Little did I know growing up that my birthday was actually on the date of an ancient pagan ritual celebrating fertility and spring. It explains a lot, though. And this year it almost coincides exactly with the full moon (which is tomorrow), so you can bet I’ll be out sacrificing a couple of goats this week!
Actually, this is the year I celebrate my inner Beltaine, marking the birth of the self that has lain dormant all these long cold years. I feel it there, pulsing under the surface, warm and lively and perfect, awaiting just the right moment in an early golden dawn to burst forth with soft forest greenness.
Join me? Go back in time a day, light a bonfire under your heart’s desires, and come share with me this radiant spring.
I’ll be waiting for you.
