Beltane 2009

In the Dianic tradition, Beltane is the celebration of first blood – The Menarche. For many of us this was not a time celebrated. We were simply told why it happens and how to handle this “inconvenience” or “curse” as some may have called it. But as we realized our blood is the giver of life for without it life can not be created. It is not a time to be embarrassed – it is a time to be celebrated!

When my daughter had her first blood we took the day off and spent it together. We talked and snuggled and it was a beautiful experience for both of us. I hope that when my granddaughters have their first blood that they too can experience it in a positive manner.

Blessings of the Season,
