The wheel of time continues to turn and now we turn into balance. Beltane marks the halfway point between Spring and Summer. Beltane is also known as May Day. It was a day when pasture would be fertile and livestock would be turned out to fields. Beltane is a fire festival to rival in the fertility of the land.
The beat of the drum is now a loud pounding sound ringing out with a bright light and calling everyone to dance in the fertile lands and embrace the warm weather that will continue to bless us.
Beltane is one of the four fire festivals celebrated by Celtic Pagans and is associated with fertility. This is when the land is most fertile and bursting with life. Its when a May Bride is chosen, when the Green Man falls in love. One common way Beltane is celebrated is with a bonfire or the decorating of the May Pole. There are many customs and ways this can be done.
Now this turning of the wheel is also a great time to work fertility spells, have handfasting and enjoy the bursting peak of spring. I will tell you that I had great luck after many years of trying to conceive using this powerful energy to assist myself and husband on creating our beautiful daughter.
The most common Goddess and Gods celebrated at this time are fertility deities, marriage deities, Gods and Goddess of the hunt and of love.
The Pagan path can be overwhelming at times with many different traditions, beliefs and ways to celebrate. As always I encourage you to do what feels right to you. However this book is a great starting place for learning and ideas on ways to incorporate and celebrate the wonderfulness that is Beltane. Full of recipes, crafts and spell work for you to explore this is sure to make your planning a little easier
