What is Beltane?
Beltane is a traditional Celtic festival that marks the beginning of the warmer season, usually observed around May 1st in the Northern Hemisphere. It is one of the four seasonal festivals, along with Imbolc, Lughnasadh, and Samhain. Beltane is often associated with the midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice.
What's the Schedule?
This event will follow a schedule that includes some singing around the campfire, so please bring instruments, guitars, drums, cymbal, and most importantly a song if you have any!
We'll have a communal food table, so please bring something delicious to contribute!
Itβs traditional at Beltane celebrations to perform the symbolic union of the May Queen and the King of the Forest. There are ten roles to this very short play. Weβd love some of you to offer to play a part. There is audience involvement, and everyone will receive a script. As the God of the Forest and the May Queen dance around the fire, everyone else in the circle drum, clap, or chant - another reason to bring your drums! Beltane is the festival of fire and fertility, and as most country villages had a common or green, there was always room for celebration.
Beltane means 'fires of Bel' (Bel was a Celtic deity) and therefore is a celebration of fire. At 7.30pm, we will begin our procession to the burning of the wickerman. Before the event, we will send instructions on how to make a lantern if you wish, otherwise a jar with a candle inside is just as effective.
