Beltane Fire Society

The Beltane Fire Society organises the Beltane Fire Festival on Calton Hill and the Samhuinn Fire Festival on the Royal Mile, both in Edinburgh, Scotland. The society was formed in 1988 for the second Beltane Fire Festival (the first on Calton Hill). The BFS also organises events for the other Celtic cross-quarter days, i.e., Imbolc and Lughnasadh and Samhuinn.

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or society:

    It began with begging.
    In the beginning it was all God’s icebox
    and everyone ate raw fish or animals
    and there was no fire at night to dance to,
    no fire at day to cook by.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    All that remains to the mother in modern consumer society is the role of scapegoat; psychoanalysis uses huge amounts of money and time to persuade analysands to foist their problems on to the absent mother, who has no opportunity to utter a word in her own defence. Hostility to the mother in our societies is an index of mental health.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
