Beltane is the name in for the month of May. Like Candlemas, Lammas and Halloweeen, Beltane is one of the corner days which fall between the solar festivals of the year (The Ancient Celts called this holiday Beltane and began celebrating at sunset on April 30th.. It marked the beginning of summer... Like Halloween, this is a night when witches, fairies and ghosts wander freely. The veil between the worlds is thin. The Queen of the Fairies rides out on a snow-white horse, looking for mortals to lure away to Fairyland for seven years. Folklore says that if you sit beneath a tree on this night, you will see her or hear the sound of her horse's bells as she rides by. If you hide your face, she will pass you by but if you look at her she may choose you.
