As I suffer with a truly debilitating case of some sort of bug running thru me right now, I can’t help but circle back to one of my favorite holidays- Beltane- that was nearly ruined thru a traumatic series of events five years ago this month. My body is in full purge mode, and it’s no wonder- the body remembers, and while no, I don’t think this is entirely trauma related, I do know the anniversary has been bringing up a lot of feelings related to it all, and certainly had me in a weakened state. This is interesting, because with Beltane being one of the chief fire holidays, it forced me to remember the power of fire. It fortifies, it alchemizes, it cleanses, it purges. Whether I celebrate in ceremony as I did that day all those years ago, or purge the last of the grief five years later, it’s all part of the same circle, the same hoop. Blessed Beltane to you all, however you celebrate- and if it’s just the flicker of a flame, make sure you include your little piece of fire 🔥 oxo
