Happy May Day! Also known as Beltane or Bealtaine, meaning bright fire.
Today celebrates the fire of life and the incredible aspects that represents. Such as the sun increasing fertility and outward, upward growth. The passion that resides inside us and ignites our interests, curiosity, explorations and love for the world. The fire of our life force that gives us energy, brings our dreams to life and creates. The fire of life force that is threaded through seed, soil, nut, baby and egg, pulling and pushing them to break open, to grow and bring their medicine into the world.
Each earth based festival is there to tie us into the earth and the land we are on. Reminding us that the processes the wild has, are the processes needed for recovery, life, growth and alchemy. Their stories, symbolism and wisdom drawing us into a deeper understanding of how to grow well, the vital phases of the earth and our own processes. As well as linking us with gratitude for the giftedness of this earth…..
