- The UK is a nation of traditions, folklore and rites whose origins have been obscured by the mists of time. People from every corner have been meeting up for hundreds of years to dance, drink, dress up or throw flaming torches about as a way of celebrating death, fertility, hope or local pride. And these peculiar practices have a way of clinging on, and surviving longer than you would imagine.
A witches’ coven, a skeletal horse, Vikings, village rivalries and faceless musicians wearing straw masks all play their part in this video. Do you recognise any of these local rituals and celebrations?

I went to school in Haxey and lived in Westwoodside for a few years in the 1960s. My parents didn't let me go to Haxey Hood though. This is the first time I've seen what actually went on in the fields
Great stuff, especially the Lincolnshire hoods and the spooky Welsh horse from the documentary Here We Come A-Wassailing, which would be a good addition to the BBC iPlayer.
Loved this
They did a good job of making pagan an evil word. We see Community spirit and camaraderie here, not necessarily ungodly folk.
That's the christian propaganda machine for you.

Except for the ludicrous 'witches fertility cult' which has absolutely no relevance with the folk customs shown in the video there is nothing here that can be shown to be 'pagan'.
I Wonder how many of the traditions have been replaced lost or not enough indigenous people from the regions living in the area !!
Depends what you mean by 'indeginious'. If you done your 23 and me you would knew that R1a stands for southern Russia
This is what happens when you watch The Wicker Man too many times.
Human beans
It’s time we returned to the traditional ways of the people of these isles. If we made a few reasonable sacrifices to the gods then the price of electricity would come down and our schools would stop crumbling
Tongue firmly in cheek.
But how many Govt Ministers would we ( gladly 😁😁 ) have to sacrifice 🤔 and where can I sign up to participate ?
Shame it was foggy in Goathland
There’s some good pagan culture. That’s the real stuff from these isles, influenced by the land and the earth. None of that imported christian rubbish.. “… and did those feet..” no, they didn’t.
couldn't agree more !

None of the customs shown in the video have any 'pagan' origins.
The 'secret witches coven' (which has no relevance to the rest of the video) is just a lot of modern made up nonsense.
This was filmed before New Labour.
And the destruction of the working classes
Has this been verified?
Yes it’s the BBC (don’t believe me? It was a documentary on BBC) 😝

Taken from various documentaries.
The Up Helly Aa segment was from Blue Peter. I remember watching it at the time.
LOL !!!
Just to be clear.
Ignoring the hilarious and quite ludicrous 'witches fertility cult' (which has no relevance to the rest of the video) none of these customs can be shown to have 'pagan' origins.
For all the gods of the nations are demons
Slowly being purposely eradicated.
Nope. A silly comment.
Now with the help of organizations such as the BBC !
How we lived before political correctness went rogue.
All these customs are current.
Although I'm not sure about the witches.
