Beltane has long been celebrated with feasts and rituals.
The
name means fire of Bel; Belinos being one name for the Sun
God, whose coronation feast we now celebrate. As summer begins, weather
becomes warmer, and the plant world blossoms, an exuberant mood
prevails. In old Celtic traditions it was a time of unabashed sexuality
and promiscuity where marriages of a year and a day could be undertaken
but it is rarely observed in that manner in modern times.
I have been making prints and sticking them on boards, ready to hang, I will add them to my shop soon. Including the picture above once I have photographed them.
