OK... Everyone celebrates Beltane in different ways. Beltane, for the mystically deficient, is the Pagan Spring Equinox season for rebirth. It celebrates life, in the same fashion Samhain (or Halloween) celebrates death. It is one of the two holidays where the fabric between the worlds of the living and the dead are at their thinnest. It's celebrated mostly on May 1rst, with celebrations and bonfires and fruit offerings and the like.
But that's not what D'Sarians do with it. At that time it is also a time of harnessable energies.
I have always been one who believes in the interdimensional duality of things. That there are different alternate realities with mostly the same players, all living different lives.
Now imagine with me (before you call me mad), another plane of existence... Wherein exists another Darkstar, on another earth, doing different things. Now imagine MANY infinite possibilities. Several Darkstars never became Darkstar. One stayed locked in a life of retail management. Another was an investment banker, another a lawyer, another a death row sociopath murderer, another is an overweight retail manager, another a comic book artist, another a doctor, another a garbage man, another is homeless, living on the streets of Manhattan, another is a professional impersonator, another is a porn-star making fetish movies, another is a movie star, another is a TV producer, another is the PERFECT Darkstar who achieved his status in the music industry at a much younger age, another is a DJ and so on and so on.
Now imagine most, but not all, of these infinite copies of Darkstar, sharing a psyche...a consciousness. Be it sub conscious or no, they share in a collective of infinite threads of universal reality.
Every Beltane, the threads of inter dimensional reality of all their timelines, crosses. It's at that point where they can all collectively become one and either loss or gain some of their psyche when the threads separate.
Sounds far fetched? I asked you to imagine with me. Whether you chose to believe is up to you. I don't really care. Call me an ass or a madman, but your belief is not my concern. I'm here to share thoughts.
So...now some may ask, "if there's a PERFECT Darkstar somewhere, why would he bother sharing in the collective?" A) He doesn't have a choice. None of them do. It's sub conscious. B) He's TOO perfect, and the forces that be don't want true perfection, the same way they don't want the homeless failure. They seek BALANCE. There IS an order to the universe you know. I take with me, the unified echoes of the voices of other realms. I will BE that balance.
I have clarity now. It is so much clearer. That night of Beltane, I did no rituals, save for sit outside with a cat, alone in the brisk billowing night air and breathe in the ethereal ectoplasmic sauce that wafted through the air on the most tangible of intangible nights. I know now that this year WILL be the year that all things come to pass. I know now that I will succeed in my ultimate mission as long as I take my steps one at a time.
Summarily, after I came back in the house, having my epiphany, I pulled out my pithy new keyboard, installed it's extended RAM, grabbed some headphones and dove into the true life of a musician hell bent on iconoclasm.
So that's that. That was my Beltane. I hope yours was good too.
