Beltane - Witches Night 2022 A Seasonal Guide

“I am not afraid. I was born to do this.” – Jeanne D’Arc

Beltane season is here!

Nearly every group under the broad umbrella “Pagan” celebrates Beltane, stretching back into the ancient past. The central symbolism of this festival is fertility and virility. In other words, bringing opposites together and having some friction occur that produces a thing. In the beginning of the holy season, it is about the binary of opposition, but as we move into the later half of Beltane, it becomes about the plurality of reality.

Beltane marks the halfway point between Spring Equinox (March 21) and Summer Solstice (June 21). The festival begins in earnest on the eve of the Sabbat, at the sight of the rising moon. True Solar Beltane – the actual halfway point on the Earth’s orbit, currently aligned with 15º Taurus in western astrology – falls on May 5th. Interestingly, some ancient groups mark this day, as with the Irish observance, the Veneration of the Thorn. This is for Heathens the Holly King, who is coming into power at the next Sabbat, Litha or Summer Solstice...
