If you live above the equator, you're preparing for Beltane, a time of great fertility -- for the earth itself, for animals, and of course for people as well. This season has been celebrated by cultures going back thousands of years, in a variety of ways, but nearly all shared the fertility aspect. Typically, this is a Sabbat to celebrate gods of the hunt or of the forest, and goddesses of passion and motherhood, as well as agricultural deities. Meet some of the gods and goddesses that can be honored as part of your tradition's Beltane rituals: Fertility Deities of Beltane
