Please join the Greenlake Grove outside at north Greenlake to celebrate the rite of Beltane. All those of good intention are welcome, regardless of experience or affiliation.
From the order of Bards Ovates and Druids:
It is thought that the ancients only recognised two seasons, these being Summer and Winter. Beltane is the time when the Earth is literally buzzing with fertility. Life springs forth in all of its richness, and the land is covered with beautiful flowers; the freshly opened leaves of the trees are a quality of green that they only show at this time of year. At Beltane the Lady of the Land takes the hand of the Horned God. Some celebrate Beltane on the dates given above, whilst others look to the flowers of the May tree as their signal that Beltane has, at last, arrived. https://druidry.org/druid-way/teaching-and-practice/druid-festivals/beltane
