Incense of the day: Mulberry The Pagan holiday of Beltane celebrates the vibrant attraction and union of the Goddess with the God. This meditation can be done quietly or can be part of a large exuberant ritual of dancing and song. Take a deep breath and close your eyes. Take three more deep, cleansing breaths. As you breathe deeply, find yourself outdoors in a beautiful, wild place. As you stand there, you feel the heartbeat of the Earth. It sounds like a drumbeat, and your blood throbs in harmony. Before you stands the May Maiden and the Young God. Each takes one of your hands and leads you in a dance. You dance in a circle and then inward in a spiral. Inward you dance, as the heartbeat drums a rhythm. As you move into the drumbeat and feel the joyous laughter of the Maiden and the God, you let go of all inhibitions that hold you back from understanding a full connection to the ecstatic, loving universe. Time stops as you dance and spiral inward into the eternal. Your heart and blood beat in unison with the dance as you move onward, inward, and fully into yourself and all-that-is. When it is time, come back fully to your time and place. Thank the Maiden and the Young God for the dance of heart and soul. |
