On May 1st, often it was ritual for a maiden to be chosen for the Beltane festival and
she would wear a white flowing dress (white for purity and virginity) and mayflowers or daisies in her hair, when night came
and the great fires were lit she would be taken to a special private spot where she would be prepared to meet the horned one
(a male taking on the role and personality of the god Cerrunnos) and she herself would take on the personality and role of
the goddess. They would summon or invoke the god and goddess for this ritual and make love in hopes to conceive a special
child from the magical union.
