For innumerable generations, the ancient Sacred Calendars regulated sowing and harvest times, activity and break times, fertility and blooming times, in a cosmic balance that we have to honour and preserve.

Eight “magical” times, peculiar days, beat time of seasons passages and living being perceived as the Nature’s alteration of energy levels. When humanity understood, it started to celebrate the natural life’s cycle with rituals and festivities.One of these moments happend with the incoming Spring, a kind of revival, leaving the cold Winters, between the end of April and the beginning of May.

An ancient pagan feast, purely gaelic, celebrated in this period, took the name of Beltane, a term that derives from the old Irish language that means “bright fire”, used for the month of May.

This festivity was dedicated to Bel or Belenos, god of fertility, and the main theme of this party was the fecundity, correlated in a clear way with the rebirth of Nature after her seeming death of Winter.Bonfires were used to urge the fertility of earth, animals and human beings.This event is still celebrated today during the night between the 30th of April and the 1st of May. In other places, for example in Europe, where this party is called “Calendimaggio” or “Primo maggio”, the preceding traditions consist of people dancing around a stake, adorned with flowers and ribbons, an explicit phallic symbol, as well as a symbol of fertility and vitality, it’s no accident that it’s bound for the belly of Mother Nature.

Beltane is a moment when the light and life energies show themselves in their most joyful and triumphal aspect. Our biorhythms are now adapted to increased hours of light and we have put the cold periods behind us, so this is the right moment to perform!Maybe it’s no accident that “Primo maggio” (in English “First of May”) is still a holiday, even if for different reasons and it is energetically certain to know that people gather to celebrate this seasonal sacredness.
