Beltane Sabbat occurs on May 1 every year.  It is a day for fertility rites, light-hearted celebration and sexual revelry, love chases, maypole dancing, and performing the Great Rite to honor the Mother.

 In the Wheel of the Year, the Goddess and God reach young adulthood; both are in their green prime. They become lovers and consummate their union.

"Oh, do not tell the priest of our art, for he would call it a sin, for we've been out in the woods all night, a conjuring summer in."
