Blessed Beltane

 Hello, my beloved little corner of the interwebz! Beltane is coming, with a full moon in Scorpio, and the air is absolutely electric with so many possibilities. Confronting shadow, releasing old burdens, embracing your potential. 


This coven thing hasn't been working out the way I'd thought it would. I fully expected a lot of surface level interest, but what I didn't expect was not one, not one, single person has actually made the effort to meet. 

But I'm not mad about it.  How could I be? This isn't a popularity contest. It's not a simple social gathering. It's about celebration, love and joy, embracing the world and the life around us, and whoever is meant to be part of that will find me. Or I'll find them. 

In other news, it finally rained today, after weeks of drought. It's still a drought, but I'm glad we got something. 

Oh, and I burned myself. Splashed boiling water on my chest. My necklace got in the way, so I have a partial outline of it in the burn. Looks kinda wicked, but I do not recommend it.

Seriously though, do yourself a favor and keep some burn cream handy. I've kept it slathered on my wound after running it under cool (not cold!) water for like 15 minutes, and the angry bubble that tried to form disappeared overnight. It still hurt, but it's not nearly as bad as it could have been.

Let's see, what else is there? I have one current grump, other than the burn, but I hope to be rid of it soon. Nothing worth mentioning, except to say  YOU'LL GET OVER IT! 

lolz.

Anywhom, Beltane, Beltane. This is probably the 2nd most important holi-day to pagans who follow the Wheel of the Year, with the first being Samhain. 

Beltane marks the midway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice, the start of the summer and every green and beautiful thing that grows with the sun. If you do nothing else to celebrate, take a moment to step outside, feel the warmth and light on your skin. Breathe in the air and just appreciate it. See the leaves, the grass, the bugs, the birds, and feel their joy in simply being alive. Not big fancy ritual necessary....though one day I'd like that to happen, too. 

Blessed Be, friend.
