The passing of Bealtaine into Lughnasadh sees the beginning of the thinning of the veil, as trees begin to drop their leaves and we literally "see" deeper into the woods.
Lughnasadh is the final of the four primary festivals in the ancient Celtic calendar. The Celtic year began with Samhain in October, preparing for winter and the end of the harvest. Next was Imbolc in February to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of lambing season. Bealtaine, the most important festival in May, was all about summer. Celtic philosophy revolved around the concepts of light and dark, and the year was divided into a dark half (beginning with Samhain) and a light half (beginning with Bealtaine). Each half was also quartered, with each quarter marked with a festival. So naturally, Bealtaine was the happiest celebration. Finally, Lughnasadh in August rounded off the year by welcoming Autumn, the beginning of the harvest, and the end of summer.
