Gather virtually with like-hearted souls to celebrate the ancient Celtic festival of Beltane, or May Day, celebrating the creativity and fertility of the Earth in bloom. Beltane has been reimagined for modern times by practitioners of Druidry, Wicca and other neo-Pagan traditions. By engaging in ceremonies throughout the year, you reconnect with the Earth’s rhythms and cycles and remember the ancestral wisdom you carry in your DNA.
During the Beltane ceremony, you will by guided in a journey with the shamanic drum, receive a group animal spirit oracle card reading, and participate in a ritual of gratitude for blessings with colorful ribbons in a nod to the traditional Maypole dance. Through the virtual platform you will be able to see the ceremonial altar, as if you were in circle around it.
Plan to be present for about an hour. This ceremony will not be recorded, so please mark your calendar.
If possible, please have some brightly colored ribbons or fabric scraps cut to about ten inches long, a pen or marker that will write on the ribbon, and, if possible, a small tree branch. If you do not have these, please know that I will have them on the ceremonial altar for the benefit of everyone participating. If you do not have a branch, you can tie your ribbons outside after the ceremony.
