    In the Irish language we pronounce it but for you phonetically Byowl-tinna. The month of May here is also called Bealtaine in our language.

    In Chzechia, the tradition of fires for Betane is still very strong. We call it a “Witches Night”, and there is usually a giant fire in every village.. just attended one🔥 once I saw a night map of Czech Republic from this night, and it looked like the whole country was burning.. the following Mayday, maypoles at some places are erected and couples are supposed to kiss under a blooming cherry tree🌸 Happy Beltane to all🤗

    Hearing chants and songs in Old English, the language of our Anglo-Saxon pagan ancestors, is absolutely haunting. Unlike Proto-Celtic, it does not need to be reconstructed. Anglisc is the old language of England. The Anglo-Saxons were also incredible wordsmiths, very witty and clever with wordplay and they love riddles! (Obviously this is post-Christian, after the Latin alphabet)

    The last time I sat down in the grass, I received a million bites from the fleas that live there. Here in Oklahoma, we've already had temps in the high 80's. Too hot for April! Skal

    Today my boyfriend became my fiancé and we both decided to get our marriage license today on Beltane. The perfect time for the masculine and feminine to unite 🥰 We will be married on 6/2/2024, one month from now and it’ll be our 5 year anniversary.

    In Sweden, we burn bonfires on April 30th every year. I'm currently living in Norway and they just looked at me like I had three heads when I asked about this (Norway and Denmark have a different bonfire in June I think). The EU is trying to ban all burning in your backyard, but word from my dad was that the municipality where he lives (mid-northern Sweden) don't care and will burn stuff anyway. 🔥

    Regarding feminine and masculine spirituality: I think about this a lot, not the least in how "Celtic paganism" becomes stereotyped as just a bunch of pretty girls in pretty dresses humming in a circle (hyper-feminine), and "Norse paganism" becomes stereotyped as a bunch of bearded, ripped men screaming while flailing axes (hyper-masculine). While in reality, the Celts had their own warriors. The Norse had their female practices. And both had, mostly, just ordinary men and women. (And the warriors were highly structured and spiritual, not just wild beasts with axes.) But what I want to get to more specifically is that I'm currently doing a lot of womb healing and fertility meditation, after two years trying to get pregnant and the coming out of the psychological "trauma" (that I did to myself) of that. A lot of it - I'm looking all over the place - is about placing your hand on your womb, visualizing it, speaking to it, those kinds of things. So I love to imagine a men's version of this like a parody. Some men sitting around in a circle, with their cacao, incense and soothing music, and the leader says "Now place your fingers between the cock and the ballsack... feel the energy... visualize your balls, thank them for their hard work and look deep inside of them" Not sorry 😅

    I'm also looking around to see what chants/invocations/mantras people have tried to make for the Norse gods. As you say, they (from cultures with unbroken lines, like Hinduism and Buddhism) are often very simple, just repeating names and titles and thanking them. One I found on KZread for Freya goes "Freyja, Völva, Mardöll, Vanadis, Gefjon, Hörn, Menglada", over and over. Just different names for Freya, as a song I did something similar for Frey, with some of his various names. Repeat the names, the titles, glory to you, share with me your strength, etc. I'm Swedish so I do it in Swedish, but I understand if the Anglo-speakers feel it's "less genuine" in English. I don't think it really matters, but if it makes you feel more connected to do it in Old Norse (or Gaelic for the British Celts), then do so.

    If I had that experience there, I wouldn’t leave. I would love an episode on just various forms of music used in pagan traditions. I grew up Christian and get so tired of hymns filling filling my head when I want to sing about something spiritual. Those hymns no longer represent me, but what do I sing instead.

    Hey Jacob, can you describe to me in short, what does it feel like to connect / work with the norse gods & in general where do i start with norse paganism, do i just find a spot in a forest and start praying, to the god i want to give offerings to or seek guidance from ?. Since i was 15 (now almost 18), i have always felt a Connection to the norse gods & fenrir (my spirit animal or fylgja is a wolf), what are your views on working with fenrir or giving offerings ? I should add, that have always had a great interest in pagan religions & shamanism

    Glastonbury isnt as isolated as people think, its' only next door to Street after all! I grew up there and we schoolkids avoided the "glastofarian" crowd as it was known among us (there just was a real us & them divide at the time). Most of them were wealthy outsiders back then. We had our own interests, like skateboarding, and drum & bass music. But there is a connection to the sacred places like the tor and chalice well gdns that runs through the actual, non "hippy", native community that runs strong and goes beyond "religion". I see some of my old friends celebrate getting to the top of the tor on their birthday, like its a rite of passage, which it is for many of them. Few of them are pagans. They dont need that to have that spiritual connection to the place, they were born with it.
