Beltane – May 1

The Wheel of the Year

“The Return of Green”

Beltane is depicted in shades of bright, new greens and chartreuse.

She marks the return of green leaves to the world. Her eyes are the color of earth, as is her body.

Her expression is kind and playful, while her face reflects the fire of her yellow orb.

She is crowned in garlands of yellow forsythia representing the brightness of daylight and springtime.

She embodies the upward energy of plants returning to the world.
