rehearsals – Beltane Fire Society

Fire and fertile ground – embracing change with Obsidian

Obsidian reforge new things from chaos, acting as Winter’s warriors at Samhuinn Fire Festival.

First glimpse of the groups you can sign up to perform with at Samhuinn Fire Festival 2019.

Obsidian are Winter’s stoic warriors, combining volcanic energy with the cold season’s icy grip.

The Moncai remind us that nothing is permanent and to adapt ourselves as the seasons change.

Teachdairean a’Gheamraidh (the Winter Drummers) show us how to face the dark months without fear.

Celebrate the last vestiges of summertime with Samhuinn’s Reds, riotous children of Summer and always the last ones to leave the party.

On the night of Beltane, faeries collect their belongings and move to a new house.
