Holidays and observances

30 April was the Gaelic festival of Beltane, described by Gilbert Horner as "the greatest occult festival of the year, bar Halloween." It began at midnight, in the first minute of the first day of May. A guide for time travellers advised to beware of possible incursions from Dæmons on this date.
