🔥🌿 Beltane Blessings 🌿🔥
As the wheel turns, we arrive at Beltane. This is a sacred fire festival of passion, fertility, and wild, blooming life. Celebrated on May 1st, Beltane sits opposite Samhain on the Wheel of the Year, marking the height of spring and the gateway into summer.
Rooted in ancient Celtic traditions, Beltane was a time when great bonfires were lit across the land to honour the union of earth and sky. Livestock were driven between the fires for protection, and people would dance, feast, and celebrate the fertile energy pulsing through nature.
This is a time of creation, desire, and awakening. The veil is thin not with spirits of the dead, but with the magic of life itself.
