May Day/Beltane honors nature's incredibly fertile energy at this time of year, the equality of male and female, and <span>the coming of the summer sun which nourishes and heals, through traditions such as fertility rites,</span> fire festivals, <span>handfasting, flower gathering, and dancing around the maypole.

<p>So bring your "bright fire" with a memory of this holiday or a celebration of what it represents.</p>
