Beltane History, the Scorpio Full Moon & What the Church Tried to Erase (Witch Era)
from Delusional Bitch Juice · host Heather Nations
After a long break and several rebrands later, DBJ is back, but as Delusional WITCH Juice starting with this episode about the real history of one of the oldest festivals in the Celtic calendar: where the name comes from (scholars genuinely still debate this), why the fires had to be made by friction, what the Romans were doing at the exact same time (strip shows — yes, really), and why cultures across Europe with no contact with each other all landed on the same answer to "what do you do when spring peaks?" Then: the Scorpio Full Moon peaks at 11 degrees Scorpio on May 1st at 1:23 PM EDT, and we need to talk about what it means when the most intense lunar event of the year lands on one of the two days the veil is already considered thin.In this episode:The Celtic fire festival the Church tried to suppress — and why the bonfires kept going anywayWhy May 2026 has two full moons, and what the double veil thinning on May 1st actually meansWhat you can actually do on Beltane (including why an evening walk counts, and why I'm not responsible for any divorces)New episodes every week.
