The first day of May; flowers in bloom,budding trees, luxuriant green fields, the blue rush of streams: all images of the growing, fertile,life filled Beltane season. Beltane begins the rule of the life-giving Goddess; personified by Mother Nature, Gaia, the powerful forces of regeneration and renewal. Her powers of growth, fertility and plenty bless us throughout the summer season as we tend our gardens, eating just picked, sun warmed tomatoes as we work. Her energies are abundantly present until her consort begins His rule at Samhain (Halloween) when we become more introspective again, quieting down into winter.

Wow! You said a mouthful! I have attended May pole ceremony in the nude on private property out in the woods and it was great. If all goes well I will be in the wilderness on a backpacking trip to a nude hotsprings this May 1st. If I am really lucky the group I am hiking with will hike nude! Happy Beltane Greenman.

Greenman, what a WONDERFUL picture you painted in your post.
I have absolutely no knowlege of Beltane, and I have never heard of it until now. Can someone tell me more of what it means and maybe where the word originated from?
Best wishes

Beltane is essentially the third fertility festival celebrated by many modern Pagan religions. It may be a survivor from the indigenous religion of the British Isles, when it would have marked the beginning of summer. It's when the growing season starts in earnest.
Here's a link to some articles if you have a few minutes and want some more information.
Happy Beltane!
