Beltaine is traditionally a time of fertility, but "fertility" can extend to much more than just the womb or the land. We all took several minutes to braid our intentions into ribbons whose colors corresponded to what we wished to "conceive," to be fertilized and begin to grow as the Wheel of the Year continues to turn.
In ritual, we honored the Norse god and goddess Thor and Sif, whose union in ancient times was thought to signify the perpetual fertility cycle of the earth. Merriment and whimsy found us as we participated in a ritual maypole dance, and we concluded the center of our ritual by raising energy to charge our ribbon braids.
Our traditional potluck supper followed, and we all had a great feast! As always, we are blessed by our sister conveners and thrilled that our coven continues to grow in light and love. Happy Beltaine to all! Blessed Be!
