Ancient #Celtic #FireFestival Marks Beginning of Summer
Fri, May 1, 2026 at 9:35 AM EDT
"Thousands of people gathered for the #Beltane Fire Festival, a Celtic ritual dating back to the Iron age, on Edinburgh’s #CaltonHill on Thursday evening, April 30.
Close to 10,000 people attended the festival, which is intended to mark the beginning of summer.
The modern version of the festival has been running since 1988, according to its organizers.
After a dramatic stage performance signifying the inception of summer, the #MayQueen and #GreenMan spark the birth of summer by lighting a huge bonfire.

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2025/apr/17/fyre-festival-2-postponedI mean, I get it. Festivals are supposed to offer An Experience, and many offer a very specialized experience to a very specific audience.
"Being rich and WRONGED" is definitely an experience, and clearly there are people in the market for that. :blobcatcoffee:

The new shrine's parishioners were divided into 3 groups that participate in the fire festival to this day: upper (上在地), middle (中在地) and lower (下在地/宮本).
Emperor Suzaku bestowed on the villagers the title 'myōshū nakama' (名衆仲間), 'honored servants of the court'.

The journey was long and darkness began to fall before the 1km procession had reached its destination.
Expecting the gods, the locals of Kurama fashioned torches and bonfires from dry reeds (taken from the Kamo-gawa) to light the way.
Their generosity would later be rewarded.

Yuki-jinja (由岐神社) is located at the base of Mt Kurama, beside a zig-zagging path that climbs to the temple above.
Enshrined here are the gods Ōnamuchi (大己貴命) and Sukunahikona (少彦名命), collectively known as 'Yuki Daimyōjin'.
Both are considered deities of medicine. -
