again, from sasstrology:
"Beltane is the real love holiday – no cards and candy, just raw, sensual passion. Forget about innocent maidens dancing around the May Pole – on the Celtic isles, this ancient festival marked the emergence of a young god into manhood. Awakened by the forces of nature, he and his goddess succumb to love’s pleasures as they lie down to “fertilize” the fields. On this day, all existing obligations are set aside and a woman can choose any man she fancies. Children born of these unions were considered holy, blessed by the gods.
Beltane, like its counterpart Samhain (aka the Day of the Dead), divides the year into two main seasons – summer and winter. In olden times on May 1, people rose at dawn to welcome the return of the sun god Bel by gathering blossoms and branches to decorate their homes. Women braided flowers in their hair. Giant bonfires were lit that night, and there was much feasting. Food was always set aside for the faery folk, as the veil between the two worlds became thin at this seasonal turning point. Legend claims that if you sit beneath a tree on Beltane Eve, you may catch a glimpse of the Queen of the Faeries riding by on her white horse – but don’t look her in the eye or she may spirit you away to her realm."
so the sun is shining, flowers are in bloom, birds are chirpring... happy loving. and if he screws up later just remember there comes a time of the year when he'll get so dead.
