The division of the Celtic Wheel of the year into eight seasons - the Solstices and Equinoxes, and the midpoints between them - makes so much sense to me. More so than just Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter - too long and varied - and more so than the months of the year - too short and fleeting. To me, these roughly six week increments strikes the ideal balance, like micro-seasons that capture the quiet-magic of the in-between as well as the pivotal start and end-points that punctuate the Celtic Calendar. In my newsletter, I thought I’d start sharing my own seasonal summary reviewing the segment of the year just gone: things I’ve been making, doing, baking, cooking and reading. So without further ado, before I start sharing my Midsummer content in the lead-up to Litha, here’s my seasonal summary for Beltane.
