BELTANE FIRES

Here is u. good letter from Ken- slngton: "Dear Sin-In today's column you refer to the “Bcltlnw festival of the Druid: ll occurring on the twenty-fourth of June. Ind of its being changed into the cele- bration of the birthday of John the Baptist.

"I have always understood that ‘Beltane’ was celebrated by the ancients as May ﬁrst —- the sssd time when rites of a. very obscene nature were observed. This con- tinues as our ‘May Day.‘

“Lugnasndﬂ I understood was tlie name of the festival observed now as ‘Midsummer Day’ and ‘St. John the Baptist‘; and Samhaln. celebrated the last day of October is perpetuated as ‘All Hallows’ or ‘Hallowebn.’

“While my authority is fairly reliable it. ls quite possible that it is mistaken. and I should be glad if you would refer to it further. Yours truly, R. B. MaicQusrric."

It. gives me great pleasure to rs- ply to a letter which is, as the saying goes, "after my own heart." The exact wording of the quota- tion referred to was: “..Ju.ne 24th is known as Midsummer Day, s. heathen festival in olden times when Beltane fires were lighted in honor of Baal (not Boa], as it ap- peared in the Notes!) but ‘changed by the church to the feast of the Nativity of St. John."

An antiquary — to be exact, my grandfather's brother-told me that when he was a lad, the young folk, and more particularly the shep- herds, of North Northumiberland,

llWily v

in the lonely valleys south of the Cheirlots. used to kindle fires on the night of June 24th, and to jump through them “for fun," as lie phrased it; and these fires, he said, they called Beltane fires. He believed the fires to be in honor of Bel or Baal, from the first syllable; but could not say what the "taiie" was. I can carry it. a step further; it is really "tin" or "telne", meaning firs. Beltane is "Baal": fire."

But the Encyclo. Brlttsnlcu - ..ot the latest edltlonl — say: that zhe principal Beltane celebration was held in the beginning ofMay and that the name was applied t0 another and similar festival in the beginning of November; and traces of these festivals were to found in Ireland and in the High- lands of Scotland down to the be- ginning of the nineteenth century.

“According to Cormac. Arch- bishop of Cashel about the year i108, who furnishes the earliest no- tice of Beltane, it was" customary to kindle( in very close proximity, two fires, between which both men and cattle were driven, under the belief that health was thereby promoted and disease warded off" tEncyc. Britt.) This perhaps sym- bolized a burnt-offering or a “pass- ing through the fire" as the Scrip- ture says.
