Beltane Fire
Beltane is the great fire festival, the explosion of the year into full bloom. These thirteen blessing cards carry that bright fire in words... blessings to speak over yourself and others, to bless a threshold or a gathering, or to carry as a charm of the season's vital force.
It is on its way to you.

where it sits on the Wheel
Beltane lives in peak light
On the Wheel, Beltane opens peak light... the arc that carries you from the fire festival to the longest day at Midsummer.
If peak light is the season you resist, you are what I call a Moonflower. These are the pages that make you flinch, so go gently and go anyway.
