Beltane: Fire on the Hill Beneath the Flower Moon | Folklore, Fairies and Old Warnings

What this episode covers

A little seasonal extra for Beltane!As Beltane arrives beneath the Flower Moon, we step into one of the oldest and strangest nights of the year, when fires were lit on the hills, doors were guarded, and the boundary between worlds was said to grow thin. From ancient May Day customs to warnings of fairies, wandering spirits, and voices in the dark, this is the folklore of a night once treated with both joy and caution.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://www.britannica.com/topic/Beltanehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beltanehttps://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/May-Day/https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/discover/history/customs-traditions/may-day-traditionshttps://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/full-moon-calendarhttps://www.almanac.com/full-moon-mayhttps://www.scotsman.com/heritage-and-retro/heritage/beltane-fire-festival-history-scotlands-ancient-celebration-of-summer-3699690https://www.visitscotland.com/info/events/beltane-fire-festival-p246341https://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/beltane-irish-festivalhttps://www.libraryireland.com/SocialHistoryAncientIreland/III-XVIII-1.phpThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on Sunday!Sarah xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
