At Beltaine, the veil between the world is thin and the Green Man walks the land, leaving a trail of burgeoning life in His wake. The Green Man is the guardian of the wild world, and the master of the mysteries of life and creation. He is the lover-God whose touch is a quickening magic that spreads like wildfire, igniting the hungry impulses of life to create new life. All living things, including humanity, are beholden to the Green Man’s powers.
The sabbat invokes the Green Man’s magic, inviting you to surrender to your soul’s longings to grow and blossom in accordance with your unique beauty and essence. In the sunlit hours of Beltaine, you can use the pathwork meditation to commune with the Green Man and embrace the impulses of your living body and the living world for new growth and positive change.
“The month of May was come, when every lusty heart beginneth to blossom, and to bring forth fruit; for like as herbs and trees bring forth fruit and flourish in May, in likewise every lusty heart that is in any manner a lover, springeth and flourisheth in lusty deeds. For it giveth unto all lovers courage, that lusty month of May.” – Sir Thomas Malory, Le Morte d’Arthur
