Walpurgia Feast, Walpurgisnacht (Thrimilci Eve) Beltane, May Day
The festival of Walpurgisnacht, a night both of revelry and darkness. The nine nights of April 22 (interestingly enough, the modern festival of Earth Day) to April 30 are venerated as remembrance of the AllFather's self-sacrifice upon the World Tree Yggdrasil. It was on the ninth night ( April 30, Walpurgisnacht) that he beheld the Runes, grasped them, and ritually died for an instant. at that moment, all the Light in the 9 worlds is extinguished, and utter Chaos reigns. At the final stroke of midnight, the Light returns in dazzling brilliance, and the bale-fires are lit. On Walpurgisnacht, the dead have full sway upon the Earth; it is the ending night of the Wild Hunt.
May 1 is the festival of Thrimilci; the beginning of summer. It is a festival of joy and fertility, much like Ostara; however, most of the Northern World is finally escaping from the snow at this time.
Beltane has long been celebrated with feasts and rituals. Beltane means fire of Bel; Belinos being one name for the Sun God. As summer beings weather becomes warmer, and the plant world blossoms.
In old Celtic traditions it was a time of unabashed sexuality and promiscuity where marriages of a year and a day could be undertaken but it is rarely observed in that manner in modern times.
In the old Celtic times, young people would spent the entire night in the woods "A- Maying ", and then dance around the phallic Maypole the next morning. Older married couples were allowed to remove their wedding rings (and the restriction they imply) for this one night. May morning is a magical time for wild water (dew, flowing streams, and springs) which is collected and used to bathe in for beauty, or to drink for health.

May Pole was the focal point of English village rituals. Many people would rise at the first light of dawn to go outdoors and gather flowers and branches to decorate their homes. Women traditionally would braid flowers into their hair. Men and women alike would decorate their bodies. Beltane marks the return of vitality, of passion.
Breads and cereals are popular at this time. Try oatmeal cakes or cookies sweetened with dab of honey. Dairy foods are also appropriate.
