🔥At the Beltane Fire🔥
At the Beltane Fire she stands where wild things gather, where the ash and ember kiss—a woman forged in wildfire, in smoke-laced moonlit bliss.
Barefoot on the sacred earth, crowned in blossom, thorn, and flame. She is the vow the forest whispers, the storm no man can tame.
Wind braids through her raven hair, as sparks rise with her breath, a fierce and ancient echo of lust, of life, of death.
Her eyes hold constellations that the old gods still obey and every step she dances calls the dawn from night’s decay.
Around her, Beltane blazes—a ritual, raw and right. She is not made of mercy. She is made of night.
~ Skotia, Beltane 2025
The space between Beltane and Litha is rich with transformative energies. As the wheel of the year turns, this time—known as the “in-between” or “liminal” space—holds immense power for personal growth and self-liberation. During this sacred window, we can tap into the awakening forces of nature to release the Wild Woman within. The Wild Woman is not bound by convention or the expectations of society. She is free, fierce, and unapologetic. By aligning ourselves with the energies of the earth and the elements that thrive during this time, we can deepen our connection to our true selves.
Embracing the Wild Woman’s Energy
Beltane, the fire festival of fertility and passion, ignites the flames of creativity and desire. It calls us to step into our full potential, to claim the power that lies dormant within. As we move toward Litha, the summer solstice, the fire continues to burn brightly, fueling our inner transformations. This time is perfect for letting go of what no longer serves us—old patterns, limiting beliefs, and fears—and embracing the raw, untamed aspects of ourselves.
Rituals and Practices for Releasing the Wild Woman
- Fire Rituals: Fire is the element of transformation. Use a candle, bonfire, or fire pit to symbolically burn away what no longer serves you. Write down limiting beliefs or old patterns on paper and safely burn them as an offering to the fire.
- Wild Dance: Move your body in a way that feels wild and free. Dance barefoot on the earth, letting your hips sway and your arms move freely. Let go of self-judgment and allow your body to reconnect with the primal, feminine energy that resides within.
- Nature Connection: Spend time outdoors, whether it’s a forest, field, or garden. Walk barefoot on the earth, feeling her energy support and ground you. Embrace the wild beauty of nature to awaken your own inner Wild Woman.
- Wild Woman Journaling: Journal about your deepest desires, dreams, and fears. Write about the ways you’ve held yourself back and what it means to step fully into your wild, unapologetic power. Reflect on how your authentic self wants to emerge into the world.
Harnessing the Power of the Elemental Forces
The energies between Beltane and Litha are ruled by the elements of fire and earth—two powerful forces for awakening and release. Fire ignites transformation, while earth grounds and nurtures us as we grow. Work with both elements during this liminal time to fuel your journey toward self-liberation.
Final Thoughts
In the space between the fires of Beltane and Litha, the Wild Woman within you is ready to be freed. She is bold, unapologetic, and ready to claim her rightful place in the world. By connecting with the energies of this time and engaging in ritual, movement, and introspection, you can release old patterns and step into your true, untamed self.
