Today is Beltane. I could go on about the symbolic and spiritual significance of the turn of the wheel of the year, when Spring turns into Summer and the land turns green as plants begin to grow and everything reveals its fecundity. I'm more interested in the fire aspect, frankly. What my body and spirit are calling to me to do is revel in the red hot passion of a day that tells us that not only is it okay but it is encouraged for us to go out and boink our brains out and celebrate the beauty of unashamed human sexuality and fertility. If ever there were going to be a time when making passionate love could transcend the merely carnal to become a sacred act, today is it.

Where my head - and seemingly every other part of me - is today is making me feel very Red, the Sera Beak sort of Red, celebrating "The Golden Age of divine booty calls." In addition to her delicious Red Book, Sera has lots to say about getting your spiritual groove on at her blog, Spiritual Cowgirl. If you need some inspiration to make your day Red, turn to her.

What potent blood hath modest May.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Indeed.

Wishing you many Beltane blessings!
