Beltane blessings to everyone!

It is the Eve of May, the pagan festival known as Beltane in Gaelic countries, St. Walpurgis's Eve in parts of northern Europe.
People light bonfires in honor of the season of blooming and fertility, and if they are pagan, to honor the Goddess.

May everything you plant, bear blossom and fruit.
May your May be merry.
May your happiness increase.

Blessed be!
