Beltane is considered the start of summer. The Goddess and God in all their wonder come together at this time, as a promise, that the cycle of life will continue. There are so many things in this world to love and so many ways we can express our love. Many people dance around Maypoles in celebration. Those who don’t have access to a maypole may use ribbon wands or just simply dance. The point of this is to show your joy.
