Beltane is the Gaelic name for May Day, on May 1st, the time of festivals marking the beginning of the pastoral season and the celebration of fertility. Earth-based peoples have traditionally marked this holy day by large bonfires, much dancing, and often the erection of May Poles decorated with flowers and ribbons. Beltane is a cross-quarter day, which means it marks the midpoint between spring equinox and summer solstice.
Father Sun shines brightly
Warming mother Earth
Joining in creation
Nurturing growth
Beltane is a time of birth, so celebrate the newness of life by reconnecting with the earth. If you planted your garden at Spring, you should see the birth of your bounty.
