BELTANE

The 'Wheel of the Year', the relatively modern amalgamation of the seasonal festivals of the Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and Norse peoples, features eight different festivals taking place roughly twice every season, most importantly during the solstices and the mid-points between them.

Between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice is where Beltane is celebrated, the beginning of the sun's final waxing cycle towards its highest point in late June. With crops and plants ripening and nature being fully awake, Beltaine was celebrated - and is still celebrated today throughout parts of Ireland and the rest of the world - as a festival of fertility, creative energy and fruitfulness.
