1st of May, Jack in the Green, 5:40am

Sabbat Salutations - Beltane Zoom Lecture with Edwin Courtenay Thursday the 29th April 2021 7pm - 8:30pm Beltane honours life, it represents the peak of Spring and the beginning of Summer - in the cunning Folk Calendar it is called the Union. Earth energies are at their strongest and most active and all of life is bursting with potent fertility, passion and sensual wonder! Traditionally Flora, the Goddess of Spring - the May Queen or May Bride lies with the Young Oak King who manifests as Jack-In-The-Green an aspect of the Green Man and the May Queen becomes pregnant. This is a time of Sacred Marriage - the Heiros Gamos - when inner unions also occur - the potential co-joining of the Animus and Anima - the inner divine masculine and feminine energies of the psyche - the union of our internal power of Earth and Sky. In this special lecture we will explore the power of this potent time and how we can work with it to envision and bring about our passion, to renew our vitality and celebrate and magnify our joy. We will take a journey into the other world and explore the power of our own reunification that we might witness the wonders and healing that it might bring. The lecture will include meditation, live trance channelling and guidance given to embrace the magic of this most powerful and special times.

Images from yesterday’s @isolationstationhastings live drawing stream in collaboration with @coastalcurrentsfestival I had a lot of fun and the session evolved quite naturally (I’m a crappy planner). The first image is painted in ink on a stencil block printed background. The second image of boy and dog is olive oil and pencil on paper - the third shot shows its ghostly transparency when held up to the light and the last image is ink and charcoal on paper (I finished this one once the live stream was over). I hope any of you who tuned in enjoyed the show and if you missed it you can watch again via @isolationstationhastings FB page. #livedraw #illustration #jackinthegreen https://www.instagram.com/p/B_uU6IthYBm/?igshid=1dqir61plref7
