Namron's springtime celebration of peace, prosperity, and fertility. Every
culture has ancient traditions connecting spring with ideas such as fertility,
life, and rebirth or renewal. Beltane is a time to lay down your weapons,
show your fighting prowess in games of strength and skill, and celebrate
childhood and beauty.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
