Beltane (A Pagan, Neo-Pagan, Wiccan festival) celbrates the Earth's renewed fertility and many celebrate it as May Day, not really knowing that our Earth has become more fertile, as well as humans and animals.
There is a video on YouTube called 'Wicca' and it shows a coven, the Raven and the Rose, preparing for Beltane. For many, only Hallowe'en (Samhain) is more important. It is one of the eight Sabbats; they are;
Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, Mabon, and Samhain.
You can say.. "Have a blessed Beltane" or "Have an Enchanted Beltane" If you are wishing someone younger than you or newer than you to a pagan path you can say "Beltane Blessings"

Wiccans and Wiccan-inspired Neopagans celebrate a variation of Beltane as a Sabbat, one of the eight solar holidays. Although the holiday may use features of the Gaelic Beltane, such as the bonfire, it is more alike the Germanic May Day festival, both in its significance (focusing on fertility) and its rituals (such as maypole dancing). Some Wiccans celebrate "High Beltaine" by enacting a ritual union of the May Lord and May Lady. Among the Wiccan Sabbats, Beltane is a cross-quarter day; it is celebrated in the northern hemisphere on 1 May and in the southern hemisphere on 1 November. Beltane follows Ostara and precedes Midsummer.
