The following was created using poems by John Herrick and Caitlin Matthews plus parts of a Ceremony found in The Book of Druidry. This ceremony is designed to be generic and for the use of those who do not have a specific God or Goddess to call upon, but nonetheless feel connected to the Celtic festivals. Some of the poems have been altered to fit the general concept of Beltane the original lines are bracketed.

The ceremony shall be as follows:
First: All will enter from the East in honoring of this being a solar festival. All holding an unlit candle. Second: Everyone who is participating will pick up a ribbon. Those who are playing parts of East, South, West, and North will stand in their perspective positions.
Third: The leader will open up the ceremony by lighting the fire and say the following:

LEADER:
In the beginning gleaming fire was I
Grant, O Spirits of our Celtic ancestors, [O God/dess] thy Protection,
And in protection, Strength
And in strength, Understanding
And in understanding, Knowledge
And in Knowledge, Knowledge of Justice
And in Knowledge of Justice, the Love of it
And in the Love of it, the Love of all Existence
And the Love of all Existence, the Love of Ourselves [the Love of God/dess
and all Goodness]

ALL MOVE ONE FULL TURN CLOCKWISE
ALL SAY: MAY THERE BE PEACE IN THE EAST
EAST:
We will go as wren in spring,
With sorrow and sighing on silent wing,
And we shall go in Our Ancestors names [Our Lady's name]
Aye, til we come home again

Then we shall follow as falcon's grey
And hunt thee cruelly for our prey
And we shall go in your good names [in the Good God's name]
Aye, to fetch thee home again

ALL MOVE ONE FULL TURN CLOCKWISE
ALL SAY: MAY THERE BE LOVE IN THE SOUTH
SOUTH:
Then we will go as a mouse in May
In fields by night, in cellars by day,
And we shall go in Our Ancestor's name [Our Lady's name]
Aye, til we come home again

Then we shall follow as black tom's cats,
And hunt thee through corn and vats,
And we shall go in your good names [in the Good God's name]
Aye, to fetch thee home again

ALL MOVE ONE FULL TURN CLOCKWISE
ALL SAY: MAY THERE BE HARMONY IN THE WEST
WEST:
Then we shall go as an autumn hare,
With sorrow and sighing and mickle care
And we shall go in our Ansectors names [Our Lady's name]
Aye, till we come home again

Then we shall follow as swift grey hounds
And hunt thy tracks by leaps and bounds
And we shall go in your good names [in the Good God's name]
Aye, to fetch thee home again

ALL MOVE ONE FULL TURN CLOCKWISE
ALL SAY: MAY THERE BE TRUTH IN THE NORTH
NORTH:
Then we shall go as winter trout
With sorrow and sighing and mickle doubt
And we shall go in Our Ancestors names [Our Lady's name]
Aye, till we come home again

Then we shall follow as otter's swift
And snare thee fast ere thou canst shift
And we shall go in your good names [in the Good God's name]
Aye till we fetch thee home again

ALL MOVE ONE FULL TURN CLOCKWISE

LEADER:
Come; let us go while we are in our prime,
And take the harmless folly of the time.
[We shall grow old apace,
And die before we know our liberty.
Our life is short, and our days run
As fast away as does the sun;]
And, as a vapor or a drop of rain
Once lost, can ne'er be found again
So when or you or I are made A fable, song, or fleeting shade,
All love, all liking, all delight Lies drowned with us in endless night.
Then while time serves and we are but decaying
Come, my friends, come, let's go a-Maying!

ALL SAY:
WE SWEAR BY PEACE, LOVE, HARMONY AND TRUTH TO STAND
HEART TO HEART AND HAND IN HAND
MARK, O SPIRIT, AND HEAR US NOW
CONFIRIMING THIS OUR SACRED VOW

All exit West by jumping over the fire and lighting their candle
