Beltane blessings!
On May Eve, Druids lit the Bel fires (bright fires, balefires) for luck and protection. Witches jumped the flames to fortify the protection spells. Cattle were driven between the balefires to safeguard the herd. Couples spent the night in the woods “A-Maying.” Married couples cavorted as well. They were allowed to remove their wedding rings, and for the night were free of the restrictions of marriage.
I imagine your May Day - Beltane - is a little less exciting this year. I know mine is! So, to help you transport back to medieval Scotland and Fairy, and plunge you into a kidnapping and budding love triangle (PG rated), I have placed The Beltane Escape on a Kindle Countdown.
