Solar flares, Beltane fires, solar eclipse… so much activation magic, so much clearing, so much to digest! I sincerely hope that as these fires of sacred transformation from the inside out hold you today (and ongoingly) that you feel held, loved, appreciated… and above all, that you feel trust, even in those waves and moments when it feels like too much.
I feel dips and upturns of sacred union inside and out calling to us all today. I feel the awakenings and stirrings of the soul and heart both as they answer, react, and respond to this calling. My own sacred union wifh Gabriel has had its own challenges and deepening this whole month more or less, and it continues to open out into new territory today with passion and desire, and even fear coming up as we go.
Wherever you are with that process and with your own unfolding journey overall at this time, the Beltane fires welcome you into their embrace, whether you're walking through them, lingering near them, or celebrating being on the other side of them.
Here is the Beltane poem I re-share every year since I wrote it a few years ago. I hope it stirs and calls on your desires for your inner and outer mateship possibilities, but also into a deep and passionate love affair with the Divine and with all of life as well.

Beloved that you are,
When the smoke clears
on life's regulating ways
and gives way to the undulating meadows
of new love's first spring…
There I'll be
Standing in the light
of the sun shining above me,
firm in the ground I walk on
yet lightly walking toward your ready stance,
singing a song
we will both remember.
In Beltane's past, my love
we dined and danced
and brought together our intertwining
everythings
to mingle in the love light
of the divine masculine and feminine dawnings.
In Beltane's new arrivals, love,
we'll linger long
in embraces for only us to feel
in the eye of the mind's connection
until the refreshing breath
of a crisp and ripe chapter
brings us closer in all elements
of this life's wanderings.
In myself I stay here for you, love,
finding more treasure long buried
to show you in vulnerable ownership
echoing the also deep claim
you have inside of you
for you.
The winds of change
and graspings of renewing tides
grip at our thrown-about clothing
to move us closer to the edges
that keep US alive…
Together we will meet, my beloved,
and there we will find
what we have been searching for…
A counterpart.
Not to bind, but to bond.
Not to cling, but to sing.
Not stifle with duty
but to bring out with bounding life's alterations and celebrations
of each new movement
here…
Bring your mountains out to greet the new day, love,
and see the power of our sunshines mingling
on a new insatiable appetite
of a love reunited
in a way that was agreed to long ago
and yet NOW too.
Even NOW I make a vow to you,
to be all the more loyal to myself
and dedicate overflow to you,
to what we will create together
in our messy masses of alchemical baths
and swooning passes.
Love, when we do meet again
here…
I will dress the moon in your honor
and harness the sun's rays for your Kingdom to come
and our world that is being reborn.
On this Beltane celebration day,
as I ache for you,
I prepare that place in my heart
that is you-shaped
where you already live…
and that place in my body's life
where your essence will connect
so much
oh, so much…
With mine.
Love,
Kasha
