The Spiral Dance with Hawthorne

Celebration of Beltane


Listen Later

This week, we celebrate Beltane! Beltane is happening on Thursday, the first of May! It's a festival of Fertility and Love as we welcome the flowering of Nature's Return. In our mythology Beltane represents the Mating of the Goddess and the God. It's The Original White Wedding! 

So, we'll talk in more detail about the meaning and significance of May Day from our earliest history. Plus we'll talk about the mythologies and customs that are traditionally associated with Beltane. And, while we're at it; just what the heck does "Beltane" mean?  I've got the answers right here!

And I'm reviving a old traidtion, as I present to you a reading Marion Zimmer Bradley's famous book, "The Mists of Avalon".

Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
