It is a time when we cast off seriousness, abandon our pretensions of intellect and forethought, and revel for awhile in trickery and silliness. Carnival celebrations, held with great gusto in many countries before the beginning of Lent, reflect a similar hedonistic release. This is not a static balance of equilibrium, rather it is a transition point, passed by rapidly in the midst of a headlong plummet into summer. It is an auspicious but somewhat erratic time for magickal work, as impulses can easily get swept up in the motion of the time and blossom into unanticipated forms. It's a good time to give away some of your personal intensity, and let the intensity of the season carry you along instead.
Visitors are welcome.
