May Day or Beltane marks the halfway point between spring equinox and summer solstice, representing a time when ancient European ancestors celebrated the beginning of summer and honored the world's sudden burst of life and fertility.

• Traditional Beltane celebrations included lighting community bonfires, dancing around the Maypole, gathering flowers, and protecting thresholds

• The Wheel of the Year serves as a map not just for changing seasons, but also for recognizing inner transformations and personal cycles

• Connecting with ancestral traditions creates a powerful sense of lineage and belonging across generations 

• Three journal prompts focus on nurturing intentions, recognizing passionate purpose, and examining community connections

• The Beltane tarot spread explores your inner creative spark, what fuels your flame, and how this seasonal energy is transforming you

• Working with intuition rather than overthinking helps us align with Beltane's fiery, transformative energy

• Honoring nature's rhythms is a radical act in today's disconnected world and provides grounding for spiritual practice
