0106: A Celebration for Beltane, May Day, The May Queen & The Green Man

Laura writes, “In the Northern Hemisphere it is time to celebrate the Spring Cross between the Vernal Equinox and Summer Solstice. In other words we honor Beltane, May Day, the May Queen and the Green Man. Winter has pretty much passed where I live in the Northern Hemisphere and we are experiencing the Greening Time. The fires that burned in the hearths all winter have been extinguished and we light new ones with the embers of Beltane bonfires.”
