Bealtaine on May 1st is a Greater Sabbat. As is with all Celtic festivals it is celebrated from the eve, which is dusk of April 30th until dusk of the following day. Witches generally celebrate it on the eve.
Bealtaine (pronounced Be-yol-tinnuh), and meaning “Bright fire” or “Bel-fire”, is also known as Beltane, and along with Samhain is considered to be the most important of the festivals. Bealtaine is associated with an old custom of lighting bonfires to protect cattle from witches! May Day, is still celebrated in villages and towns all over Britain and Ireland.
