Beltane

Beltane is a fire festival of the wheel of the year and is often known as May Day. It signifies the height of spring as it sits between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Beltane is about celebrating life and fertility, with the May Queen being crowned as she awakens the land with her love, joy and maiden energy.
