The Pagan fertility and sexual rituals in May…
Beltane happened on May 1.
The pagans of Beltane celebrate sex, fertility and life!
It always pays tribute on the first day of May and is known as May Day, Wolpurgisnacht, Ruddy, Rudmas and Tana Festival.
When celebrating nature, it is a day to intoxicate at the peak of spring.
Growing up, we would dance around the penis symbols of the May Pole, and I remember the elected “Madame Godwa” riding a white horse through our town.
It is said that naked long hair covers her breasts and our clothes will wear flesh-colored body suits, but the emotion of this pass-through is the same.
The astrological significance of Beldan is that it is spring equinox and Summer solstice.
In astrology, dating is never a date degree The twelve zodiac signs, in this case, are 9º Taurus. When the sun is near this level any of Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius)we take into account the positioning between the vernal equinox and the winter solstice.
