Bealtaine Fires

Bealtaine is the time of year when nature suddenly seems to burst forth from the winter grip. Flowers, leaves and buds erupt and proclaim the vibrancy of life. The name itself refers to the ritual bright summer fires. At Bealtaine all fires were extinguished and a sacred fire was started on the Hill of Uisneach, which was then brought to Tara. All household fires were then kindled from this one flame.
The underlying energies sponsor expansion, growth, fun, play, joy, bounty, invigoration and cultivation.
The Patriarchal energy of Patrick and the Matriarchal energy of Brigid have combined to produce the blessed “leanbh na grian” who is full of life, brightness and promise. What are you pouring your energy into?

If you cannot attend light a candle and tune in at 8pm.
