The fire within...

Tonight is Walpurgis Night, and tomorrow is May Day, or Beltane. It's a peculiar energy today, or at least I feel so anyway. Knowing what the coming month or so holds makes it all the more meaningful for me. The end of coursework, beginning of vacation, and visitors from afar are all close on the horizon. It is a summer I have been waiting for. For years honestly.

It is nearing 7 and I already have a small fire in the cauldron, it will burn throughout the night. For now it is but a candle, but later I may get a bit more elaborate. I am very tired so we will see.

Not sure why but for six months or so I haven't done much for the traditional holy days. A prayer or an offering, a votive or two, maybe a bit of charming or divining. I have lost the desire somewhat for the more elaborate rituals I once held for myself. I'm more inclined to meditation that action.

It feels like a hibernation. Yet I wish to do something special tonight. I feel the energy of may day is like an awakening for me this year. I will be honoring myself and the spirit of fire within and without. I've come to realize in past months their is far too much water energy surrounding me. I need more fire and passionate energy to offset my emotions.

I will call on Freyja tonight to help me in this act. It is a night for witches. A night for awakening, burning, and rebirth. Much like the spirit of Gullveig. Burned thrice and reborn anew. Perhaps I shall incorporate this three fold fire into my practice tonight.

May you all be blessed with fire and passion.
