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.

I bumped into the #GreenMan at the pub on Friday. He was taking a break from his important botanical duties, and was out dancing in the street with the lads of the #EynshamMorris.
I was able to thank him personally for bringing us such a spectacularly beautiful spring this year.
🙏🌱
He looked pleased with his work.#folklore #oxfordshire #westoxfordshire #morrisdancing #eynsham

Good morning and happy #Wednesday. 😊
A good few years ago, I enrolled on a #pottery course and this is the first thing I made. 😊🌿🌿🌿

Folklore's Green Man has long fascinated me, as a gardener/landscape architect, but also since I read a book connecting him to Santa Claus (??)
This story was my chance to write about the Green Man and coyotes, in a race between invasive and native plants.
Plus coyotes as icons of resilience

Green man face in the low autumn sun. Taken in my late parents’ garden today. Not that long until the house is sold and it won’t be their garden anymore. The green man is coming home with me. Face is actually going green with the luttkk looks bits of moss on it. #greenman #autumn #Mosstodon

To start the week, a smiley Green Man (or rather yellow) I found at Abbey Dore in #Herefordshire. The abbey dates back to the 12th Century but was expanded a century later. The Green Man perhaps therefore dates from the 13th Century. #GreenMan #pagan #PreChristian #church #medieval #medievalsky

Here’s my latest the #GreenMan wall sculpture, fresh out of the kiln at The Chicken Run Studio, #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire.
I’ll add wires & then he’ll be ready to hang in somebody’s garden somewhere. Yours, perhaps?
Thanks 🙏 to my chum Alison for the technical assistance, the laughs, and the yummy apple cake.

What to do on a miserable day? Hang out with a chum in her #homepotterystudio. While I glaze my new #GreenMan sculpture, Alison paints her goldfinches.
I pray that the #KilnGods will be kind...🙏

Because writing projects evolve as you go, I give you a zombie story about gardening, or a gardening story about zombies.
With a dash of #resist thrown in, as with everything.
Don't say you weren't warned.
