Where is this festival held?

[alexjestaire]

@enigmafirst It's all written in the notes, and at the beginning of the vid. It takes place in Edinburgh, capital of Scotland.

[alexjestaire]

WOW!!!!!!!!!! QUE HERMOSO E INTERESANTE....AQUI EN MEXICO HAY RITOS Q DESGRACIADAMENTE DESAPARECIERON POR CULPA DEL CRISTIANISMO....OJALA ALGUN DIA PUEDA VER ESTE RITO EN VIVO

[kingmorbid]

It looks like a really, REALLY boring and dumb burning man.

Show respect for other peoples religions and Cultures

Christianity was Born From Paganism

even your God admits in the Ten commandments there are other Gods and Goddess

the bible is full of references to Other Gods and Goddess Christian Saints are Pagan Gods the Vatican Church has pagan god statues all inside ALL THE HOLIDAYS including christmas valentines day thanksgiving easter are all PAGAN HOLIDAYS

@sibeliandrift So I was right, they do have significance :) My analysis may not have been 100% dead on, but I think that considering I'm not well read on this festival, I did pretty well. hahaha.

@starofinanna

Red - chaos, desire, energy

White - strength, purity, steadfastness

Blue - wisdom, pathfinding, authority

Green Man - Cyclic Life, death and rebirth

May Queen (white) - Eternal Life, incorruptibility, the divine feminine

The drummers in the procession are usually black and white or gold symbolising the unstoppable force of time

There are others - fire people are usually gold, orange, red, earth people are brown and green, water people blue and white, air people white and yellow.

@alexjestaire This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life. Truly.

@lawrencesmallman I believe in spirits. Both good and malevolent. 

[sheavepin]

@lawrencesmallman You're the one who said Pagans are gonna burn. I can infer from that, that you either believe in hell and satan, or, you are planning to, or are hoping for, the murder of people of Pagan beliefs.
