Beltane

At Beltane, the Opposite Fire Festival to Samhain,the veil is again thin.

May 1st or the first Full Moon in Taurus. Is also the word for May's Eve and Fire of Bel in the Irish language. The Festival of Beltane is a celebration of the beginning of the second half of the ancient Celtic year, and the return of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. It is the beginning of the Mother's rule, and is one of the two most important Sabbats of the year. This is the compliment of Samhain, or All Hallow's Eve, the other time in the year that the veil between the Earth and the Otherworld is thinnest. At Samhain the Otherworld visits us, at Beltane we can visit the Otherworld.

Title the page, you can write it in English or Witches Alphabet. Spelling either Beltane, Beltaine, also spelled Beltine, Belltaine, also known as Cétamainor. Whichever you prefer.

To start this page, draw an BaleFire or Maypole.

We are not writing a Ritual, some things should be taught and not written down. But if you choose you can record a ritual after the rest.

For detailed information read here.

First and Foremost it is a feast and celebration


Make notes on your Altar, herbs you use. Deities.Incense recipe or Anointing oil.

For me the strongest connections to Ostara are Lilacs, Meadow-sweet and Rosemary. But that won't be the same for everyone. Put some thought into it. Here is another post that is a great reference.
