What is Beltane: Let the Fire In
Another Wiccan Holiday
Today is Beltane—the ancient Celtic festival that lands halfway between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice.
It’s a time when the earth is bursting with life. Blossoms are opening. Birds are singing. The sun lingers just a little longer in the sky.
Beltane is a celebration of fire, fertility, and new beginnings—a threshold moment when joy, growth, and possibility rise up both around us and within us.
Reflect for a moment:
🌱 What have I planted that’s now ready to bloom?
🔥 What fire in me is asking to be lit?
🌸 Where is joy trying to reach me, if only I let it?
A Season of Aliveness
For years I have marked seasonal shifts not just as dates on a calendar—but as invitations.
Moments to pause, check in, and notice what’s stirring beneath the surface.
This one feels like a nudge toward aliveness. A reminder that even in the midst of uncertainty or exhaustion, something inside us is still reaching toward the sun.
So today, I invite you to pause. Just for a moment.
🕯 Light a candle.
🌿 Step outside and feel the earth.
💬 Ask your inner system:
What part of me is ready for light? What wants to be seen or expressed?
A Gentle Yes
This doesn’t have to be big or dramatic.
Sometimes the most sacred act is a quiet, gentle yes to your own unfolding.
Whatever is blooming in you—may it be met with tenderness, curiosity, and warmth.
Wishing you a Beltane filled with sparks and sweetness.
Be well,
Jacqui
