Beltane is a Celtic word which means “fires of Bel”, a Celtic deity. Like many Celtic festivals, the celebration tied in with the needs of the community. For the Celts, Beltane marked the beginning of the pastoral summer season when the herds of livestock were driven out to the summer pastures and mountain grazing lands. At this time the community would be hopeful for a fruitful year for their families and fields.
Beltane rituals would often include courting: for example, young men and women collecting blossoms in the woods and lighting fires in the evening. These rituals would often lead to matches and marriages, either immediately in the coming summer or autumn. Other festivities involved fire which was thought to cleanse, purify and increase fertility. Cattle were often passed between two bonfires on the Oidhche Bhealtaine (eve of Beltane) and the properties of the flame and the smoke were seen to ensure the fertility of the herd. These bonfires were also seen as a time of purification and transition, heralding in the planting season and the hopes of a good harvest ahead.
Even today, fire festivals are held in many places to celebrate Beltane. People leap over the fires to bring them good fortune, fertility (of mind, body and spirit) and happiness for the coming year. The largest Beltane celebrations in the UK are held in Edinburgh. Fires are lit at night and festivities carry on until dawn. All around the UK fires are lit and private celebrations are held amongst pagan worshipers and those honoring their Celtic ancestry to mark the start of the summer.
Although commonly held on May 1st, Beltane is a cross-quarter day, marking the midpoint in the Sun's progress between the spring equinox and summer solstice. Since the Celtic year was based on both lunar and solar cycles, it is possible that the holiday was celebrated on the full moon nearest the midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. The astronomical date for this midpoint is closer to May 5 or May 7, but this can vary from year to year
Like the festival of Samhain, opposite Beltane on October 31 Beltane was also a time when the Otherworld was seen as particularly close at hand.
Another common aspect of the festival which survived up until the early 20th century in Ireland was the hanging of May Boughs on the doors and windows of houses and the erection of May Bushes in farmyards.

The most powerful lawyer in Europe, the man who took down Volkswagon REINER FUELLMICH will take the elites and WHO in a Nuremburg 2.0...
A few months ago, attorney Reiner Fuellmich spoke to Jerm Warfare about his plans to take the WHO to court for crimes against humanity. He is one of the most powerful lawyers in Europe and is currently preparing the largest class action case in history, also known as 'Nuremberg 2'.
A few days ago, Fuellmich spoke again with Jerm Warfare to review the latest state of affairs. "There is light at the end of the tunnel," he said. "We have won lawsuits and are going to win many more."
During the interview, he said of the corona approach, "These are the worst crimes against humanity ever committed." The few people who can still think independently, about 10 to 20 percent of the population, know that this was never about a virus or health, but about the thinning of the world's population and control, according to the lawyer.
Nuremberg 2
The corona vaccines have nothing to do with vaccination, but are part of genetic experiments, he said. Fuellmich added that the players make a lot of mistakes behind the scenes. For example, he thinks that the vaccine makers did not expect that so many side effects would already occur.
He spoke to a whistleblower who said that it was initially planned to roll out this entire scenario only in 2050. Subsequently, the people pulling the strings became greedy and it was decided to implement the plans much earlier, according to the whistleblower. "I think that's why they make so many mistakes," said Fuellmich, who has taken statements from more than 100 scientists and experts.
The lawyer went on to say that a special court, Nuremberg 2, may be needed, as this is now so large that it may exceed national courts. "We have the proof."
Europe: main battleground
Who are those people who are pulling the strings? According to Fuellmich, it concerns a group of about 3000 super rich. Klaus Schwab's Davos clique, among others, belongs to this group. What do they want? Full control over the people. “They bribe doctors, hospital workers and politicians. People who do not cooperate are threatened. They use all kinds of psychological techniques to manipulate people. ”
Fuellmich also spoke to another whistleblower who explained why Europe is the main battlefield of this war. “Europe is completely bankrupt. The pension funds have been completely robbed. That's why they want to bring Europe under control before people find out what's going on. ”
Many people will die
The mainstream media pretends that a majority of people are in favor of the measures. According to the lawyer, that is certainly not the case. Almost everyone he speaks to in Germany knows that, for example, masks do not help and is informed by alternative media. "The old media is dying."
His advice? Spread the truth and the facts as much as possible and don't waste your energy on people who really want to get vaccinated. “We cannot save everyone. Many people will die. ”
