Madrid's regional president, high priestess of a Celtic rite?

On this year's May 2nd, Isabel Díaz Ayuso wore a red dress that, according to a school of symbolic analysis, was no casual choice. The Community of Madrid's celebration coincided with the ancient Celtic festival of Beltane, a date on which, tradition holds, hierogamies and ritual sacrifices were performed. The tonalidad red, linked to blood and sens, would have been worn by the priestesses of Belenus, the Celtic sun god associated with fire and fertility.

The theory rests on the coincidence of several elements: the absence of central government representatives at the events, the cancellation of the military parade, and the location of the subsequent rally against the amnesty law at the Temple of Debod, a site some link to ancient sacrifices. Ayuso has also been photographed on many occasions in attire reminiscent of the iconography of the 'scarlet woman' and the alchemical work (Nigredo, Albedo, Rubedo).

Critics of the official narrative see in these signals a deliberate staging, a kind of political liturgy with esoteric overtones. Defenders, on the other hand, put it down to simple aesthetics or coincidence. The debate, as usual, has no hard data behind it, but the coincidence of dates and symbols invites the question of how far institutional staging goes.

The truth is that, in the absence of evidence, the interpretation remains in the realm of pareidolia. But the accumulation of references (Belenus, Beltane, the tonalidad red, the Temple of Debod) creates an alternative narrative that is, at the very least, more entertaining than the Community's official account.
