This Poem for Beltaine invites us to open ourselves to infinite love, a love that is present
without conditions and embraces every being living on this planet and beyond.
Open the window wide, listen to the beautiful nature, and read the living story of our world.
„The month of spring recalls the deepest force,
a never-ending love, a sacred course.
With a kiss upon our lives, the souls are bound,
through all emotions, true love is found.
Slowly Walpurgis Night1 draws near its end,
morning dawn spreads warmth the earth will send.
Sun rays gently warm our skin’s embrace,
playing with rainbow light in tender trace.
Anna-Hatta Chakra2 shines its green,
vibrant as a forest lush and keen.
Herbs bestow their strength and insight clear,
Lungwort3, coltsfoot4 and nettle5 - teas to cheer.“

Notes
1 Walpurgis Night - Walpurgis Night is an ancient Central European festival celebrating love, relationships, and procreation. It is observed on the night of April 30th into May 1st. The festival is associated with the custom of lighting bonfires and is sometimes referred to as the “burning of witches“.
2 Anna-Hatta Chakra - The Anna Hatta Chakra is the fourth of the seven main chakras recognized in Tantric Hinduism, Buddhism, Yoga, and many modern spiritual practices focused on energy work. Chakras are energy centers that together form channels for the flow of energy. The fourth chakra, Anna-Hatta, is located at the heart level. It is typically depicted as green and is associated with our capacity for love.
3 Lungwort - Lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis) is an herb particularly known for supporting lung function, though it also possesses other medicinal properties.
4 Coltsfoot - Coltsfoot (Tussilago) has anti-inflammatory properties and helps with diseases of the upper respiratory tract, gums, and oral cavity. It also reduces rheumatic pain and relieves skin problems.
5 Nettle - Nettle (Urtica) is an herb primarily used to cleanse the kidneys, though it also has other medicinal properties.
To set a warmer mood, I am also adding a video of the Beltane bonfire.
Just as people once followed the turning seasons to learn the stories of time, you can now immerse yourself in this poem. May this poem spark enthusiasm and inspire a deeper connection with the magical cycles of nature.
