Beltane is a fire festival — the peak of spring, when the Earth is fully, unapologetically alive. A season of passion, desire, and everything surging forward at once. Traditionally, that energy is celebrated for its own sake. This year, we're giving it somewhere to go.
Many of us are carrying something right now — a truth that hasn't found its voice, a wrong that keeps going unanswered, a grief that sits right next to a refusal to give up. Beltane says it doesn't have to stay locked in your chest; Spring's energy is here to give it reprieve.
Together, in a cast circle, we'll name what we brought with us; raise energy through chant, rhythm, and movement; and release it with clear intent toward truth and balance. Then we'll ground together — reclaiming what we stand for, sharing food and drink, and stepping back into the world steadier than we arrived.
This ritual is led by Sarah and James in a traditional Wiccan framework. No experience needed and no right way to show up — only a willingness to bring what's with you. Witnessing is enough.
You don't have to be anything in particular to belong here.
