Most of you know me as one of the Wedding Planners, @amagnificentobsession or AMag for short.
Sometimes even the best laid plans of Mice and Men, Angels and Demons (Midwife’s and Cobblers) go astray.
This quote is adapted from a line in “To A Mouse” by Robert Burns: “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men/Gang aft a-gley.”
But that doesn’t mean life, time or the world stops.
We have almost laid to sleep Winter and will soon be coming into Spring. Halfway between Spring and Summer falls Beltane, May 1st
Beltane is a fire festival. These bonfires purify as you burn away the remnants of winter. Any stuck energy converts into power and life.
It is an offering to the Gods for plentiful crops as well as hearty livestock. Earthly elements play a prime role in a Beltane celebration; fire, flowers, herbs, and the outdoors.
It is no coincidence that the Beltane resides at the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Beltane, in essence, glorifies the change of season and Mother Nature.
The human spirits of fertility, romance, sexuality, and sensuality come to play on May 1st. And lastly, the mystical fairies, spells, and goddesses are honored.
Beltane marks a point in the year for reflection for asking and answering questions.
Cast out the old, useless energy and welcome in the positive spirits to your soul.
Please join us for the fire festival, Beltane, on May 1st (wherever you are) for a celebration of Life, Love, and Rebirth. “Gie it laldy”
*I would still love the assistance of those who offered to help with food, flowers, decorations, anything and everything needed for a party. Including my Security Team.*
**I may be married to The Metatron, but I can assure you if anyone was to put a kink in our plans (no pun intended, well maybe a little bit) it would be him.**
***If you are under 55, have no fear. Over 55, and my husband hasn’t had you, watch out, he will. 😉***
Please invite your friends and family too. The more the merrier!
