Today marks the beginning
of Beltane celebrations as it
is May eve.
You may know the name as
May Day rather than Beltane.
It's a day for Maypoles, fun
foods, good drinks and much
sharing.
So, what are we celebrating
on Beltane Eve and Beltane
Day?
Spring is at its peak; not that
we would know that here in
our town. Our neighbors got
10" and we got six or seven
inches of snow only a couple
of days ago.
And of course, the second
reason to celebrate is that
summer is 'round the corner.
I can hardly wait!
Of all of our eight yearly
celebrations; Spring, Sum,
Autumn, Winter, Mayday,
Halloween, etc. Beltane is
about having fun, letting our
hair down, as it were.
The way I feel about Winter
makes me think Beltane or
Mayday, if you prefer, is all
about celebrating the return
of warmth, blue skies, long
days and the pure joy of this.
Happy Beltane Eve . . .
