Venus
Celebrate Beltane
A creation of Dryad Design. Neolithic stone carvings of Goddess images that have been found all
over Europe inspired Venus. She represents the voluptuous beauty and fertility of both the land
and her people. The snake coiling at her base is called “Uroboros”, and symbolizes the
never-ending cycle of life, death, and regeneration.

Merry Meet at Beltane,
Beltane is observed by Neopagans in various forms and by a variety of names.
Wiccans celebrate a variation of Beltane as a Sabbat, one of the eight solar holidays. Although
the holiday may use features of the Gaelic Bealtaine, such as the bonfire, it is more closely
related to the Germanic May Day festival, because of the focus on fertility and the ritual of
maypole dancing.
Some Wiccans celebrate High Beltaine by enacting a ritual union of the May Lord and Lady.
