I led this ritual for the holiday of Beltane this year, but its sentiments are appropriate throughout Beltane season (and really, all year long!). The full moon this weekend would be a wonderful time to perform this ritual. You will need three strands of ribbon, yarn, or thread - red, orange, and yellow. If you donโt have those specific colors, you can pick other colors that symbolize these themes for you, or even color the ends of some plain twine with a marker. This ritual was originally performed with a group, but here it has been modified for individual practice.

Joy as Resilience
We as human beings need joy. Joy and pleasure are as much your birthright as breathing air and drinking water. Joy is an inherent part of our being. And we need joy to function, especially in uncertain and challenging times.
Seven Years of Priestesshood: Reflections and Honoring Aphrodite
This January marked seven years since my initiation as a priestess of Aphrodite. It feels like itโs been so much longer than that. Maybe thatโs how it works with life callings. Every year when I reaffirm my vow as Her priestess, I feel this deep resonance inside me. It feels so much more than right.
Tree of Life Meditation for Grounding, Cleansing, and Energizing
This meditation is the product of years of energetic learning, exploration, and fine tuning. It draws from several different schools of energy work, including yoga and tantra, and has been adapted to most deeply resonate with how I personally experience energy. This experience is different for everyone, so I encourage you to tweak this meditation to best fit you. The goal of this meditation is to create a balance of grounding energy from the Earth, and energizing energy from the Cosmos/Divine within you.
A Simple New Year Spiritual Practice
