Beltane: the Celtic festival of fire & fertility is the midway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice - marking the height of spring & the threshold of summer. It's a time when the Earth is fully alive, vibrant, and brimming with passion. The days grow longer, the sun stronger, and the world hums with the fierce joy of growth. On the eve of Beltane, Anna has a playlist packed with themes of fire, nature in bloom and the changing of the seasons.
