#FolkloreThursday: The #Celtic summer began with the #Beltane (‘bright fire’ or ‘lucky fire’) festival on May 1. `Beltane celebrates the start of summer, the crop and pasturing season. Although scholars are non-commital, many of us believe #Beltane honors the ancient continental #Celtic sun and healer God #Belenus.`

"The Welsh Robert Burns" suggests Cerys Matthews in her 6 Music radio show about the Welsh Poet

Turns out medieval bards lived lives similar to rock bands of the late 20th century!
