Beltane And The Greewood Marriages
It's May... It's May... the lusty month of May...
Beltane, also known as “May Day,” is the ancient Celtic fertility holiday that celebrated the rites of spring with much frolicking and fun. It begins tonight at sundown April 30th and lasts all day on May 1.
Beltane signals the beginning of the bright half of the year. It means “Bright Fires,” or “Brilliant Fires.”
In ancient times, two great fires were lit, and made with healing herbs. The light would guide the townspeople through the night, and some would jump skyclad over the flames and or rides their animals between the two fires to be blessed by the sacred smoke.
It is also the holiday of soulful love, a time when we feel called to open our hearts and or connect more deeply with others. It celebrates love, attraction and courtship – and “mating season.” Here, we call it “wedding season.” Full Story
