Beltane Bliss

First of May.

​

This day marks the shift from spring to summer on the Witches' Wheel of the Year when young animals are coming into maturity. In modern Wiccan traditions, there may be a play enactment of a God and Goddess coming together to form new life.

 

For all witches, it is a fire festival where bonfires are welcomed by the deities in celebration of the dawn of summer. It is a festival of sexuality and sensuality. Passion, creativity, courtship, sex, flirtation, conception, and more are the modalities most appropriate for the occasion.

​

Many witches choose to celebrate this day by paying tribute to the goddess within with roaring bonfires and a heated night spent with his or her sweetheart, this is also a great day for refresh all the gentle herbs you have placed around your house for scents. 

​

In the Tarot, this holiday may translate from the Four of Wands or the Lovers card.
