Beltane Celebrations Glastonbury 2019

Beltane Celebrations - Glastonbury - 1st May 2019

[@feralphantom]

This actually made me cry. I can't even imagine how it would feel to be surrounded by people who have the same beliefs and wouldn't treat me like a freak

[@bluckpeter]

Thank you Brandi.

[@johnbohannon9278]

That is very sad to hear, I hope you find what you are looking for. Dont let anyone make you feel as if you need to change, stay strong in your beliefs.

[@hajra637]

I wish I was there😭❤️

[@PandoraNYC1]

Dear Brandi, please know that you are NOT alone. We are everywhere. We may be secret, but we are here and are numbers are growing like wildfire. The day is soon approaching when we will be able to freely and proudly walk in the sun with ours heads held high.

in this time of isolation this video lifts you up

[@LANCSKID]

Utter bollocks …

[@fitzieleigh]

I was smiling through this whole video, a bit sad that this year such gatherings are not possible for many. But this video brought so much joy to me.

[@pravinchandrapanchal1423]

I feel like their is lots of similarity between india rituals & rituals of pagan & beltane celebration & their fire ritual & it's mystical & magical celebrations.... so colourful & dance & food & fiesta.

[@allthenamesiwantedweretaken]

"May you never fast, Beltane blessings" This was one of the most beautiful shows of community I've ever seen.

[@DemonKitty666_]

Honestly makes me so proud to be pagan 🥰🥰

[@vinayaks7495]

So happy to see this , preserve your ancient culture , lots of love and respects from Kerala.

[@kaylynnanson6231]

What a glorious time to be alive! The old gods and old ways never died! May the whispers of the old ones become a triumphant cry of elation! Merry meet, everybody!

[@DominicA24]

Lol pagan larper

[@pagangwynne3627]

Sorry but the old gods and the 'old ways' There is nothing of the 'old ways' in any of this.

[@Wotsitorlabart]

​@@pagangwynne3627 Lots of made up nonsense.

[@tangoalpha1905]

@@pagangwynne3627 You sound particularly knowledgable on the subject. Except for the obvious incongruity of a diversity homo writhing on the may-pole, what are the old ways, if not those depicted in the video?

[@eddielee6490]

Without giving away my age too much but the Maypole dance and celebration was once popular here in the U.S. and was sometimes seen in the schoolyard. However certain organized religions [cough cough ] considered it served no purpose and time has let this wonderful time of play and celebration slip into the past.But today with many people returning , myself included, to a more realistic and basic belief system. Pagans and Wiccans rise and organize and be counted let our voices be heard!

[@Master_Blackthorne]

Eddie, did you know that when France gave us the Statue of Liberty there were certain religious groups (also cough, cough) who objected to a Pagan (Hellenic) goddess being the first thing immigrants would see when they entered New York harbor? Like it was going to do any harm.

[@eddielee6490]

@@Master_Blackthorne I thank you for this bit of informative history.

[@PandoraNYC1]

So mote it be! So it is!!

[@andruid5054]

I always smile when I see schools doing it and I think do they know what the maypole represents lol

[@sarah_noodle]

I'm only 25 but I remember Round and Round the Maypole being one of the songs on the kids' tapes we listened to. Or it was on Barney or something.

[@izzyyellowhair7117]

Always be a Traditional believer as Native American (Navajo) tribal, I really love Mother earth and Father sky and all four direction spirits dwellers from of life on this earth and universe as One beings. Keep Mother earth beautiful as Green 🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌⛩

[@andruid5054]

I'm a Pagan and started as Druid but sort of stepped sideways away from the white robe ritual by numbers,but I still revere my ancestors,and feel the connection to my lands and the lands of my ancestors. Our beliefs are not that far apart. Stay safe

[@izzyyellowhair7117]

@@andruid5054 thank you.

[@reuvyiashadow3636]

I wish there were more like us in my neighbourhood. Would be nice to have others whom are like us around so our children can feel free to be themselves more. Its difficult to teach our children traditions when they are called terrible names for being Witches, Wiccans, Pagans, etcetera. At least right now I feel safer to teach them all I have to share.

[@venetianmetalhead]

This made me so happy. I can't imagine what it's like to be able to celebrate pagan/ wiccan beliefs openly like that. It must be so freeing and feel amazing to have so many people around you that share the same beliefs. Thank you for sharing this and blessed be.

[@liaruth9795]

HearthWi that’s not really nice. Shouldn’t you respect all religions? If someone wants to be a Wiccan let them be move on with your life. We don’t need any disrespect here.

[@venetianmetalhead]

I don’t see it as garbage. I believe in it and it works for me. If it’s not your path that’s ok. A large part of Wicca is honoring your ancestors. Most of its sabbats are based on remembering and honoring your ancestors. I’m also from Irish/ Celtic descent which was originally pagan and Wiccan. Have a good day and blessed be.

[@venetianmetalhead]

@Lia Ruth Thank you for your support!

[@liaruth9795]

venetianmetalhead no problem ❤️

[@liaruth9795]

HearthWi I also want to add that you are totally allowed to have your beliefs and opinions but you also need to respect others as well. If you don’t have anything positive to say please don’t say it. I don’t want you to feel upset but please learn from your mistakes.

[@screamingopossum7809]

This made me cry. This'll be my first Beltane and I'll be sadly spending it alone. I'll definitely be playing this video on Beltane. Blessed Be and Happy Beltane!

[@mirirodriguez3919]

Same here for me But Happy Beltane 😊

[@pagangwynne3627]

Why? Why not celebrate Beltaine by going out in the forest and forging a connection with the land? Much better than sitting indoors in front of a computer.

[@screamingopossum7809]

By all the powers that be From the Goddess and God Brightest Beltane Blessings to all. A truly beautiful video. Be Well!

[@Alasdair37448]

I've done a lot of study of pagan traditions in the western world and videos like this have highlighted for me one major difference between pagan traditions an later religious practices and that's that the pagan festivals were fun! They were like party's rich in symbolism, tradition, and spirituality. No stuffy sermons given within temple walls but outside celebrating with music, poetry, art, and in todays world great costumes! Thank you for sharing this its been a pleasure.

[@lesafowers8142]

That was just absolutely gorgeous. I was married outside in my parents beautiful back yard. It has a creek and I crossed over my dad helped me cross over to my husband and it was as close to a hand fasting as I could get and it was a full day of celebration. Thanks for the real thing. Blessed be

[@pamelakincaid7489]

I got chills. The best ever. And may you always have a Happy Beltaine.

[@indianalakamsanis]

This is the coolest! How amazing it would be to experience this in person! I'm quite solitary in my beliefs, so finding a group to celebrate like this would be so amazing!!

I miss the local town celebrations, they would close Saltash Town centre to all vehicles for 3 days of celebrations including: processions, the crowning of the May Queen, marching of the local bands, local stalls with items for sale, fairground rides and the fun run.
