'May 1st, the Celtic celebration of BELTANE, is half way between the Spring Equinox of new energetic beginnings and the Summer Solstice of giving expression to the seed previously sown. Beltane combines the two aspects with energetic expression and even a bit of wild abandon. It is the union of male and female aspects, active and receptive. the godhead and the goddess. This uniting of energies shows in nature with increased blossom on trees and flower, animals mating to provide future generations of their kind and people increase their activity, often outdoors with projects to make life more enhancing.
Traditionally Beltane is celebrated with Maypole dancing and jumping twin fires that have been united to one as the embers continue to burn.' Kaaren Whitney 2006

Beltane is the most passionate time of year - a time of fullness and lushness and expansion - a time for action - outside celebrations - getting out and about - dancing.
Be clear about your direction and flow with Nature's vibrant energy and vigor.
