    Transit of Venus

    On 6th June there will be a very rare astronomical event: a transit of the planet Venus across the face of the Sun. The last transit of Venus occurred on June 8th in 2004, and the next one visible from the UK will occur on 8th December 2125 (although there is another transit in 2117 which won’t be visible from the UK). The 2012 transit of Venus will be in progress by the time the Sun rises in the UK at 4:50am, and will be over by 5:55am. This means that only the very final stages of the transit will be visible from the UK, weather permitting.

    So what is a transit? Well, roughly every 105 years the orbits of the Earth and Venus align, and some lucky Earthlings are able to see, having taken necessary precautions, the silhouette of the planet Venus moving from one side of the Sun to the other. Be under no illusions, whilst this sounds like an amazing spectacle (and it is), in reality most observers will see a black dot on a orange/white background and wonder what all the fuss is about. But, there is a very good reason for observing the transit of Venus: precise timings of when the transit starts and stops from two different locations on the Earth can give information about how far the Earth is away from the Sun. These days we can use much more accurate methods to determine the distance to the Sun, but in the 18th and 19th Centuries this was the only way of measuring this distance with some accuracy

    Walpurgisnacht, and the coming Beltane

    At the end of this month, some of the old pagan souls left in this world, will endeavor to commemorate the ancient fire festivals of their ancestors.  

    On the 30th of April, the Germanic countries will celebrate “The Night of the Witches”, or Walpurgisnacht.  It is a fire festival from pagan times that was said to drive away witches with great bonfires on the eve of Mayday/The Beltane/May 1st.  On May the 1st, the Celtic countries will celebrate the Beltane feast.  

    It can still be seen in some parts of Britain today by the burning of a giant wickerman and many great bonfires.  The ceremony involving burning a wickerman was ancient when Julius Caesar witnessed it during his campaigns in Gaul (France).  

    He remarked how the interior of the wickerman was filled with condemned criminals and animal sacrifices.  

    The purpose of this ceremony can only be speculated at, but it is meant to burn the old and weak year (in effigy) while summoning the new year as seen in Spring.  

    The burning fires were designed to add their strength to the sun and bring back the season of life.
