As the wheel of the year turns once again, we welcomed the ancient festival of Beltaine here at Inch Hideaway, marking the sacred halfway point between spring and summer. This potent cross-quarter day signals the return of warmth, abundance, and creative fire — and this past weekend, we gathered to honor it in true tradition.
In the golden light of evening, we finally lit the Beltaine fire, a symbol of purification, transformation, and the life-giving force that stirs the earth back to fullness. For centuries, this festival has been a time when the veil between worlds grows thin — a mystical moment when nature and spirit meet in celebration.
Beltaine is a season of passion, fertility, and joy, when blossoms burst open, ideas bloom, and energy flows freely through the land. Here at Inch Hideaway, we felt every spark of that magic glowing in the flames — a reminder of what it means to be truly alive, rooted in the rhythms of nature, and open to the wild beauty around and within us.
As we step into the brighter half of the year, we invite you to join us in welcoming this season of light, connection, and creativity. Whether you come to walk barefoot in the meadow, gather around the fire, or simply breathe deeply beneath the wide Irish sky, may you find your own moment of renewal.
Beltaine blessings to all — and here’s to a summer filled with warmth, abundance, and wonder.
