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.
Cast Light On a Summer Night!

The stronger light really shows up the dust. Doesn't it!
What better way to deal with it than to pack the ornaments into a box
and decide if they should collect dust elsewhere. Light in, dust out!

7. Tread More Lightly On The Earth
Do your bit for the planet this month by giving to a Eco charity,
signing a Greenpeace petition, investing in a hybrid vehicle or planting a tree. As the Greek proverb states: A Society Grows Great When Old Men Plant trees, Whose Shade They Shall Never Sit In.
Shield The Light And Protect The Planet.

8. Light the First Summer Barbecue
We Brits are all the same. One swallow doesn't make a summer but to
hell with that! The first warm day and the barbi invites go out.
It's the usual case of get the sausages on before the rain comes!
