Beltane… continued

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

You have asked me about how this celebration of warmth and vitality applies to me today, and how this holiday helps to start my day off on a positive note.

First and foremost, with the exception of Hallows Eve, this is my absolute favorite holiday. To me, it feels like it is a celebration of life at its most vibrant and vital. New sprouts are reaching, new leaves unfurling. It is in this spirit that I wish to emulate.

I am striving to bring that sense of vibrancy and vitality into my attitude and outlook today, to notice the beauty of it in the fresh air and tender greens starting to opening up to seek the sun.

It is like that saying to “let light into your life”, although in this case it is more about letting spirit of Beltane into my heart and mind.

Beltane

Today’s meditation was fifteen minutes. Instead of using a guided meditation, as I have been doing recently, today’s meditation was self guided and focused on the significance of the holiday at hand and incorporating its theme into my day and my life.

BeltaneLike my meditation, my daily focus activity is a bit different today. I am not using the cards, because today I have Beltane to focus on as my theme for the day.  Beltane is a holiday for me, and is all about abundance and warmth.

Where Ostara (aka. the spring equinox) is a whisper of spring to come, Beltane is a trumpet that announces it is here in all its glory. Beltane is about that spark of warmth that Ostara whispers about now coming to fruition.

It is a time of vitality and virility, with life and promise around every corner and under every leaf.

I think this holiday has a lot to teach about welcoming warmth, positivity, and hope into my life.

Today is also, of course, Linette and I’s birthday.
