BELTAIN SPECIAL PART ONE

Beltane: The Sacred Union of the Divine Masculine and Feminine

As the wheel of the year turns, we find ourselves moving from the playful promise of Ostara to the passionate embrace of Beltane. Where Ostara celebrated the virginal maiden — fresh, innocent, and brimming with new life — Beltane is the consummation of that promise. It is the celebration of the marriage bed, the union of opposites, the moment when the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine come together in ecstatic harmony.

Beltane, traditionally celebrated on May 1st, marks the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The earth is heavy with fertility; flowers burst open in vibrant colors, and life hums in every corner of the natural world. This is a festival of fire, passion, and sacred union.

One of the most iconic traditions of Beltane is the Maypole dance. A tall pole, often crowned with a wreath of flowers and trailing colorful ribbons, stands as a powerful phallic symbol — the axis mundi, the connection between heaven and earth. Dancers, weaving in intricate patterns around the pole, enact the dance of life itself: the spiral of creation, the blending of masculine and feminine energies. The wreath — lush, vibrant, circular — represents the yoni, the sacred feminine, while the pole penetrating its center speaks to the sacred masculine. Together, they symbolize the creative union that births all life.

Jumping the fire is another beloved Beltane tradition. Couples and individuals leap over the sacred flames to bless unions, spark fertility, or burn away the old. Fire itself — the living heart of Beltane — purifies, energizes, and consecrates. It is said that those who leap the Beltane fires together are bound in a spiritual marriage for a year and a day, a practice that harkens back to ancient handfasting ceremonies.

No Beltane would be complete without acknowledging the presence of the Fae. This is a liminal time, when the veil between worlds thins, and the spirits of nature — the Fair Folk — are particularly active. Beltane is one of the two great "spirit nights" of the year (the other being Samhain), and many traditions speak of offerings left for the Fae to gain their favor or avoid their mischief. Flowers, cream, honey, and sweet breads are traditional gifts left at the edges of gardens, groves, or sacred wells to honor the unseen ones.

The Fae, themselves beings that often defy rigid categories of male and female, mirror the fluid, potent energy of Beltane. Their magic is tied to the wild forces of nature — the very forces that Beltane celebrates in all their chaotic beauty.

Beltane reminds us that creation is not born from division but from union. The dance of light and dark, masculine and feminine, seed and soil, culminates now in a celebration of life itself. We are called to embrace our passions, honor our bodies, and recognize the sacredness of our connections — not just to each other, but to the earth, to spirit, and to the mysteries that dwell just beyond our sight.

Blessed Beltane! May your fires burn bright, and may your spirit dance in joyous union with all that is.

Next I will go more in depth about performing Sacred Union Magick. Both symbolically, spiritually and physically.

[old-discovery-road]

a time to remember , a time to forget

you think it will be different .

a lavender bush , sweet and earthy

it lures you in like deep sleep

and you follow

the honey bees buzzing at your ears

black toes on purple petals

and it seems it will be this forever

soft and serene.

it will not .

the stems become longer

and suddenly and slowly

the flowers are miles above

the buzzing a distant idea of what someone said

and you are buried in soil

rich in detail and taste

and roots wrapping around you

holding you close and swaying

singing silence like a lullaby

and in the back of your mind

you’ll swear

you smelled something sweet once.

Showing moral support for kuya Bam’s sprint to summer 🏃‍♀️ event run in school.😆 so I HATE running… but Yael said he’ll only run if I run with him and I said okay. So I ran… after a few steps I let go of his hand and said “YOU CAN DO IT BABY! GO!” And he sprinted off as fast as he could🤣 he even finished before his Kuya Bam wven though Bam started first😂 (Bam hates running too😂) On the way home… we walked home and both of them complained why I didn’t bring the car because they’re tired. Yael said, “my heart hurts, mommy, because of you… you made me run.” HAHAHA 😅 I guess we are all out of shape😂😅 #aylwardishmaelbon #firstgrade #03272022 #springtosummer (at River Valley Elementary School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeYN7G9OWuuUSiELkhBpczRSepyYoZ3VT-HW840/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have never seen someone so happy to be around a bunch of ferocious bees. I can’t get near one, let alone fifty of them surrounding me. O.O

There was a lot of hyperventilating on my part, but Lark seemed to be as charming to the buzzy bugs as she is to me. She survived her first encounter without a single sting.
