1. Light Your Own Beltane Fire
In pagan tradition Celtic countries marked the midpoint between
the
Spring equinox and the summer solstice with the May Day festival
of Beltane. It marked the beginning of summer and was when the cattle were
driven up to their summer pastures.
Rituals were performed to protect the cattle, crops and people. Special bonfires were lit and people and cattle were brought up to their summer pastures. Feasts were prepared and barns and houses were decorated with yellow May flowers.
Celebrate the coming of summer by lighting a bonfire, chimnea or patio heater for the first time.
