Strangeness Before Bealtaine

[@elainesplots1132]

A little story. My elderly neighbour who I loved very much passed away a short while ago. I hung the metal watering can over my fence that she gave me. On the day of her death a robin started building a nest in it. On the day of her funeral the chicks hatched. The wheel of life turns ❣️

[@poppy6488]

The birdsong! Honestly Colette, I'm transported to another plane with your videos. Absolutely stunningly beautiful. Magical.

[@Marigoldblu]

Most beautiful. The greening that feeds the soul. I watch your videos, it is helping me to return slowly to my painting of the goddess, since the loss of my beautiful Irish Mother on the 21st of March. Blessings to you Colette and Jack.

[@JS-zs3zl]

Thanks for sharing nature’s art and concert. It’s truly a magical balm. Xx

[@melaniekendal5717]

Wow, just beautiful. The Cuckoo, Tulips, sparkling running water and that shimmering spider web, just amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@theuniquebean]

Thank you Colette! I am taking the rest of the day off and away from all social media and devices. I want to reconnect with myself and what this wonderful world has to offer. I think I will plant my new lavender in my garden. Hugs to you, Sir Jack with his beautifully wise eyes and everyone here. Have a beautiful day💕✨

[@sheilabrewster6810]

The sound of those adorable sweet birds is a Mantra to my soul. It's heavenly🐦🎵 Colette. A great day.

[@guitargirl7452]

Just wonderful! The birdsong is glorious too. Nature is literally singing in every sense of harmonic resonance. 💓 Thank you for sharing it with us Colette. Love and blessings to you and Jack. Xx

[@bealtainecottage]

Thank you too!

[@samella35]

I'm so inspired by your permaculture garden/cottage, that I'm wondering how to design my yard and city lot. Love from Detroit, Michigan, North America. May the Yoniverse continue to compliment your efforts at Bealtiane.

[@joyofthings]

Thankyou for letting us in.I have been for a walk today and I’ve seen the hawthorn buds out and violets and bluebells and I feel so full with joy.xx🐝

[@hannahoron9740]

Blessings to you, Colette. I feel this life force comes with living in sync/rythm with Nature? There is energy and also, at least when I 'm working with my hands in the garden, literally connected with Our Mother Earth, I feel an understanding, a focussing on what is really important. Like I see my way clear again. Sounds a bit grand, but that's just that I find it hard to translate ...

[@moondancer5115]

After a week of watching your videos, I find myself transporting in my mind and heart, to this magical place throughout the day. Thank you! ❤🙏❤

[@Hossluver_Gal]

Love the wild violets & primroses in the Fairy Woods! Everything looks so beautiful, as always!! 🌸🌺☘️❤️👍

[@andreaplayford4340]

Thank you for sharing these lovely moments, the sun shining through the plantings, and oh ! the birdsong ! Blessings to you also.

[@katieannjones89]

Heaven. It's so beautiful with all the birdsong. You've created a wonderful place, Colette xx

[@lindarobinson8381]

Beautiful as always Colette and the birdsong is a joy along the good weather we have been having these past few days x

[@chickentender4037]

Found your channel from your comment on PlantPure Nation. So happy to find something magical and so completely different from the usual.

[@elainerichards6406]

Hi Colette, thank you for your beautiful video, the tulips look gorgeous! It's so very atmospheric where you are, so peaceful like being transferred back in time, a goddesses paradise! Enjoy the rest of your day in your peaceful setting! Blessings to you and Jack.

[@bealtainecottage]

Thank you! You too!

