About Beltane
It is thought that the ancients only recognised two seasons, these being Summer and Winter. Beltane is the time when the Earth is literally buzzing with fertility. Life springs forth in all of its richness, and the land is covered with beautiful flowers; the freshly opened leaves of the trees are a quality of green that they only show at this time of year. (from the OBOD website)
Beltane celebrates the start of summer and the beginning of the crop and pasturing season. Its name can be translated as "bright fire" and may derive from the name of the solar god Bel or Belenus. It is a time when fires were lit on hillsides, and cattle passed through the smoke to be cleansed both literally and symbolically. Beltane is a festival of celebration, of long days, summer's warmth, and the blooming Hawthorn, or May Blossom.
