The Celtic Wheel ~ Beltaine 2010
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Earth has awakened from it’s rest and gestation. Trees are budding, flowers blooming, calves are nursing. All is fresh and new. Creativity and sexual drive is in the air.
May Day is the time when we celebrate the coming summer. In our collective consciousness, we seem to fuse historical practices of the Beltaine fire festivals and Maying practices. All of these rituals are concerned with the observance that the wheel turning to a time of fertile abundance and vitality, and the notion that at this time the veil is particularly thin. Faeries abound, witches play, and the Otherworld joins with Everyday world ~ the mystery of easy passage between the worlds.
We can imagine that rituals would vary depending on whether this thin veil brings about joyful play in a community, or fearful searching for protection.
