Beltane: Fire on the Hill Beneath the Flower Moon | Folklore, Fairies and Old Warnings
About this episode
The episode explores the folklore and customs associated with Beltane, a night of ancient traditions and caution.
A little seasonal extra for Beltane! As Beltane arrives beneath the Flower Moon, we step into one of the oldest and strangest nights of the year, when fires were lit on the hills, doors were guarded, and the boundary between worlds was said to grow thin. From ancient May Day customs to warnings of fairies, wandering spirits, and voices in the dark, this is the folklore of a night once treated with both joy and caution.
