Beltane / Midori No Hi (みどりの日)
The Gaelic May Day Festival
A celebration about fire, the height of Spring and love!
What is Beltane?
Beltane was one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals (Samhain, Imbolc and Lughnasadh being the others). It marked the beginning of the pastoral summer season when livestock were driven out to the summer pastures. Rituals were held at that time to protect them from harm, both natural and supernatural through rituals with fire, but also to protect crops, dairy, people and encourage growth! The fairies, older gods and nature spirits also played a big role and many rituals had as a goal to appease them all.
In 2025 we'll celebrate Beltane on the 3d of May due to it being a weekend, but some celebrate it when the hawthorne blooms. As it in any way takes us closer to summer and the sun isn't at it's highest energy just yet, it feels like a fitting time in the Northern Hemisphere to gather and celebrate with music, food and dance!
Midori No Hi
Greenery Day (4th of May 2025)
Originally the celebration of the Japanese Emperor Shōwa, but nowadays the day to commune with nature and be thankful for blessings.
We celebrate this day at the same time as Beltane, because of it's close connection to nature and the Shinto practice that sees everything is sacred.
