At this time of year, giving thanks to the harvest is a ritual our ancestors would have taken part in through the traditions of feasting, making offerings to the earth and lighting sacred fires.  A good harvest could have meant the difference between life and death in past times.

Its more than just a moment in time.  It’s a portal of awareness.  I think we can all agree that the worlds events seem to be incongruous or more strongly, deeply and violently against our integral nature of hope and belief.

Beltane is a fire festival at its core. Lighting a flame—whether it’s a grand garden bonfire or a single beeswax candle—is a powerful way to honour the element of transformation and passion.
