Beltane

The name ‘Beltane’ means ‘fire of Bel’; Belinos being “one named for the Sun God.” Western European pagan traditions view this as a time of welcoming, abundance and fertility. This holiday celebrates the return of full-blown fertility, as well as marking the return of vitality and passion. As the warmer months begin, temperatures increase, the sun shines more and the plant world blossoms. An exuberant mood prevails. It’s a time of unabashed sexuality.

Manifesto

MANIFESTO POLITICO DISCLAIMER: Siamo consapevoli che il lesbismo può essere una rivendicazione tanto di un’identità politica quanto di un orientamento sessuale, e che reclama uno spazio “altro” anche rispetto al binarismo di genere. Nella nostra storia, però, l’utilizzo del genere femminile ha segnalato la nostra esistenza ai margini della marginalità, secondo una precisa volontà politica […]

Because it was an important moment of the year, and so many traditions developed around that agricultural 'pause' between efforts, many cultural events also occur(red).

#MayDay / #MayEve pays homage to a range of traditional, religious, and civil holidays like #Maious, #Floralia, #CalanMai, #Beltane, #PrvomajskiUranak, and #Kevadpüha.

#InternationalWorkersDay / #LaborDay has no direct connection, commemorating the start of a #LaborStrike for an 8 hour work day.
