At Beltane, we do not simply celebrate fertility—we encounter the raw force of life itself.
This ancient fire festival, traditionally marked by bonfires, ecstatic rites, and the symbolic union of land and lover, reveals a deeper truth: that creation emerges not from purity, but from tension—between opposites, between longing and restraint, between power and surrender.
In this lecture-ritual, mythologist Dr. Selena Madden explores Beltane through the lens of the erotic archetypes—the Lover, the Sovereign, the Wild One, and the Dark Feminine and Masculine as forces of initiation, not comfort.
Drawing from Celtic traditions, European folk practices, and depth psychology, we will move beyond the surface of “fertility” and into the liminal terrain of Eros—where desire destabilizes, awakens, and demands transformation.
