Happy Spring Equitherm!
Celebrations
Life! We celebrate life today, especially life’s growth and evolutionary diversification (and which Brock just pointed out in the previous post). Just in time for Beltane, this research combined both the evolution and sexual habits of blue whales over the past several million years – it’s amazing what secrets DNA can hold!
Some of the ways many of us are celebrating were published a few weeks ago, and at least for my family, our CUUPS Beltane ritual is coming up this weekend. Beltane also reminds us of the symmetry of life and death, – as Glenys does here. And did you see the Edinburgh Beltane Fire Festival? Wow – 12,000 people celebrating Beltane! I’d love to make it to that some year. For some of us, the celebrations will be later this week – the actual midpoint between the Equinox and the Solstice is May 5th. However you are celebrating, may your be celebration be blessed.

The May Cross-Quarter (Vernal Equitherm or Beltane) is just two weeks away!
The Vernal Equitherm (Beltane) is coming! It is the midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice.

Those in the Southern Hemisphere experience the opposite, as autumn passes into winter. Read More
