Today is May 1–May Day, International Workers Day, or Beltane, depending on how you choose to celebrate it. Since I’m (usually) struck by how the weather matches the old Celtic holidays, I’ll talk about Beltane:
“The day was a traditional summer holiday in many pre-Christian European pagan cultures. While February 1 was the first day of Spring, May 1 was the first day of summer; hence, the summer solstice…was Midsummer.”
First day of summer, hm? I woke up to snow this morning. I think you failed us, Druids.
