SSP’s Bealtaine(Beltane) Cross-Quarter Celtic Holiday Ceremony
May 1 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm MDT
THE CELTIC FESTIVAL OF BEALTAINE (BELTANE)
Join SSP Board Member and shamanic practitioner Jaime Meyer for our next Cross-Quarter Celtic Holiday Ceremony, Bealtaine (Beltane). Thursday, May 1st at 6:00 PM Mountain Time.
Halfway between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice is the cross quarter time of Bealtaine (pronounced Bee-AWL-tan-eh or Beltane as Bell-TAYN), the opening of Summer. The word comes from the Irish Béal-tine meaning ‘Mouth of Fire’ which is a great description for the sun, and a powerful energy to work with ritually.
Bealtaine opens the direction south on the Celtic wheel of power- the powers of coming into fullness, the time of full illumination. These are the energies we will work with in this brief ceremony on our own behalf and for the world.
We will begin the ceremony with drumming and rattling so feel free to bring an instrument if you have it. (We won’t be able to hear each other on zoom, but we will still be playing together).
HOW TO PREPARE
Create sacred ceremonial space in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed by other people or loud noises. Make a small altar, light a candle and have your drum, and rattle available, as well as paper and pen. Darken your room if possible and allow yourself to be fully present.
CEREMONY RECORDINGS
A video playback recording will be available for those who were not able to join live or for those who would like to listen again.
