In Irish mythology Bealtaine is said to be a time when the veil between this world and the Otherworld is at its thinnest.  Both worlds intermingle and when they unite magic abounds.  This is a night when witches, fairies and ghosts wander freely. The Fairies or the Sidhe move from their Winter homes to their Summer abodes - carefree, full of fairy mischief and fairy delight.  

It is told that on the eve of Bealtaine the May Queen arises from her Winter's sleep. The May Queen must marry the May King to ensure the close of Winter, sending the Queen of Winter away for the next 6 months.  The presence of the May Queen ensures the abundance of the earth once more, which now starts to blossom and bloom with crops and flowers.
