The Great Wheel of the Witch’s year has turned once more and we find ourselves held within the magick of creation itself. The Sabbatt of Beltane celebrates the sacred union of the God and Goddess and the potential for new life that is held in that act. The Goddess is the Maiden of Spring who is ready to take a lover. And, the God is the Youth, strong and potent in his fecundity. His gifts are those of the strengthening of the solar energies and, Hers are the response as lover and fertile womb for the quickening of new life.
Beltane is a joyous celebration of life, passion and the desire for the one to become two. It is a celebration of partnership and the sharing of the fires of new life that move throughout the realms of creation in all of its forms. We circle round the Maypole, the…
Since I have been home with the Shelter in Place directive, I have been re-reading some of my favorite books. Recently I pulled T. Thorn Coyle‘s book Kissing the Limitless, off the shelf and as always when I read her writings I begin to think more deeply about my own practice. More specifically, thinking of my response to the posed questions of:
“What has set me on this Path? Why am I choosing to do this work?”
Neither of these questions has easy answers and the very nature of their query is one that should change and evolve in accord with the practice we are called to at any given time. But, there is also a certain clarity of purpose that reveals itself through answering the call to service.
If I look beyond the superficial answer, there is no one thing that pulled me in this spiritual direction versus another. I have always been a seeker and have taken many diverse roads; all respectively at some point interweaving with one another and then moving away from their centers of commonality creating new paths to be explored.
The analogy of feeling a “coming home” having affirmed my steps along this path is both true and vague, for this is not a place I have ever left. From a greater perspective, I feel that the collective energies of humanity propel those who choose to listen to the wisdom of the quiet places of inner guidance and stir within a deep longing to contribute positively and effectively.
And, because of this longing, it is no longer a point of “why” I do this work. It is the natural outcome~ and is as organic as breathing. Once connected to this flow and breath of humanity and conscious thought and action, opportunities abound to integrate the practice you have established, the flowers or spiritual wisdom you have collected along the way and the ever-changing quality of service you may offer.
The more intention and focus that is spent in deepening your personal connection to your Divine Self and striving towards a place of balance and union between your human and Divine natures, the more clearly you can see along the Path.
So, in harmony with the energies of Beltane I am feeling the longing to consummate the union of these energies within myself. I am filled with yearning to quicken the twin flames of passion and quintessential LIFE and enliven the seeds of renewed dedication in walking my spiritual Path.
May your life be blessed by the Spirit and longing of youth. May it be vibrant with the Fires of Life. And, may you always be open to the expression of Love and ripe with potential for growth.
