    Interesting! Bealtaine sounds more like "Valborg" that we celebrated yesterday, Apr 30 (also with the idea of welcoming the Spring) and not Midsommar which is celebrated later in June.

    The book Cattle Lord's and Clansmen gave me a great historical perspective with culture, agriculture and customs. Have you read it? Btw: love your content! GRMA.

    What I love most about the old celtic calendar is that it shows how the people of the past saw the world in circular way rather than the way we look at things today with clear beginning middle and end. Everything in the celtic mindset was circular part of an ongoing pattern with no clear beginning middle or end everything's part of a cycle a loop that never ends. Even the prophecy given by the morrigan about the end of the world wasn't really the end of all things but the end of this world and the beginning of a new cycle. (or at least some sources suggest.)

    Thanks for this! It's very interesting and informative. I love the pronunciation .I often think about the days getting shorter around the summer solstice. Although, in North Texas, the summer is a very different thing here. Lol.

    So it’s nothing like what Marion Zimmer Bradley depicted in Mists of Avalon? It was my first exposure to Bealtaine, or Beltane as she wrote it, and I didn’t know it was Irish in origin. Now I’m happy to know the truth of this part of my heritage.

    Thank you, this has been most insightful. I follow the old calendar and the old Gods. The god of the desert peoples is not natural to the Celts. The Sun returns to us, life will go on.

    Ha! The only tradition my family has is drink and drugs. No they left all of that behind when they left Ireland. I liked watching this video because you're not any type of archeologist, you're Irish that's better.