[@kathleen4831]

I have seen the energy on my own land. I have also felt it on many levels ... Your tulips are gorgeous 🌷 I have red poppies that are in bloom and several shades of iris. Bealtaine looks ever so elegant and happy. Thank you for sharing. The woodlands, birdsong, blossoms and greenery are good and beautiful 🌟 The waters at Bealtaine sound so lovely. The sunlight sparkling on top is like a wink from the Goddess💕 The wild primrose and violets are so sweet. (I have a calico cat named Violet) 😽 This video was so perfect and special. I do feel the rise and need for the burn to release the positive into the air. How exciting and what a special time! Blessings and Happiness, Kathleen

[@steben3318]

Same from me :)

[@carolynhoover9444]

Will watch this evening. Love your walks and philosophy.

[@redbird9658]

Ive had many danders round your garden with you now and yet it always looks different, always something new to look at including statues popping up. So peaceful. Beautiful. Astounding how violets and primroses grow, i bet you never planted them. Yet there they are like magic. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you and our boy.🥰🌳🌹🐾🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️

[@deedreamccarthy6666]

This year I have a abundance of wild violet and wild geranium . I have more wild garden of eden in my yard than grass and I love it. Blessings xxx to you for sharing the symphony of spring!

[@poppy6488]

I even feel the energy through the videos Colette. Blessings x

[@dianehall5345]

Good Thursday morning to you Colette. It is significant to be sensitive and in tune with the waxing of this event. To say that your are "grounded" is an understatement! I can feel our forest breath and it is collectively waiting for the rain that is arriving tonight.

[@gail-elizabethengland7853]

What a beautiful video! Everything is gorgeous. The stream with the sun hitting it is dazzling. Your growing season must be at least a month ahead of ours here in Vermont. I started my "cut and come again" foam box yesterday...thanks for the reminder. If you walked into my gardens you'd recognize so much that is familiar, you are an inspiration. Thank You!

[@bealtainecottage]

Thank you so much!

[@kastah]

Sunny nice weather with you, that is lovely, especially at the springtime after a long winter :-) Well, I have been wondering about what bealtine meens and you have now explained it :-) that grey gravel is so nice to look at in your driveway. I also use grey singel we call it as pathways in my garden and at the parkinglot etc. A beck/bruck/stream is so nice, I envy you that one. :-) I have digged me a pond and my a fall though. Have you thought of a sign for your gate? what about: Garden is only open with appointment!! That is simpel and not offending :-)

[@bealtainecottage]

I have had signs in the past and they have not deterred visitors.

[@AhabsDaughter]

The Goddess Gardens in spring are a wonderful, joyous sight! Thank you for taking us along!

[@bealtainecottage]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@patfitzgerald8902]

You live in such peace & beauty. And the birds! Wow are they loud! In a very beautiful way ❤️ Give my love to Jack😘 Love your vids...

[@beverlybelcher3423]

This is the second time I have watched this video. I closed my eyes and just listened... what beautiful birdsong.

[@kalayne6713]

Bealtaine Cottage has always been a comfort to me, more needed today than ever.I feel forced to move from my rented rural cottage, the garden I created from weeds which was praised by my landlords two years ago, is now to be totally cut down, as they cite wanting to paint (not holding my breath), fire risk(I purposely chose the least flammable plants ) and vermin.I can't stay here if my garden is destroyed, dug up and thrown away.As a horticulturist each plant is so precious, I am broken hearted. I will pot up what I can but I have nowhere to go,and the logistics are overwhelming. Yet, I believe in miracles and trust that all will be well. The peace, beauty and other worldliness of Bealtaine Cottage sustains me in this time. So grateful to you, Colette.Blessings from Kaye, Australia. 💜

[@sidilicious11]

I’m so sorry to hear what your landlords are asking you to do. When one door closes another opens is something I’ve seen over and over again. Make a list of everything you need from your next abode. Wishing you wonderful good fortune moving forward!

[@kalayne6713]

Sidilicious Thank you for the reminder, in the middle of a crisis I easily forget the simple things, like what you have suggested. I will think on that as I go to sleep tonight, maybe I will dream of my new home. I want to be in Ireland ultimately but covid and a land dispute has put that on hold. Which is why Bealtaine Cottage is so precious, it keeps my absolute dream home alive.

