For those who’re confused what’s going on. These aren’t peasant women. Meteņi are like fertility beings. In Latvian traditions we usually spank each other with branches even to this day in Catholic traditions. And usually say words like “Health inside, sickness outside”. And this whole dressing up thing is called Ķekatas/Čigāni/Budēļi which takes place in Meteņi celebrations (basically Latvian midwinter).

[@andrisrikmanis9982]

"Slimību ārā, veselību iekšā, apaļš kā pūpolīts, vesels kā rutks!" per ar pūpoliem pūpolsvētdienā un tie ir kristiešu svētki. Pēršanu ar pūpoliem, olu krāsošanu un šūpošanos viņi ir palienējuši no mums. Mūsu svētki ir Meteņi, Lieldienas, Ūsiņi, Jāņi, Jumji (dažviet Māras), Apjumības, Mārtiņi un Ziemassvētki

[@PavelDGromnic]

Budēļi ir auglības gari. To mītnes vieta ir labības lauki. Rudeņos, ar īpašiem Jumja ķeršanas rituāliem šos auglības garus labības pļāvēji liek gulēt, bet Meteņos - pavasara sākumā - modina augšā. Budēļi pavēsta par pavasara tuvošanos un modina auglības spēkus cilvēkos un zemē. Budēļos iet tikai vīrieši, jo viņi ir tie, kas laukus apar, apsēj un kopj. Meteņos budēļi staigā no mājas uz māju, no sētas uz sētu, no lauka uz lauku, ceļā veicot dažādas rituālas darbības, un ar to palīdzību svētot un darot auglīgus laukus, lopus un māju iemītniekus. Budēļu masku veido uz otru pusi izvēršot aitādas kažoku. Galvā liek īpašu konusveida labības salmu cepuri, no kuras malām uz leju nokarājas ēveļu skaidas vai drēbes strēmeles. Rokās budēļiem ir nūjas - trokšņa taisīšanai, kā arī dzīpariem pušķotas zaru buntes, bet pie jostas piesiets zvans, burkāns un divi sīpoli. Budēļu uzdevums, ieejot mājā, ir nopērt jaunās meitas ar auglības rīksti, apdziedāt tās, kā arī spēkoties ar mājiniekiem. Meitas per tik ilgi, kamēr tās atpērkas ar cimdiem vai iesien auglības rīkstē dzīparu vai prievīti. Tās, kas dabū budēļa pērienu, visu gadu ir stipras un veselas, auglīgas - viņām izdodas visi iesāktie darbi, kā arī ir pamatota cerības rudenī iziet pie vīra. Budēļus mājinieki gaida, vienmēr pacienā, jo uzskata, ka līdz ar budēļiem mājās un laukos ienāk svētība, tiek aktivizēts auglības un dzīvības spēks. Budēļiem projām ejot, mājas iemītnieki tos kārtīgi pabaro un dod līdzi cienastus. Enerģijas apmaiņai ir jānotiek! Šī senā zemgales tradīcija - budēļos iešana - bija gandrīz aizmirsta. Bet pateicoties folkloras kopai “Grodi” un ģeologam, dabas un kultūras pētniekam Viktoram Grāvītim, XX gadsimta deviņdesmitajos gados, budēļi atkal atdzima Latvijā. Ik gadu Latvijas folkloras biedrības rīkotajos starptautiskajos masku tradīciju festivālos Grodu budēļi nes svētību un modina pavasari. Nu jau ir modušies arī šīs tradīcijas turpinātāji zemgalē. Paldies folkloras kopas “Grodi” budēļiem par iespēju iejusties Budēļu maskās un padomiem tradīcijas iepazīšanas procesā! Paldies viesmīlīgajiem “Ruķeļu” māju saimniekiem Jurim un Dainai Zalāniem par Budēļu uzņemšanu un cienāšanu! Video režija: Kaspars Bārbals, Gatis Indrēvics Montāža: Kaspars Bārbals, Gatis Indrēvics, Ēriks Kukutis Operatori: Gatis Indrēvics, Ēriks Kukutis Mūzika: Auļi - Metens Producents: Studija „Lauska” Filmēšanā piedalījās: Auļu budēļi: Kaspars Indrēvics, Edgars Krūmiņš, Gatis Valters, Normuns Vaivads, Māris Jēkabsons, Kaspars Bārbals, Einārs Cintiņš Mājinieki: Leanne Barbo, Jānis Jasjukevičs, Justīne Jasjukeviča, Janta Jasjukeviča, Gunta Siliņa - Jasjukeviča, Katrīna Valtere, Daina Zalāne, Juris Zalāns, Miķelis Zalāns. Budēļi are spirits of fertility who are said to live in the grain fields. In autumn, farmers perform special rituals to catch Jumis, the god of fertility, and put him to bed for the winter. At the Meteņi celebration in February they wake him up again. The arrival at this celebration of budēļi - masked figures related to mummers who wake the fertility in the soil and people- signifies that spring is nearing. Only men dress as budēļi, because they are the ones who plough, plant and tend to the fields. At Meteņi, budēļi go from house to house, from farm to farm, from field to field, performing various rituals along the way, thereby bringing blessings and fertility to the fields, livestock and people. The typical budēļi mask/costume is a fur coat turned inside out. They wear special cone-shaped straw hats decorated with wood shavings or strips of cloth hanging down over their faces. They carry bunches of sticks and branches decorated with colourful bits of yarn as well as large staffs or walking sticks to make noise. They hang a bell or a carrot and two onions from their belts. When entering a house, budēļi sing and comment about all of the girls and young women in the household and use their bunches of sticks (signifying fertility) to give them spankings. They also perform various games to test the vigour of the people in the household. The spankings continue until the young women buy their freedom with a pair of mittens or by tying ribbons or yarn onto the bunch of sticks. Those who receive spankings are said to enjoy health, vitality and fertility for the entire coming year - all of their work will bring fruitful results, and there is even great hope that the young women will find husbands in the autumn. People eagerly await the budēļi in their homes and offer them many tasty treats, because budēļi bring blessings to a home and fields and activate the life force. When it comes time for the budēļi to move on, the hostess gives them foods to take along. After all, an exchange of energy must take place. AuliEtnotranss

