Beltane and the Full Moon
Traditional Timing
Beltane is a Celtic festival of fertility and life, originally tied to the full moon between the spring equinox and summer solstice, often the fifth full moon after the winter solstice. In 2025, that falls on May 12.
Modern Celebrations
Today, Beltane is mostly observed on April 30–May 1 (May Day or Walpurgis Night). Though now fixed to a date, some still honor the full or waxing moon for rituals.
Significance
Beltane celebrates fertility, joy, and the return of summer. It features fire, dancing, and maypole traditions symbolizing growth and sensuality.
Summary
Once a lunar festival, Beltane’s original timing persists in some circles, with the 2025 full moon celebration on May 12.
