Beltane 2012

The Celtic festival day, Beltane, occurs on May 1 and is a cross-quarter day marking the beginning of summer in the ancient calendar. The celebrations began last night night, proceeded through the day with the welcoming of the sun, the selection of the May King and Queen, a Maypole Dance, and much feasting late into the evening. OTR supposes this festival gets plenty of attention if it occurs on the weekend; otherwise, it's likely just another day in the week unless your a hardcore Celt. Regardless, here is some music to honor the spirit of day.


Hope your Beltane was a happy one! Sumer is icumen in.
