The Druid Grove of Bega observed Beltane at their new home high up in the hills of North Cornwall. A new outdoor hearth was inaugurated, as they lit the Beltane fire amid mature Ash, Beech, Alder, Oak and Sycamore.
Tredethy Beltane Fire
Life in its abundance manifests all around now; blackbirds are nesting nearby, hedgehogs and toads feast nocturnally on mollusc's and newts have colonised our sacred woodland pond. Nature surges, energy quickens, life pulses. The sun has set through the Sycamore thicket, and a half moon rides the starry sky!
Tredethy Beltane FireEarlier in the day the ancient yearly fertility ritual was performed at Padstow, and the streets of the Cornish port thronged with colour, music and ceremony. Now at dusk, it is a quiet time for reflection. A timeless sense of the Eternal Spirit of Nature; communion can be achieved at this special time betwixt day and night - at this crepuscular hour the song of summer reverberates through all things. All is one - the heartbeat of the universe hums on the still night air.
