Nordic clan lifts customs: Belanegarten at Prandegg Castle!

The Nordic clan, which has been coming together regularly at the Preandegg Castle for five years, brings ancient traditions and customs to life. This group appears in traditional clothing and carries out rituals that represent a popular Highlight for visitors to the adjacent tavern. A particularly important part of their activities is the "Belanegarten", a symbolic place where flowers and seeds are introduced as offerings for Nordic gods. This garden, which is not mowed, offers habitat for insects and small animals and has developed into a retreat for animals.

In the coming year, the Nordic clan plans to redesign the "Belanegarten" and to make it accessible to the public. For the group, this garden is a sign of customs living and natural spirituality that are closely connected to the cycles of nature. The efforts of the clan also reflect the traditions of the Celtic Festival Belane, which is celebrated on May 1st and marks the transition between the seasons. Belane symbolizes the beginning of summer and addresses fertility, growth and the recovering of life after winter, such as Celtic mythology reported.

The rituals of Beltans

Beltane has its roots in the agricultural practices of ancient Celtic tribes that developed rituals that were in harmony with the natural cycles. This festival was originally a fire -proof that initiated the beginning of the agricultural season and symbolized fertility and abundance. The traditional celebrations included inflaming bonfires on hills to donate light and warmth, as well as the maypole dance, which celebrated the fertility of the earth. Community meals were also an integral part of which families and neighbors gathered to celebrate the abundance of the coming season.

Belane experienced over the centuries, especially with the spread of Christianity, but many customs were kept in folklore and local celebrations. Today, modern Pagans and Wiccans celebrate Beltans with a mixture of old rituals and contemporary practices, including fire ceremonies, fertility rituals and activities for the worship of nature. Celtic Mythology Worldwide describes this as a significant aspect of the festival and the connection to nature.

The Nordic clan at Prandegg Castle not only goes on a journey through time into the past, but also actively promotes the encounter and exchange with interested parties and visitors. With their rituals and the Belanegarten they set a sign of living customs and in this way combine with the deeply rooted traditions that are also important today.
