Beltane

The next festival in our Wheel of the Year journey is Beltane, celebrated around the beginning of May in the Northern hemisphere. Beltane is the mid point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. It marks Spring’s peak and the birth of Summer and is a celebration of the Earth’s fertile energy and life force at this time.

This is a time of abundance, union and life force. Flowers are blooming, new life is being born and the Sun’s strength is increasing. This is a fertile time in the natural world, and can help us to ignite projects, cultivate new actions and reflect on what we need in order to bloom. This increase in active energy, can leave us feeling a little worn out at times, so it is good time to ensure rest, self care and nourishment is established to balance this busy time.

This is a beautiful time to get outdoors and connect with nature; gather herbs to dry for later in the year, drink some fresh herbal tea, feel the sun on your skin, smell flowers and immerse in the buzz of life.

Find out more about this beautiful time by exploring the trees and plants of Beltane, which includes a guided Hawthorn ritual, along with some other ways to connect with the season. Our Beltane fire post guides you to connect with the empowering energy of fire for transformation and ignition!

Beltane blessings lovely soul,
