Das Feuer ist zu Ehren des keltischen Gott des Lichtes, Bel, Beli oder Belius. Im mittleren Osten auch „Baal“ genannt. Beltane war ursprünglich ein Keltischen oder Druidisches Fest, um die Vereinigung der Göttin und des Gehörnten zu feiern. In Wales steht Beltane auch in Verbindung mit der Maikönigin und dem Maibaum.

- Beltane or Bealtaine is an ancient Gaelic holiday celebrated around May 1. Historically, this festival was celebrated in Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. There were similar festivals held at the same time in the other Celtic countries of Wales, Brittany and Cornwall. The festival survives in folkloric practices in the Celtic Nations and has experienced a degree of revival in recent decades. For the Celts, Beltane marked the beginning of the pastoral summer season when the herds of livestock were driven out to the summer pastures and mountain grazing lands. In modern Irish, Mí na Bealtaine ('month of Bealtaine') is the name for the month of May. The name of the month is often abbreviated to Bealtaine, with the festival day itself being known as Lá Bealtaine. The lighting of bonfires on Oidhche Bhealtaine ('the eve of Bealtaine') on mountains and hills of ritual and political significance was one of the main activities of the festival. In ancient Ireland the main Bealtaine fire was held on the central hill of Uisneach 'the navel of Ireland', the ritual centre of the country, which is located in what is now County Westmeath. In Ireland the lighting of bonfires on Oidhche Bhealtaine seems only to have survived to the present day in County Limerick, especially in Limerick itself, as their yearly bonfire night, though some cultural groups have expressed an interest in reviving the custom at Uisneach and perhaps at the Hill of Tara. The lighting of a community Bealtaine fire from which individual hearth fires are then relit is also observed in modern times in some parts of the Celtic diaspora and by some Neopagan groups, though in the majority of these cases this practice is a cultural revival rather than an unbroken survival of the ancient tradition. Another common aspect of the festival which survived up until the early 20th century in Ireland was the hanging of May Boughs on the doors and windows of houses and of the erection of May Bushes in farmyards, which usually consisted either of a branch of rowan (mountain ash) or whitethorn (hawthorn) which is in bloom at the time and is commonly called the 'May Bush' in Hiberno-English. The practice of decorating the May Bush with flowers, ribbons, garlands and colored egg shells has survived to some extent among the diaspora as well, most notably in Newfoundland, and in some Easter traditions observed on the East Coast of the United States. Beltane is a cross-quarter day, marking the midpoint in the Sun's progress between the vernal equinox and summer solstice. Since the Celtic year was based on both lunar and solar cycles, it is possible that the holiday was celebrated on the full moon nearest the midpoint between the vernal equinox and the summer solstice. In Irish mythology, the beginning of the summer season for the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Milesians started at Bealtaine. Great bonfires would mark a time of purification and transition, heralding in the season in the hope of a good harvest later in the year, and were accompanied with ritual acts to protect the people from any harm by Otherworldly spirits, such as the Aos Sí. Like the festival of Samhain, opposite Beltane on October 31st, Beltane was also a time when the Otherworld was seen as particularly close at hand. Early Gaelic sources from around the 10th century state that the druids of the community would create a need-fire on top of a hill on this day and drive the village's cattle through the fires to purify them and bring luck (Eadar dà theine Bhealltainn in Scottish Gaelic, 'Between two fires of Beltane'). In Scotland, boughs of juniper were sometimes thrown on the fires to add an additional element of purification and blessing to the smoke. People would also pass between the two fires to purify themselves. Beltane is observed by Neopagan in various forms, and by a variety of names. As forms of Neopaganism can be quite different and have very different origins, these representations can vary considerably despite the shared name. Some celebrate in a manner as close as possible to how the Ancient Celts and Living Celtic cultures have maintained the traditions, while others observe the holiday with rituals culled from numerous other unrelated sources, Celtic culture being only one of the sources used.

- Beltane is a fertility festival celebrated throughout the Eastern Lands. One of the Great Holidays, Beltane occurs in late spring. Couples jump over the embers of fires to ask for fertility in the coming year--whether human fertility or to ensure a good harvest. The festival is of some importance in Tamora Pierce's Tortall novels. In the third century of the Human Era the festival was already a holiday on April 30. Then, couples not only jumped over embers but people also danced on the Common and were out late. Rebakah Cooper had duty that night in 246 HE. She and her partners saved a well-off couple from being robbed. Her fellow puppy Verene and her senior partner Rollo were killed that night. Two centuries later Veralidaine Sarrasri was conceived in a Beltane night, when the god of the hunt, Weiryn, visited her mother. Because Beltane is a Great Holiday in the Eastern Lands not only Great Gods can pass between the Mortal Realms and the Divine Realms then but also Minor Gods like Weiryn or--after she died--Daine's mother, Sarra, once she became the Green Lady. Even King Jonathan and his wife Thayet honor the Beltane custom and jump over the embers every year.

Beltane staat dus voor licht en leven. thumb|300px|Beltane-dans (2006)thumb|300px|Het Wiel van het Jaar
