If you are planning a fire at Beltane or Samhain (or even as part of any Heathen\Pagan ritual) then consider doing it the proper "heathen" way of Tein'-éigin, Neid fire, Notfeuer, Nodfyr, Nedfres, Nedfri as seen in this video :) For some musical accompaniment you could go with the haunting German folk song Notfeur by Belborn (https://youtu.be/MRmh-d6SYyU ) or the black metal track Nauthiz Notfeuer by Nahtrunar (https://youtu.be/rYMCeRZIl18 ) So roll out your fire churn (this may be the only one in England :) ), site it on a knoll or between 2 streams,extinguish all fires and lights in the neighbourhood, round up 9 by 9 first-begotten sons, get our your oak auger and log,churn the fire, welcome in the ember, feed with tinder and breath, praise the fire,build it up, make offerings,make it smoky, then everyone including livestock walk through the smoke and jump through the fire to purify, and relight all other fires from the new pure fire...
