If, nine years ago, someone had told me that the Earth was sacred, I may have laughed and thought it a little eccentric of them to say the least!
Looking back, through my collection of diaries, from the time when I first began planting the land here at Bealtaine Cottage, I realise that immense changes have happened, not just here, on the land, but here, within me too.
There is no doubt in my mind that the Earth is sacred.
This fundamental belief was what was missing from my life.
It is what binds everything else together and allows me to make sense of life.
It is not a populist belief, but then this blog is not written from that precept of appealing to the popular or mainstream.
This blog is merely a way of focusing my thoughts for my diary entries.
It is a way of sharing evolving values and ideas.
It is a way of sharing what has empowered and enabled me.
Hope and happiness walk hand in hand.
I have found both at Bealtaine Cottage…the blessed Earth…Sacred Earth…She is rising.

Sharing this video made this morning here at Bealtaine…
All the photos are stunning as always but I wanted to comment on the stone with the ancient spiral. I have seen similar if not the same spirals etched into ancient volcanic rocks in central Arizona. I’m not sure anyone knows or could ever know what it symbolizes. But isn’t it interesting that it was used in such widely separated places? I’ve always thought of the eternal cycle of life. Spiraling out into the world and then returning again……. I’d be interested in how you interpret it.
That is exactly how I interpret the spiral! It is already part of our non-verbal understanding of the world we live in and everything beyond what we see.
I agree with you, the earth is sacred, and I suspect the majority of the planet also believe so. But the minority are the ones with the voice and the power, unfortunately, and they think the earth is merely a repository of resources they can draw upon as much as they please to make themselves wealthy.
And why giving Mother Earth a voice through websites, social media and how we live is so very important. 🙂

Reblogged this on Bealtaine Cottage and commented:
