What is Beltane?
Beltane, which falls on May 1st, is a period of festivities to celebrate fertility. In ancient times our ancestors often celebrated with bonfires, feasts, and joy. It is a time of happy celebration and welcoming of the fruition that will be birthed during the upcoming year!
Some Pagans believe that Beltane is a time to celebrate the Faeries because of the significance that the blooming flowers are homes for the faeries.
It’s also important to bear in mind that Beltane and fertility can be used to create a plethora of intentions for the following year. Fertility does not just mean physical birth. It can be abundance, a new home, or a new career path, to name a few.
