Beltane

Last month's Beltane Ritual with Sacred Earth Circle

High Priest and High Priestess, my Yo-Yo Kenny and my Ya-Ya Meave.

The bonfire

Jumping the Bel-Fire Lore

For an individual, the leap is purifying, dispelling negative energies and replacing them with positive ones

If a woman wants a child in the coming year, she could jump the fire for a blessing on her fertility.

Couples who leap together are considered betrothed by that act.

Others can jump for blessing on their most cherished wishes or plans for that year, making the wish as they jump.
