It's one of those cross-quarter days today: Beltane! In the northern hemisphere, at least. Here, in the southern hemisphere, it's growing colder and darker.
'S e Bealltainn a th' ann an-diugh! Ann an leth thuath, co-dhiù. An seo, ann an leth dheas, a tha e a' fàs nas fhuaire agus nas duirche.
`As might be expected of a festival that begins an agricultural cycle, weather divination was important at #Beltane, with frost being deemed ominous of bad times ahead, while rain was a sign of good fortune and a strong harvest.`
