Sunday, May 2, 3-5pm, this event will be occurring via Zoom

Three Cranes Grove invites you to join us for a celebration of Beltane! We will be honoring Belenos, the “bright one” of Gaul, associated with the sun, the starry cloak of heaven, and this spring fire festival.

This rite will be held hybrid — Grove members will be present together in the ritual space, while guests will join us via Zoom. We’re using this as an initial step toward being able to offer in-person public rituals again, so lift up your prayers for us! In the meantime, we invite all guest participants to pray at their home shrines along with us if they have them, or in the shrine of their heart if they do not.

The Zoom meeting will open at 3pm; the pre-ritual briefing will begin at roughly 3:15pm; the ritual itself will begin at 3:30pm.

What you absolutely need:

• a computer, tablet, or phone with an Internet connection

• a beverage (of any sort): we’ll be blessing the Waters of Life with the blessings we receive, and each person’s beverage will receive those blessings.

Other things you may want (but that are not required):

• Representations of the ADF-style Hallows: the Fire, the Well, and the Tree, about which we create our Sacred Center. These can be physical objects, or even representations that allow you to focus upon the mythic Hallows.

• Offerings for the spirits. As is customary in Three Cranes rituals, there will be time for the folk to give offerings to the spirits that are dear to them, and also to Belenos himself.
