
At Beltaine, the ancient Gaelic used bonfires and their ashes for protection: for people, for livestock, and for homes. People and animals would walk through fires to ward off spirits, and houses were adorned with fire-like flowers and ash, all in prep for growing. #WyrdWednesday
The salubrious part of London known as Mayfair takes it's name from the week long fair granted by Edward I to Saint James Hospital. Offering 'every low pleasure' it grew ever larger and more riotous, before being discontinued as a public scandal after 1764. #WyrdWednesday
