Beltane Fire Celebration

May 01, 2015 by Ember Grant
Color of the day:  Coral
Incense of the day:  Rose
 
Fires are a Beltane tradition so make some sparks tonight! Take advantage of a fire pit if you have one, or make a small fire in a cauldron or candle holder and burn some small twigs or bits of paper. Honor the element of fire and its power to transform and change. The nature of the fire element is purifying, cleansing, energetic, and forceful, but it can also be destructive, so we must always treat it with respect. This time of year, the focus is on the fertile earth and the awakening of the land. Chant over your flames and celebrate the season:

"Beltane fire, burning bright,
Bringing magic to the night.
Honored be the sacred flames,
Power still when ash remains."

Save some of the cooled ash from your fire and sprinkle it around the outside of your home for protection.
