About Beltane:
Beltane, or May Day occurs on May 1. It is a Sabbat celebrating the union of the Lord and Lady and fertility, summer and life. It is often marked by bonfires and dancing around a may pole. It is often considered the opposite side of the coin of Samhain, celebrating life and the richness of life rather than death. Often cattle were driven between fires to purify and bless them for the year.
