May Day Greetings at Beltane
Falling half-way through a “sevens week” on the EHc, today is the mid-point of the current season. Around the world, this day is coincident with the ancient festival of Beltane (commonly known as May Day).🧺 (5-1-24 Gc) 
Good morning!🌞
A symbolic fire (the element of the Season of Hearts) was one of the main rituals of the festival, helping to celebrate the return of life and fertility to the world. A traditional Maypole gathering was also part of the celebration.🔥
Rooted in ancient Celtic traditions, Beltane is one of eight festivals on the Wheel of the Year, which depicts time as continuous and cyclical — with an invitation to pause about every six-and-a-half weeks to mark the passage of time in relation to what is happening in the natural world.☸️
Each of these festivals are coincident with the Solstices, Equinoxes, and Cross-Quarter (or Mid-Season) days marked along the EHc Solar Year. Celebrating these seasonal shifts is non-dogmatic and something that anyone can do, no matter your religion or faith tradition.🥳
