Welcome Beautiful Beings of Light to another Mindfulness Monday. Your mindfulness practice from Monday to Monday.
This reading is going to have a slight twist to it as Mindfulness Monday falls on Bealtaine 2025.
Whispers of Beatlaine
There's definitely an urge, a push, and a whisper to have me explain a little bit about Bealtaine in the Irish tradition. The energies that swirl around it and who we are honoring and respecting at this time.
This is a story from my perspectives, teachings and understandings of the ancient practices that I follow from the Irish tradition.
Bealtaine is the fire festival, the fire festival of Ériu, of the Divine Feminine Goddess of Ireland. It is held every year on the Hill of Uisneach, where the Goddess of Ireland Ériu sleeps and slumbers under the ground.
This ancient site still holds a fire festival every year for Bealtaine with big celebrations and a giant festival of fire. It's an all-day event.
Whether you celebrate Bealtaine on the 1st of May (or May Day) due to the marking of a calendar that says that that's when it is. Or if you follow the ancient traditions of finding the true date based off of finding the midpoint between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice, then finding where that lands the new moon.
This calculation I do not do on my own but follow the beautiful Anthony Murphy as he is very in tune, connected, and knowledgeable of how to calculate when these dates would actually be, based off of that calculation and the stirring of the earth energies.
Know that celebrating on the first or on the true day is not necessarily wrong. As these festivals would have spread for weeks at a time, not just one single day.
With our busy calendars, as long as we're taking note and honoring this time period, then I say we're doing fine.
But know that this festival is in celebration of the Goddess Ériu and the fire that she brings.
That fire is lit at the top of the highest point on the top of the hill in Uisneach. The fires that surround the country would look to that hilltop to see when the fire was lit. Thus, they would begin their planting for summer [the next day].
I find this very important to share as we go into this next season because of the energy that is sparked in this time. This time of fire, of creation, of summer, which is the energy of doing and achieving.
Especially in these times, it is important for us to turn the page. To shake off the winter, to shake off the what-ifs and the should(s) and just focus on what we actually need to do.
We can use the Bealtaine fire as part of the burning away of those things that are no longer necessary: the tribulations, the traumas, the mindsets. All of those things that have been preventing us from stepping into or onto that path that will lead to achievement of our goals.
As a collective, achieving these goals is more important than ever. Finding this inner wisdom or inner mindset to know the truth of who you are. The truth of collective harmony, unity, and connection to the divine alliance of the elementals and each other.
I'm going to be doing this mindfulness reading in relationship to the energies, of Bealtaine. Whether you hold this for a week or until the Summer Solstice, this energy and this mindset it’s a potent time to take a leap forward on whatever path or whatever goals that you have in mind.

Please only take what resonates and leave the rest for whom they need it.
The Questions to Find your Truth
The very first card that we have arriving in this reading is Learn the Truth.
What is the truth?
What is your truth?
What is the divine truth?
And what is the [divine] alliance truth?
These are all very important questions to understand.
What is the truth behind the full story?
Are you only seeing a perspective that is being blocked from ego, from scarcity, from lust, from greed from any of the seven deadly sins? (I realize now that I'm listing)
What is the full truth of the story?
Is that truth in alignment to the work and to the goals of which you are trying to propel yourself forward?
Was it your story or was it one that was gifted to you (rather clumsily) from somebody else?
It is now time to sit in reflection of what your truth is.
What the truth of your desires are?
What are the things that are preventing you from stepping into it?
Leading with Truth
Which leads into the next card that is Leadership.
This Leadership card that's coming in, I want to take note that there is a tiger who is sitting not ready to pounce but sitting in a state of (I would almost say) deep-rooted contemplation.
They are at ease with who they are. They are at ease with what is happening around them. That, as a leader, is so important to have.
When we are distracted and deflected by different “trivial” things in our lives. Whether it be conditionings we were given or blames we throw at other people so that we don't have to look at ourselves. It makes it harder for us to lead ourselves correctly to where we need to be.
This Leadership card is really coming in as a reminder that as a leader, it's very important to seek and understand the truth [in order] to make decisions for yourself, for your community, and for the children or the future to come.
Making those choices from a state of ease and understanding rather than [just] knee-jerk reaction and protection.
Rooted In Mystery
Which leads into the next card the Healing Energy. This card is coming upside-down as an awareness.
This Healing Energy is asking you more to look at the deep roots.
The Tree of Life is on this card and it's going down into the ground not showing, ‘As above, so below’.
What I'm seeing is the deep network of patterning, that has created almost insecurity around where you're standing, and where you're rooted.
It's okay to be rooted in the deep, dark unknown as long as you know yourself.
There's a lot of healing energy that comes from sitting in the depths and the darkness of who you are.
Darkness is not always a bad thing. Sometimes it's just a mystery we have not solved. That's what I mean by rooting in the darkness. Rooting in the acceptance of the mystery that is you helps uncover the truth of who you are.
[Allowing you] To become the leader that you are looking for yourself, that your community, or that the children are looking for.
This healing energy is not coming in as a block, but a gentle reminder that it is okay to step into those patterning(s). To be okay with the mystery that's around you.
Happiness in Harmony
The last card that's coming in is the card of Happiness.
This card has, (I believe) a sunflower sitting in the middle of it with two suns on either side, each one a different color.
For me, is really indicating the balance between rooting yourself in the knowing of who you are and rooting yourself in the dark mysteries of the unknown parts of yourself that are waiting to be found.
The joy, the beauty, and the magic of who you are or who you're waiting to become!
Remember this is all about coming into the truth of who you are to understand what goals need to be achieved during this time. Allow yourself to let go of those things. To burn away those tethers that have been keeping you from stepping onto the path that you were meant to be.
The happiness card is really showing me the harmony and the balance between those dueling worlds. [Like a Ying-Yang]
You at the center will blossom from living not on this side or this that side of the pendulum swing but finding the middle.
Recap
To find where to root yourself in the middle. Follow in the example of the Bealtaine fire.
Light a fire within the soul of your being in the darkest parts to illuminate the truth of who you are. To burn away those things that are creating chaos and uncertainty within you.
Use this energy and this time period to heal, move forward and achieve those things that will bring happiness, unity, joy, and divine connection into your life. To achieve the goals that you need personally or that we need as a collective.

Until next time, may you find light, magic, joy and fire in every day.
Meditation/Journal Prompt
Sit with a flame (candle will do). Take three calming breaths. Allow your vision to sink into the flame. When all you see is the light of the flame ask, “Please illuminate a light truth I’ve hidden from myself.” Once you have your truth, ask the flame, “What tether/cord do I need to burn so this Light may raise to my surface?” Thank the flame for the wisdom it shared.
When you’re back in your body, write the tether/cord on paper and burn it in the flame. Write your Light truth down and place somewhere you’ll see daily.
I recommend writing it on the mirror so when you read it, you can look yourself in the eye and see yourself glow in the light of truth.
