Description
As always, happy with some areas, not so happy with others... but overall, considering how rusty I am, I'm pretty happy with it. I had a helluva job with that fire - but sheer dogged stubbornness won through in the end! lol!Beltane is a Celtic festival, is the exact opposite of Samhain and is a celebration of life and the beginning of the lighter half of the year. (Samhain being the celebration of death and the beginning of the dark half of the year) This time of year marks the greening of the grass and the budding of the trees. Everything seems to be bursting with life! Some folks would not consider it to be true Beltane until all of the trees had produced leaves. In Wales and Scotland, nine men would light the fires with the nine sacred woods at dawn.
The Rabbit is one of the many symbols of Beltane, symbolising fertility and new life.
This is for Beltane contest.
