This ancient fertility festival celebrates\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003ethe arrival of summer and the bounty of the land: the flowers are in bloom, the forests and hills are teeming with newborn life, and the crops are growing. After long months of cold, the land is once again alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf there is any one practice related to Beltane, it's the bonfire. Beltane, alongside Imbolc, Lughnasadh, and Samhain, form the Fire Festivals, half of the ancient Wheel of the Year solar calendar. The other half is the Sabbaths, or the High Holidays, on the Solstices and Equinoxes. Each of these ancient celebrations marks the passing of time, always with a cleansing rite of fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet for Beltane, fire is more than symbolic. Landing as it does on May Day, this ancient holiday is an important moment on the Celtic calendar, when the balance tips from darkness to light as the Sun slowly moves towards its zenith overhead. Bonfires were lit in honor of the Sun, seen as a protective father figure, to ask for protection as crops and herds began to grow in the warm Spring weather. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to learn more? \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"What is Beltane?\" href=\"#h_90555706819301748636951567\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCheck out our blog on Beltane's origins here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWhat does the Beltane candle smell like?\u003c\/em\u003e Primarily rose and jasmine, softened by herbal clary sage and warm frankincense.
