BeltaneCelebrating Beltane is making somewhat of a comeback; see attached image and links below for various events around the country. If you are not familiar with Beltane – then read on…

Year of the rabbit – Chinese new year

2011 is the year of the rabbit, which occupies the 4th position in the Chinese zodiac. These are the rabbit years to date: 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011. Those born in rabbit years are most compatible with those born in pig, dog or sheep years and are likely to be incompatible with those born in the year of the rooster or rat.

Rabbits have long been beloved creatures within Chinese culture. People born under the year of the Rabbit tend to be fortunately blessed, strong willed, hate disagreements, careful, unobtrusive, systematic and confident. The Rabbit is one of the most fortunate of all the Chinese star signs.

The Unicorn

The Unicorn is the universal symbol for mystics of enlightenment and spiritual transformation. Whilst its depiction often differs the mythology of it being a magnificent and elusive creature does not.

The oldest form of the Unicorn is probably the Chinese Ki-Lin in about 3000BC. Chinese symbolism describes it as one of the four spiritually endowed or auspicious creatures of the Ssu Ling; it is the essence of all five elements whilst embodying both the male /female yin and yang.

In the west the Unicorn is strongly associated with the moon; it is nearly always coloured white or silver. The mythical creature represents purity, gentleness and strength of mind – the horn a symbol of enduring individuality and power.

The Unicorn is also closely associated with royalty and is prominent in heraldry, often opposite a lion representing both lunar and solar energies.
