This piece isn't fiction, though it speaks in the voice of story. It's a remembrance - for a people, a language, and a landscape that survived centuries of conquest and silence. My bloodline traces through those hills and borders, through families who lost their homes, their words, and their songs - yet somehow kept the flame alive. Celtic culture has too often been turned into costume, myth into merchandise. This writing is my way of giving it back its heartbeat. Every name, every god, every season we once marked with fire still belongs to us. May this be read not as bitterness, but as love - fierce, remembering love. For those who were silenced, and for those still learning to speak again. We are not relics. We are flame. And the flame still speaks our names.

It is May, there are things that are regaining and restoring the positive growth of nature and the poetic description of Beltane in a spiritual way.

Olivia is a vampire on a mission. She's determined to launch a preemptive strike on the mysterious person hiding behind a game avatar. Story #5 in the Ghostnet series. Follows Puzzle in Pink. Ghostnet is a series of contemporary urban fantasies where witches, vampires, and werewolves coexist peacefully with humans by hiding in plain sight. Creatures used to rely on lore passed down through families, but a few flagrant cases revealed how vulnerable their community is to exposure. To connect with each other, they rely on Ghostnet, a dark network set up by creatures at MIT in the 1970s. The stories are set in the fictitious town of Drexford near Boston, Massachusetts. More background information is on the Ghostnet page of the blog I co-write with Penna Nomen. The link is in my profile.

The Romans equated Apollo, God of healing, light, science, the arts, and freedom, with the Gaulish/Celtic Belenos, a God of healing, light snd solar power, with whom the festival of Beltane and the Beltane fires are associated. Beltane is celebrated on the first of May. The birthday of Apollo also happens to fall during the month of May.

AU: What If Arsinoe and Katharine were both Poisoner Queens and Mirabella was the only one of the triplets to be different? What if Arsinoe and Katherine were both raised by the Arrons in Ingrid Down? She is kind of Queen that knows the crown isn't on her head but in her soul. Heavy is the crown and yet she wears it as if it were a feather. There is strength in her heart, determination in her eyes and the will to survive resides within her soul. A warrior, a champion, a fighter, a Queen. When Queen Camille gave birth, she announced that she had two Poisoner Queens, Arsinoe and Katharine, and an Elemental, Mirabella. The Queens were raised in the Black Cottage by Willa for their first six years before they were sent to Ingrid Down and Rolanth, respectively. Now, Ascension Year will soon begin and it's anyone's guess who will win the crown.

In an age before history, when gods still walked the earth and the land remembered their names... The ancient world fractures under climate collapse, war, and the fall of kingdoms. The People of Danu-called the Danann-are driven into exile. Once masters of knowledge, craft, and the skies, their civilization is hunted, feared, and nearly extinguished. Their homeland, a chain of islands in the great ocean near the inland sea, is struck by a comet sent by their Goddess, Danu, and swallowed beneath the waves. The survivors escape in airships, seeking refuge on the northern island called Éire. There, the White Horse Oracle foretells their arrival: they come in peace, yet conflict is probable. Indeed, war does break out, and from its ashes the Danann rise to power across the land. The White Horse Oracle is a sweeping mythological fantasy of exile, invasion, and memory-where legends are not born of heroism, but of survival.

Hi!! This is just to have a sense of community in Celtic Paganism and Pagan holidays, it's pretty much a layout of my Grimoire <3 it's the first one I've done so I don't know if it's any good

Beltane Sun Light of the Sun warms the earth Quickening the pulse of the land. The sleeping giant rises, To answer the call of the king. And i saw the May with its myriad lights & plants. I saw leaves as they are wont to sprout I saw branches equally laden with flowers. I saw the attributes of a most generous king. And i saw the Lady smile, as she passed by she said; "Mine are the riches of the land of Albion." Her bounty, Her kindliness, Her cloth, And mine their victals. So let us toast the land beneath this Beltane Sun.
