Here’s the reveal of my newest, freshly printed screen print: ‘The Flames of Beltane.’ 🔥 In the agricultural Celtic societies that shaped Beltane, one big tradition of the fire festival was to create two bonfires and walk livestock between them in an act of purifying, protecting, and blessing the animals with fertility in preparation for a bountiful growing season. In The Flames of Beltane, two bonfires burn below The May Queen and The Green Man, their smoke rising to give life to both figures. Betwixt the bonfires are some of the animals celebrated around this time for their fertility and life-giving symbolism— The bee, the bull, the hare, and the goat. All are blessed with purification, fertility, and protection by the glow of the fire flames. 🔥 This print will be available in limited quantities tomorrow, 4/21 @ 6pm ET!
