Get Ready for Beltane!

Beltane, which falls on May 1 in the Northern Hemisphere and November 1 in the Southern Hemisphere, is a celebration of fire, fertility, and the greening of the earth. In most traditions of Paganism and Wicca, it's a time to celebrate planting, abundance, and the return of life. In this e-course, we'll talk about ways to celebrate the bloom of new life, rituals, some history and folklore, Beltane fertility magic, decorating your altar, craft ideas and Beltane recipes.
