Introductions

Hi Celtic Year Artists & Writers,

Because it would be useful and interesting for us all to introduce ourselves to each other, and to everyone following the Celtic Yea Project, we have come up with the idea that we could make those introductions via the channels of the 4 principal festivals of the Celtic calendar.

To do this, look at what each main fire festival represents, and relate it to your own life and artistic work – see below.

{Note – the questions raised are just guidelines for you to consider as briefly or as fully as you wish to}

How do you relate to Samhain – how do you rest and refresh yourself, how has your life-path led you to this point, what are your spiritual and cultural roots, who or what do you listen or attend to for guidance, who are your mentors? Do the night-time and darkness figure in your life, inspire you; and if so, how?

How do you relate to Imbolc – what are you wishing to bring out in the new growth cycle ahead, what are your plans, hopes and aspirations. Do sacred waters, streams, wells and flowing waters figure in your life, inspire you; and if so, how?

How do you relate to Beltain – what have you recently put into place, what new projects have you activated, where are you putting your energies at the moment? Do stones, trees, plants and place figure in your life, inspire you; and if so, how?

How do you relate to Lammas – how do you celebrate your successes, what especial communities do you belong to, who do you share your ideas with and how? Do fairs and festivals figure in your life, inspire you; and if so, how?

All that was beautiful explained by Fi...thank you....now I better get on give it a go. Please feel free to send reponses to me to post on the blog.
