As the Wheel turns toward summer, we gather around the fire to explore the ancient festival of Beltane—a celebration of fertility, fire, and the fragile magic of human connection.In this episode, we dive deep into the heart of Victor Turner’s theory of communitas, a spontaneous, sacred bond that arises when structure falls away. We unravel the rituals of Beltane—bonfires, maypoles, handfastings, and sacred unions—and discover how they create a liminal space where roles dissolve and community is reborn.Why do these rites still call to us today? What can a centuries-old sabbat teach us about healing isolation and finding each other again in a fragmented world?Step into the flames.What you find may just change you.Works Cited: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uaUSqgMQ25TEU6UZAP57PgLmGjyZ45TV1_O8C1m5ElI/edit?usp=sharing
