Yesterday was Mayday, across Europe the far-left held their Socialist parades. In hundreds of remote places in Ireland and the Celtic areas of the British isles, fires were lit to welcome the Sun.
Adolf Hitler committed suicide on April 30th 1945 and his body was given to the Beltaine flames, April 30th is of course on the eve of ancient feast of Beltaine held on Mayday. Fire always played an important art in pre Christian rituals of the sun, the fire festival of the ancient Celts across Europe was held on May day. This Spring fire festival was held to encourage and celebrate the rebirth of the Sun. It is my belief, Hitler choose this day to sacrifice his body to fire and the Aryan fire god Agni, as a signal that he will one day be re-born.
To the Celts Mayday and October 31st mark the bisection of the new year into two halves at the beginning of May and November and date from a time, when the British were still followers of the old pagan god's. Beltaine was the greatest festival of our Celtic forebears, when they advanced towards the night with firebrands to liberate the sun from the bondage of its winter death the food at Betaine was Fish, Goose and Boar drawn respectively from the spheres of Water, Air and Earth.
