- **Event Name**: Beltane Ritual 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Beltane is a Gaelic (Irish and Scottish) fire festival celebrating summers’ arrival, held on the first of May.  It is one of the four major Gaelic fire festivals along with Imbolc, Lughnasagh, and Samhain.  The Gaelic fire festivals are also four of the eight major Wiccan holidays on the Wheel of the Year.  Themes of this holiday include fertility, abundance, passion, and rebirth.  Associated deities and symbolism of modern-day Beltane include The Maiden, especially Bride (“Angus and Bride [Brigid]”, Scottish maiden form of Brigid), the Horned God/Green Man (Herne the Hunter, Arawn, Cernnunos), Maypoles, green and flowering plants, local wildlife (i.e., bunnies, deer, etc.), and, of course, fire.  

As usual, we will be meeting in the octagonal library building outside of the main building of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia.  Doors open at 7PM for cleansing, clearing, announcements, and space setting - we look forward to seeing you then!
