“Every thought, every spoken word, every action sets a process in motion. We control what we send out, but not the results or consequences that follow. Good intentions set forth with the goal to destroy a perceived wrong will cause destruction in their wake. Good intentions set forth in love will yield good results, eventually. Be conscious of method even when certain of good intentions. “Doe Zantamata
One of the animals associated with Beltane is the swan. The magical meaning of the swan is love, union, and partnership: swans mate for life. Just as the Goddess and God join in union on Beltane, swans reflect this eternal commitment in their own union. Swans also represent loyalty, fidelity, and faithfulness, reflecting the joining of Mother Earth and Father Sun when the sun is released from its bondage of winter and able to rule over summer and life once again. Swan symbolism includes grace, power, inner beauty, elegance, purity and balance.
“Your mind wants to be right, but your soul wants the truth. This is why you should never discuss conflicting ideas in anger or sadness. Anger and sadness are emotions of the mind. When faced with the truth that your soul recognizes, you will feel it in your heart, but with the anger or sadness, your mind will force you to keep arguing, find something else to be right about, or deny being wrong. This prevents the truth and peace from returning. ” Doe Zantamata
“Love heals” isn’t just a wishful thought. Love literally heals a broken heart, dashed hopes, and shattered faith. It gives rise to new dreams out of old ones that were not fulfilled. It sees the importance of the individual, of the moment, and also of the bigger picture at the very same time. It brings peace to tragedy and calm to chaos. It does not erase the hurt, but it always makes it better than it could ever possibly be without it. ” Doe Zantamata
“Nature does not hurry yet everything is accomplished.” —Lao Tzu
