Tonight (April 30th) is Beltane eve, drawing us through the night to the dawn of the season of Beltane, the season of the sun. For the next three moons the Celtic calendar was focused on the warmth and light of the sun, of the strength of light over darkness with the summer solstice in the middle. It was the season of celebrations and feasting, but also of war and reclaiming what may have been taken from you, and of battling the enemy.
For the Celtic Christians this celebration and season lost none of its potency. It was a celebration of the Sun of Righteousness (a prophetic term for the Messiah), who comes, according to the prophet Malachi, with healing. It is a celebration of the strength of the Light of the world over spiritual darkness, and of reclaiming through ‘the Sun of Righteousness’ all and any parts of your life which have been taken from you by spiritual darkness, or ‘the enemy’.
Happy Beltane!
May the Great Light overcome all your inner darkness,
May the warmth and healing of the Sun of Righteousness be with you and within you,
And may you know the overcoming of 'the enemy' and a reclaiming of any part of your life or inner self which has been lost.
May the warmth and healing of the Sun of Righteousness be with you and within you,
And may you know the overcoming of 'the enemy' and a reclaiming of any part of your life or inner self which has been lost.
