Beltane Rituals

Opening Ritual: Awakening
Leave the mundane world behind. Become aware of place and self. Come fully into yourself and feel the energy of the awakening world, of Spring. Open to the potential gifts of sex. Become aware of your own limits in that regard: the boundaries you choose as well as the walls which imprison you.

Ritual: Arousal
Are you receptive to sex's gifts of comfort, pleasure and love? How can you become more receptive? Feel out your own limits, in search of the walls that block complete satisfaction. Seek the support of a deity or elemental spirit to assist you in this work. Raise your energy level and explore your senses using your imagination. Feel your blood flow as you open to the excitement of the event. Finally, join in the frolicsome fun of a traditional Maypole dance.

Main Ritual: Climax
Are you prepared for a culmination of energetic arousal to the point of release? Break down the barriers that bind you. Visualize that wall, and join in as we breathe—rhythmically, energetically, orgasmically—to tear it down! Face flushed and heart pounding, spin in a dance of celebration.

Closing Ritual: Afterglow
Painted in the honey-sweet warmth of satisfaction, gather with others to bask in contentment. Revel in the bliss you have found. Rest now, a bit, in preparation for next time—and for your return to the mundane world. Be comforted: you will carry what you have learned and continue the work of opening.
