Best thing about Glastonbury is you can wear the most outlandish, crazy outfit and there will always be someone one step ahead of you 😂

On this 'my remothering day, I am forever home and cannot be further abused. That is all over. Forever over. Blessed be Glastonbury. Forever, everywhere. I am home. Blessed be.

Blessings and Joy for you always

So wish I could get away from US south to visit my homeland and meet my people.

[@johnfarley4201]

With love and joy and spirit for you

[@Bhenderson0001]

We need more of this, should be mandatory!

Watching from Denver, Colorado USA 🇺🇸

Everytime I see Lynn lovell it reminds me of the cops turning up at a Rainbow Circle camp gate and her emerging Buck naked from the welcome dome, they started backing away, got in their car and drove away. Priceless!

[@susanfarley1332]

This would have been fun in the 1960's and really appreciated.

[@merlinofavalon6721]

Take a trip down memory lane to see highlights from 7 years of Beltaine ceremonies in Avalon. Many thanks to all participants and pilgrims for supporting this now well established annual event here in Glastonbury. May it live on in the Spirit of Albion, and continue to blossom in the years to come. Merry Meet, Merry Part and Merry Meet again!

[@thenandnow111]

I enjoyed Beltane last week in Glastonbury as I always do. Long live Avalon.

[@johnfarley4201]

WONDERFUL

[@johnharpdalton7766]

Great video and so good to see so many familiar and much loved faces having a great time, and people just being people together, celebrating the earth, the summer, the elements and the divine - and with none of the ghastly anti-social stuff! I hope these celebrations have been as good and as free these last two years. So mote it be!

[@itsstocky1955]

I love being from this part of the land!

I was in Glastonbury in September 2019, before the pandemic and I really enjoyed the mystical atmosphere of the place. I started to study Wicca at 42 years old and I did my self initiation, in Art, I read the Mists of Avalon and this recreation you guys make of the ancient Celtic rites of ancestors is wonderful. Long live to Avalon.Cheers.

[@tonyoutdoorsuk3479]

Beautiful video! I moved here from London nearly 2 months ago, and my girlfriend just a few weeks ago. She has been coming here for many years, and my first visit was when we came to view our flat in the middle of March! We never moved to Glastonbury, nooooooooooooo..we both feel we moved home!

[@nuriau7870]

I,m from Spain, please can you tell me if this Beltane was this year?

[@NaliniBlossom]

loved this .... feels very innocent and pure

[@paulcobham27]

Greetings From Canada, Happy belated beltane to all, 2nd year we havent been able to fly back for the celebrations, hoping next year we will be able to come back home :-)

[@eddielee6490]

Wonderful Pagan celebration !...😄

[@johnfarley4201]

WONDERFUL CELEBRATION OF LIFE.

[@futures2247]

[@michaelwhite6983]

Hello Dreow, nice to see you. Keep safe, Michael

[@AgathosDaimon2]

Já estive em Glastonbury em setembro de 2019, antes da pandemia e gostei muito da atmosfera mística do lugar. Eu comecei a estudar Wicca aos 42 anos e fiz minha auto iniciação, na Arte, li as Brumas de Avalon e é maravilhosa esta recriação que vcs fazem dos antigos ritos celtas ancestrais.Vida longa a Avalon..

[@francisfischer7620]

I wish I'd been! My father said, "You know, the English aren't A very nice people, too judgmental." But these English seem anything but. I'd like t have been with them. I found them much as my father did. I liked the Irish. Down to earth folk.

[@shelleyphilcox4743]

@francisfischer7620 Is there a tiny chance its your own casual prejudice and negative collective characterisation of quite a few million people that might be a teensy bit of a problem? It would be really lovely if you might put that aside and not be so judgemental. To be fair, the English do enjoy irony, so your view of the English being judgemental whilst be judgemental yourself is properly funny. Do come and join some of our lovely festivals where we truly are joyful and warm and friendly people...with a cracking sense of humour. All the best, and take care, hoping to see you frollicking round a Maypole with a tankard of ale in the future 😂😘🍻

[@Alloneword-cp2xw]

I like Tatomir. Everyone should be like him.

[@heartofthetribegallery]

[@simonhough]

[@larsjorgan7964]

By blossoming, we heal. The infinite is aglow with pulses. Hope is a constant. Have you found your story? We are in the midst of a non-local summoning of inspiration that will remove the barriers to the quantum matrix itself. Our conversations with other entities have led to an awakening of hyper-ethereal consciousness. Who are we? Where on the great journey will we be re-energized? Throughout history, humans have been interacting with the quantum soup via sub-atomic particles. Humankind has nothing to lose. Reality has always been beaming with beings whose third eyes are baptized in grace. We are at a crossroads of conscious living and stagnation. Although you may not realize it, you are spiritual. The galaxy is calling to you via a resonance cascade. Can you hear it? Visitor, look within and ground yourself. The essence of nature is growth. You and I are warriors of the quantum cycle. The goal of sub-atomic particles is to plant seeds rather than greed.

[@jillrossiter8757]

This is an old video- dear Denny.xx

[@FlyingTigerProductions]

Hi Jill, It’s old unseen footage but a brand new film! :-) We filmed it between 2010 - 2015 + took some photos in the years after this. The footage has sat on our hard drives for years in the to do section. Since there were no Beltane celebrations on this year I decided to edit it last week so the community could celebrate from home :-)

[@ralfhighlander8321]

👍👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀

[@gord2510]

I would suggest you explain that this is an old video but new film in your video description. When i first saw it I thought it was this year and people had a scant disregard to social distancing which we need at this time.

[@FlyingTigerProductions]

Yes, thanks. Good point!

[@dianajenkinson9985]

Polotics wow

[@miriamedithbravo7333]

Traduce

[@jillrossiter8757]

Surprising chauvinism where I would not expect to find it. I am a nature goddess.

[@MBryy]

I can't stand u people you are not innocent

[@scarletwitch2000]

hate only hurts the individual who carries it in their heart. i implore you to educate yourself. blessed beltane.

[@kerryjayne5066]

😂

[@Alloneword-cp2xw]

Can you please explain? I'm struggling to see where there is no innocence here. Where is the bad?

[@merlinofavalon6721]

Who are 'u people' ? How do you know who we are ? God bless.

[@hughcoulter8313]

Are you?
