The first of May marks the halfway point between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. It's the last of the four seasons in the “light” half of the year, when days grow longer rather than shorter.
For millenia, this season between Spring and Summer was celebrated by my ancestors as the season of Beltane. Beltane is a Gaelic word that translates, “bright fire,” which refers to the time of light and growth during summer thanks to the power of the Sun.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the season of Beltane takes place when warmth, light, and life are proliferating in Nature. Everything and everyone in Nature has become self-sustaining, resilient, and abundant by this time of year. Everything and everyone in Nature is recirculating and regenerating so that outputs become inputs and then cycle from prosumption to consumption again — Nature is a well oiled machine this time of year!
So, traditionally, Beltane has invited humans to follow suit with the rest of Nature. In the same way plants and animals are reaching their peak maturity, so are our souls invited to operate from a full maturity that comes from experience and wisdom. Just like everything else in Nature, we too can operate at peak abundance as the reward of having surrendered to the cycle of death and new life that comes every year.
The archetypes of the divine feminine and divine masculine associated with this season of Beltane are: the Wise Woman and the Sage. These are the parts of us who are confident in their mastery of the tools they’ve mastered in life. They possess a combination of both skill and experience. They know the tools intellectually, but they also know how to apply the tools in any given situation in life. They are our inner guides in doing “the work.”
This season is about accessing your inner master and elder and sharing your mastery in the world without shrinking back. The outputs you contribute this season will become compost this autumn, so YOU get to decide what stuff you want your life to be made of now. Is the relationship you're in a perennial or an annual? How about your current career — is it a perennial or an annual? The only real way to find out is to step into full gear, full maturity, full mastery this season…and then see what hangs on for the ride!
In the Beltane course in Soul Revolution, you're invited to do the inner work in a group container rather than trying to do it alone.
In this course, starting May 8, I'll engage your mind by teaching you about the inner Wise Woman and inner Sage archetypes within you. I'll open your heart by guiding you in a meditation that allows you to channel a message from your own inner Wise Woman and Sage. And I'll invite your body to embody your inner Wise Woman or Sage by setting intentions for the season. These intentions will become your initiation — your challenge — for integrating this divine aspect of your soul into your life more fully.
You won't do this alone. You'll be able to share in a group with fellow travelers who are on the same journey. The course also includes weekly live calls and a one on one integration session with me.
If you're looking for a way to connect to your own soul, to connect to your own understanding of divinity, to meditate in a way that actually produces a direct experience of spirit, to sync to the rhythm of Nature, to harmonize the masculine and feminine energies within you, and to develop a trust in your own intuition, then you belong in this course!