This pagan tradition with decorated branches and whipped girls with them is exactly the same as our tradition in the Czech Republic at Easter (basically it is a pagan solstice feast, but as always replaced by Christians), when girls are whipped by "pomlázka", which is also branch with colored threads! They are whipped in the sense of staying pretty and healthy, does it have the same meaning in this video? It is also very pleasant to see that these pagan traditions are still with us everywhere.

Have you ever seen Czech Easter? With pomlázka and so on? It only shows that we are much closer than with other nations. Us and Baltics. We even shared most of our Pantheon. Its fertility celebration. The colours of ribbons had a role in our national tradition too. Untill christianity cut it short :-D .... You see in the morning the guys are going all arround villgaes and towns, visiting girls. They have to sing, or recite to perform for them and they have to chase them. Girls are free to run or test their agility and speed as they see fit by running and hiding. When the girl is caught, she is gently slapped by the young willow staff wrapped from multiple colorfull rods. To transfer the lives energy from the rod to them. Then the girl rewards you by food, an egg as a symbol, we paint those eggs, alcohol and ribbon. Red ribbon ment that you will get laid in the evening and that the girl has chosen you for some merry action. Blue, yellow and green also have meaning. I just dont remember which one means "go to hell ugly!" She could have chosen more guys. After 12:00 the girls chase guys who over done it with alcohol. They pour buckets of ice cold water on them. To punish them for their stupid behaviour in the morning or lazyness. In the evening... and that part has been cut off... was the feast, dancing and generally, enjoing with ... gilrs that chose you arround that large fire and everywhere you could. And this basicaly looks like a mix of our holly days. 5.12. - Devil and St. Nicholas (originaly celtic) about devils with Horns and clad in fur. Also it looks like our Masopust (end of winter, february - a masquerade, somethhing like Haloween but not abotu dead, we have "The Souls" instead) and our Easter.

Remembering that I was so afraid when they yelled, cried and playing harmonica, now 30yrs passed and there is nothing. Absolutely nothing. No Farsangs, no Mikulás (Nicolaus and the Krampus), no Jézuska (Christkind), no Luca or suprálás and every christian or folk customs ceased to exist. Like we are nothing or without roots(?)... Now most of my neighbours are AH's from the capital, if I try to wish to someone a happy new year in the traditional way, they probably call the cops on me.

Would love to create a tree & bee sanctuary & have a festival every 2 years to celebrate life, nature & existence, i would have them there playing, + American Indians with their pan pipes etc, Chinese music etc, artists with their own style of art, everyone happy, creating amazing energy, to send out into the universe & effect mother earth & others in a positive way 💙🌏

Красивая реализация Колядных игрищ, у нас на Полессье похожие традиции, и морковка с луком тоже присутствует и личины, по археологическим данным когда в Турове искали 1000 церквей (по лживой изТории) нашли большое капище и потихому все замолчали и тд
