At the turning of the seasons, the Celts lit sacred fires to celebrate life, love, and renewal.
Beltane, celebrated on May 1st, marked the arrival of summer and the blossoming of life.
Communities gathered to light bonfires, believing the flames had purifying powers. Cattle were driven between fires to protect them from disease, and couples leapt over the flames to bless their union with fertility.
Today, Beltane reminds us of the deep connection between humanity, nature, and the sacred rhythms of the Earth.
