This is a beautiful time of year and throughout history and human culture this turning of the wheel from spring towards summer is celebrated with flower festivals from the Kawoni from the Cherokee, Hanami in Japan, Florifertum in ancient Rome, to the Maypole dancing, Walpurgis night and Beltane itself!
All to celebrate the return of life to the trees and plants and promise of harvest to come.
Beltane, literally meaning “Bright Fire” was to dispel the last of winter, the triumph of light over dark and the bonfires lit were for purification and healing.
For the banishing of the spirits of the night half of the year who roam one last time on Beltane.
So there shall be poetry and potions, connection to the Faeirie realm, a journey with Cernunnon the Horned God and a deep connection with nature.
Come and discover what awaits you if you dare!
Book early for as usual there will be some preparation for the week before.
Book early as places are limited!
