Happy Beltane

**musical mood preference: Talking Heads - Psycho Killer**

The second principal Gaelic pagan festival (first being Samhain or Halloween), Beltane is celebrated on May Day's Eve, considered the height of Spring in European tradition. Rather than honor Darkness and Winter like its counterpart, Beltane celebrates Light and Summer. It celebrates the Earth's awakening and thrust towards Summer. This holiday is actually one of the eight solar holidays of neopagans as well.

Beltane festival tonight. I am missing most of it because of work, but the end part should still be amusing enough on its own.