[@pamelagwinnutt3663]

Absolutely stunning I could feel my stress levels drop so quickly just watching and listening to this video I have bluebell woods going in my wax melt burner which is filling the whole house with beautiful scent. Thank you.💜

You reminded me of something I heard recently..Let every step you take on Mother Earth be a prayer .....or something like that 🙏😇

[@enquery]

Its crazy to think of how silent the barren land that is now Bealtaine Cottage must have once been prior to the growth and vibrancy it is now. Such beautiful bird song.

[@sherrisclafani9702]

Beautiful 🌷

[@valoriecarson1476]

Spring is the most magnificent time of year. I get so excited to pick dandelion. It's my tonic and brings me close to mother earth. Your video brought me to tears with its beauty. You have a gift Collette. You should write books for children to learn from you. A gift like yours is truly a blessing and should be shared for generations to come. Blessings to you and all!

Thank you! You too!

[@trinityreeves]

Simply exquisite! I have had to stop watching your videos whilst wearing headphones, when I'm tired because they have a habit of making me drift off to sleep. So relaxing to watch.. infact too relaxing! The birdsong, the bubbling of your stream, the crunch of the gravel underfoot and your soothing voice. Your videos transport me away from my stressful life and my illness. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful corner of Mother Earth. Blessings dear Collette x

[@bealtainecottage]

Ah...my work is done then...you are listening to the Great Mother!

Hiya. I stopped your video just as you mentioned fairy wood I'm at 1:54, but by 1:44 I had already seen the fairies upon the moss, there are more - they are quite happy and peaceful, content is the word. thought I'd let you know before I continue with the video.

[@tinaweeks438]

Oh the cuckoo, that made my day 🙏

[@noonewillrememberr]

Wowza! Thank you for sharing such a gorgeous video. I’ve been curious, have any saplings come up on either of your neighbors’ land, or perhaps the old abandoned field behind your property? I feel as if your land is a great life bomb due to burst any moment full of color. I’ve been inspired by you to get my own land and regenerate it. It would be a great adventure and quite a different journey as I’m in the desert southwest of the U.S. ~Martin

[@bealtainecottage]

None get a chance to come up or grow because of grazing animals...so, no, none do!

[@themoonflowerfaerie]

Heavenly 🌸🧚🏻🌸

[@widowkeeper4739]

Our Lily and the Valley (my birth flower) and Sweet Olive bushes have been erupting the past couple of weeks, and providing a lot of food for the bees which have been celebrating among the blossoms. Now the rhododendron are taking the center stage to show off their glory.

[@chrissaxon1792]

The birdsongs. Truly beautiful. But then, it came to me that I wanted to hear the smallest, maybe the farthest sound sung by nature. Yes, I caught some strange sounds in the distance. Not sure what those were or what made those sounds. Probably birds, probably other small animals, probably the winds, or probably something else entirely. Have you ever wondered? Have a nice weekend. p.s. Would you pat Jack gently for me? Always the loyal guard.

[@bealtainecottage]

I think very much the same...always wondering about sounds and energy surrounding me...

[@henriettanovember4733]

We do not celebrate Bealtaine in my part of the world it is not our heritage but we celebrate spring in the evening of 30 of April with a big bonfire and special songs about the end of winter and the coming of spring and so on. On the 1 of May many eat special food and have a special breakfast with wine and so on. What we celebrate is the remnants of a Catholic celebration (the country Lutheran for 500 years and now very, very, very secular in every aspect of that word) of the saint S Walpurgis. But I believe it must be even older traditions somewhere in it. For of course did our ancestors celebrate spring back in the old times. Back when most people believed in what I think is called Old Norse religion in English. Especially in a cold country like ours. I just found your videos and I really like them. And I too can feel something in the air, in the earth and in the water this time of year. Something light and new and old and lifegiving.
