Beltane is a Celtic festival traditionally celebrated on May 1st, marking the beginning of summer. The veil between this world and the Otherworld was thought to be thin on this day, and fairies were believed to be especially active. Bonfires were lit on sacred hills, and the smoke was thought to help maintain harmony between the human world and the realm of the fairies.
Art by John Anster Fitzgerald (c. 1864)
