Welcome to the Horn and Cauldron podcast…
In this episode, we discuss Beltane. Beltane is usually held on May 1st, which is about halfway between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. This festival was popular with herding communities and was traditionally the time that livestock was taken out into the fields after winter and the birthing season. Historically, Beltane has been celebrated with bonfires, feasts, decorating with ribbons and flowers, honoring the Fae, visiting holy wells, and other fertility rituals.
In this episode, we discuss the history of Beltane, its traditions, and practices. We share and discuss ways to celebrate Beltane, including spells and correspondences, and a full correspondence list.
