Merry Beltaine – May 1st/6th

“Arctic Wolf Fire”
By Tom-in-Silence

The Festival of Bel’s Fire

May You Have A Wonderful Holiday Celebration!

By the Solar Calendar, the holiday is celebrated on May 1st. But by the Lunar Calendar it’s honored on May 6th.

The early Celts were very balanced in the way they scheduled their lives. One of the places this is seen most clearly are in the High Holy days.

Each festival fell in between a solstice or equinox. February 6 for Imbolg, May 6th for Beltaine and August 6th for Lughnasadh as examples.

With the advent of the modern calendar, the festivals were assigned to dates based on solar cycles. And most Pagan Metaphysical traditions follow this selection of dates for their holiday observances. To some degree this does throw off the balance intended for the cycle of the lunar year. This is also one reason varying traditions hold their festivals on different days. Wicca for instance recognizes May 1st as the date for Beltaine. Where as my tradition, Deborean, still recognizes May 6th as the date to honor Bel.

The Ænigma Project is a discussion group focused on the realm of the supernatural, paranormal and mysterious events that sometimes take place in our lives.

04/29 Our Topic: The Story of Donnie Decker
Who was Donnie Decker and could he really make it rain, even inside, when he got upset? Was he possessed as some believe or was this some other sort of paranormal phenomenon? It started after his grandfather’s death when he was a teenager in February of 1983. From then on, his paranormal encounters only became more mysterious. So intriguing that the TV show “Unsolved Mysteries” took time to investigate this Pennsylvania native. What did they discover? Tune in and find out.

04/22 Our Topic: Overtoun Bridge mystery
Sitting quietly in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland is Overtoun House, a 19th Century estate and gardens. On the way to the main house sits a stone road bridge, where numerous dogs have jumped to their death. The phenomenon has been recorded since the 1950s, with a few dogs surviving the 50 feet (15 m) onto the waterfalls below. How many unfortunate dogs have committed apparent acts of suicide, jumping from the exact same spot on the bridge over a 50 year period? Does the phenomenon have anything to do with a murder where a father allegedly threw his son from the bridge calling him the anti-Christ?

04/15 Our Topic: The Devil’s Footprints
On February 9th to 11th of 1855 in a heavy snowfall, a series of hoof-like marks appeared in the snow. Most of which measured around four inches long, three inches across, between eight and sixteen inches apart and mostly in a single file. Did a cloven hoofed creature actually walk between 40 and 100 miles, crossing over houses, rivers, and haystacks in East Devon and South Devon, England leaving only hoof prints as evidence? If this wasn’t some supernatural creature then what else could it have possibly been?

04/01 Our Topic: The May Day Mystery
What is the May Day mystery? Is this real or some sort of very elaborate hoax? The ads posted in the Univ. of Arizona newspaper the Daily Wildcat are mysterious, bizarre, logical, seemingly illogical and highly addictively curious at the very least. Where did the complex, detailed and interwoven pages of information and puzzles come from and what do they mean?

Why Pagan’s Don’t Celebrate St. Paddy’s Day

Mar17

The Tribal Wolf

The Genocide of St. Patrick

To begin this story let me start with a little Public Service Announcement (PSA). This year, 2014, I learned that the Irish do not care much for we Americans and Canadians calling their national holiday St. Patty’s Day. But probably isn’t what you think. Which is what I thought; it’s Patrick, not Patty. Nope that’s not it. Well not entirely.

I discovered a PSA had been posted in the Dublin Airport correcting a misconception for those of us in the Americas. It’s not Patty, it’s Paddy. Seems Patty is short for Patricia and of course, Patrick was a male priest. The proper shortening of the male variation is Paddy. And St. Paddy’s Day is perfectly acceptable. So now we know.

Now on to our tale of Pagans and Paddy. First, we must start with some of the early inhabitants of Ireland. What little is known of these people come from Irish songs and poetry, oral legends and Roman writings. The Celtic lands of Ireland, Scotland and Wales were populated primarily by individual or regional Clans. Small communities that were close knit and survived on nature through farming and hunting.
