Callendar, The wheel of the year : Beltaine

The wheel of the year in wiccan tradition is the annual cycle of the Earth's seasons.
In wicca their are eight major hollidays.
Beltane is one of the four "fire festivals" or "greater sabbats". Although the holiday may use features of the Gaelic Bealtaine, such as the bonfire, it bears more relation to the Germanic May Day festival, both in its significance (focusing on fertility) and its rituals (such as maypole dancing). Some Wiccans celebrate 'High Beltaine' by enacting a ritual union of the May Lord and Lady.
It is celebrated with rituals by neo pagans wiccans druids etc at Apr 30 every ear
