Happy Beltane folks!
This is by far my favourite festival and my favourite time of the year. At Beltane we celebrate spring, the emergence of life, nature in bloom, love, passion and sensuality. In short, we celebrate all things that make life beautiful.
For a moment, I was worried that we'd have the wettest, coldest Beltane ever but the rain ceased and the sun came out right on cue.
As always, hubby and I attended the celebrations at the Goddess Hall last night. We had planned to go to the early morning celebrations in Chalice Wells this morning as well but a final downpour and a nasty cold made us decide to spend a bit of extra time under the duvet.
Here are a few pictures from this lovely weekend.
