Beltane

Magical slides from the Newgrange people...

So astronomically it's Beltane today, not last Saturday. Does that mean that in the Southern Hemisphere it's technically Samhain today? Confusing.

Outside the office window, apart from the fresh foliage it looks more like Samhain than Beltane, actually; lowering grey sky and a strong wind tossing the branches. I think it may be going to rain again...

Or maybe it was yesterday...

At Newgrange they think that Imbolc was yesterday, not the day before yesterday. Confusing. But it rained here yesterday, too, so if it please the gods, it will still be "Winter is gone"...

The Newgrange/Knowth etc website, incidentally, is terrific. Have a look at this. And this.

Blessed be!
