Beltane Fires Are Calling

Hi Friends,
There’s something in the air this time of year. . .
Not just pollen, although yes, the allergies are real (for sure!).

I’m talking about that feeling.

The one that makes you want to wear fewer layers, dance barefoot in your backyard, or sit under a star-lit sky making wishes like when you were a kid.

That’s Beltane energy.

Now before you picture flower crowns and maypoles and assume this isn’t for you… pause. Beltane isn’t about pretending we live in a cottagecore fantasy (sigh). It’s about remembering that you are the fantasy. The flame.
The one who says yes to life.

So What Is Beltane in This Modern Day and Age?

Traditionally, it’s the midway point between spring and summer—a cross-quarter festival on the Celtic Wheel of the Year that marks the return of heat, light, growth, and... desire. Yasss.
Beltane is about fertility, but not just in the baby-making sense (insert HUGE grin). Fertility of everything. Ideas. Love. Creativity. Soulful risk-taking. The fire you’ve been quietly tending all winter? This is when you let it leap.

In ancient times, people lit bonfires, leapt over them, celebrated their bodies, their unions, their intentions.
And sure, maybe most of us can’t dance around or jump over a full-on bonfire these days, but that doesn’t mean the invitation no longer stands. Wherever you are, you can take this time to celebrate life, love, creation, and sacred flame.

No backyard (like me, currently)? No problem. You don’t need acreage or antlers to make this sacred.
Try one (or a few) of these:

• Light a candle on your windowsill and whisper a wish into it
• Walk barefoot on the earth, or if that’s not an option, get your hands in some potting soil
• Eat something fresh, sweet, or dripping with honey
• Let music move through you (whatever makes you let loose)
• Bless your body
• Make love
• Light a candle and jump over the fire with your lover (Mr. Wallace and I use a tea light)

The key? Presence. Joy. Intention.

That’s the magick.

Here’s what I really want you take away from all of this:
So often, we wait for the right moment, the right moon, the right level of healing to celebrate ourselves.
Beltane is the reminder that the moment is now. That joy is sacred. That your desire to create, connect, or simply feel good is holy. It is the way of Goddess.

This season, let yourself ignite.
Be the spark.
Be the flame.
Be the one who says yes to the beauty of being alive.

Need a little ritual inspiration? Volume 3 of Luxunis Life has a full Beltane feature (including a super doable DIY) waiting for you.

Celebrate the fire within. Let it ignite and burn bright!

Wishing you a magickal, fiery Beltane-
Shakti
