The Call Horn is brought to the warrior's lips and blown 3 times, and fire leaps up the fire sculptures atop the Acropolis, illuminating the scene.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ A huge big cheer goes up and the drums start their solemn mighty beat. The May Queen awakens and rises into herself - becoming her Summer Transformation. The world stills as the vision of the May Queen enters people's hearts and as one, Her honour guard and attendants, the Whites, move, as She moves, marking the Elements and all those gathered, with clarity, attentive intention and purpose.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ As the drums rise, the procession leaves the acropolis and head westward. At Choice Point, the May Queen could continue to go clockwise, to go back into the darkness of winter, back to the way things were. Instead, She chooses to go widdershins, anti clockwise, against what has always been. She begins the thrice wittichens enchantment. She chooses a new narrative; one of wisdom, love and action. Collectively we are facing a rite of passage and this is the first step. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ As She reaches Fire Arch she prepares to enter the otherworld, to go into the realms where rewiring can take place. Her Whites prepare to use their voices for the first and only time of the night. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #beltanefirefestival #bonfire2020 #festival #firefestival #edinburgh #igedinburgh #celtic #pagan #heritage #scotland #summerfestival #whatsonedinburgh #selfisolation #quarantinelife #onlinefestival
