Beltane (May 1)
Nothing speaks of spring like bluebells and beeches. This time was celebrated by the Romans with the festival of Flora, the goddess of flowers, and with the Walpurgisnacht celebrations in Germanic countries. It is associated with the greening of the world, youthfulness and flourishing.
