Earth Cycle and Workings
May 1 (or April 30th) is the half-way point between spring equinox and summer solstice. The earth has woken up, flowers are in full bloom, birds are building their nests and hatching eggs. The earth seems to be celebrating her own fertility and growth.
How the World Celebrates
Why do we celebrate holidays? – through history and cultures, we as humans choose to mark time and important events with celebrations. They are moments for us to pause from our daily activities and take time to reflect on the larger world. While there is no universal thread or experience that we all share, it is meaningful to understand how others celebrate so we can learn truths that we have in common. Learning lessons from all, while curating our personal celebrations from our own experiences and ancestors.
May Day Celebrations
May Day is a seasonal holiday held on May 1 celebrating the bloom of spring moving into summer. Celebrations were popular throughout Europe and then in America. The names were different in each region, but many of the traditions were the same. Modern pagans often call this time of the year Beltane, the Celtic May Day celebration.
In modern times May 1 has become International Labor Day and is celebrated throughout most of the world, although traditional May Day celebrations of spring are still held as well.
In many parts of Europe the first of May was celebrated in similar ways. Some see the traditions coming from the Roman Floralia festivals, and other themes from the Celtic Beltane ones. Either way, it is lovely to see these traditions that spread to many areas and eventually to the US as well.
The May Pole
The May Pole is a tradition celebrated in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Malta, Sweden, Belgium, England, Wales, Italy, Scotland, Canada, and the United States
A large pole from a fallen tree was erected in the town center and flowers and ribbons were placed on top. It’s believed this represents fertility and the coming together of the masculine and feminine. Townsfolk would dance around the pole braiding the ribbons together as they go. It is typically used for May Day, although some countries erect their May Pole on Midsummer.
Mediterranean Celebrations
Floralia - Roman
Floralia is a Roman holiday celebrating spring, flowers, and asking for fertility for the land. It was established as an official holiday by 238 BCE following a major drought that was threatening the food supply. In response the Romans built and commemorated a temple to Flora, asking her to bless the land.
People celebrated with dancing, feasts, performances, striptease and sexual liberty. They would make offerings of flowers to Flora and walked the streets with images of her decorated with flowers and hand out tokens with suggestive situations on them, or flowers that represented fertility.
There was a focus on flowers, greenery, and sexuality. People wore bright, multicolored clothing and made flower crowns, wreaths, and garlands.
Protomaya – Greece

Beltaine & Celtic Celebrations
Beltaine - Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man
Beltaine (pronounced Bee-awl-tin-ah) is a May 1st holiday celebrated in Ireland, Scotland, and Isle of Man. The name is derived from the Celtic god Belenes (Bel and tene for “fire”). Some places in Ireland still hold the name Bealtaine and indicate where ancient festivals may have been held. The earliest written mention of Beltaine is found in “Sanas Cormaic” in medieval Ireland (written by Cormac mac Cuilennáin king-bishop of Munster sometime before 900 CE).
Beltane Fire
Fires are an important part of Beltaine, a sacred fire was created for the community and was lit only using friction (called a needfire). People would put out the fires in their homes and relight them with torches brought back from the communal Beltaine fire. (It was considered bad luck to clean the ashes out that morning or you’ll have trouble lighting fires the coming year).
Blessing and Protecting the Cattle
Beltaine (and its opposite, Samhain) were important holidays to cattle herders (similarly to how the equinoxes are important to farmers).
They would take the cattle and have them walk between two Beltaine fires, or spread the ashes of the fires over them, to pass on protective qualities.
Beltaine Traditions
Beltaine was a traditional time for weddings and handfasting’s. It was also a time for temporary Greenwood marriages where young people would go into the woods and spend the night together bringing back greenery in the morning to decorate the town with.
Water is important to Beltaine in addition to fire. It was a day for visiting holy wells, the first water of the day was supposed to be magical. Also the dew collected before sunrise was considered sacred and brought health and happiness. Girls would sometimes roll in the dewy fields, wash their face with it, or collect it to use in beauty products

May Day Tarot Spread
Cycle of Growth
This spread is not original to me, I learned it many years ago and don’t remember where I found it, but I love it and use it often. Rather than taking each card individually, look at the growth process occurring through the cycle. What have you already experienced, what is yet to come? What lessons have you learned from the past, and what advice is in your future?

May Day Meditations
Late spring is turning into summer, it’s a time for celebrating love, sunshine, and fertility after the long winter. Let loose, push aside inhibitions and embrace love and creativity as it comes to you.
It’s easy to feel rewarded by the first seeds to sprout and then forget to continue your path towards growth. Ask for rain and the continued strength and growth it brings, growth doesn’t come from days of only sunshine.
Seek out healing. It doesn’t happen by accident, sometimes we need to go make the effort to see the results.
