This year we watched, from our candle-lit dinner table, an enormous orange Beltaine Moon rise up from the darkling hills and scribe an arc ever so slightly to the south a it gradually turned to gold and then to silver.

We both agreed that it was the most magnificent moonrise either of us had ever seen.

The two green candles represented for me the Beltaine fires, and promise of fecundity.

Then of course, we fulfilled our duties as Lord and Lady of the Beltaine to ensure that our creative crops are well fertilised.
