The simple celebration of the Maypole dance is one that I have done many times. My tradition takes a 25 ft. piece of colourful ribbon and we write what we desire to plant/bring/create/fertilize into our lives to come to fruition. I also write what I am willing to let go of to give space for new seeds to be planted within me. We tack it to the pole and weave between each other singing sacred chants to the Earth and to Spirit of Spring unfolding. This year I will not be doing the literal Maypole dance, and I will be writing what I desire to seed in my inner garden. How I might fertilize these seeds of kindness, compassion, goodness, and well-being.
How about you? What do you wish to plant and seed in your life at this time? What do you want to come to fruition?
BELTANE HAIKU
Chant the seeding wish
Rainbow ribbons weave the pole
Spring green opens wide
Thin between the worlds
Dance sacred earth and heaven
Cast the blessing song
Weave the wish to truth
Let go of lost beginnings
Feel the dew refresh
Renew in Springs call
In meadow green dance the dance
Let love find you now
I’m a day or two behind in my reading. Thanks for the beautiful lilacs, beannie baby! And the lovely Beltane greeting.
