It's the season of Beltane!

 

Its the season that we step from the dark half of the year into the light half of the year and as the the sun rises on 1st May, fun, colourful energy greets us. 

Beltane is one of the 4 fire festivals, the Earth is warming up, the light is back and the energy is warmth and fertility. It is the season that the May Queen and the Green Man meet, divine masculine and divine feminine, and their union brings the land to life. 

 

Ways to celebrate

• Bonfires and candles, set intentions and focus on what you want to grow. 

• Plant seeds or bulbs in the garden

• Barefoot walking is back... Go outside barefoot and feel the earth beneath your feet. 

• Have a cleansing bath with rose, jasmine and lavender

• Decorate your space with flowers.

• Go for a walk in nature and experience the spring air.

• Get creative by dancing, singing, journaling, crocheting, knitting, painting , writing a poem or story. 

• Make a Beltane simmer pot.

• Give offerings to the local wildlife; feeding the birds.

​

 Full Moons 

We have 2 full moons in May, the flower moon in Scorpio on 1st May and 31st May, a blue moon. Full moons signify completion and it is a good time to move on, let go and release. 

You can put water out under the full moon to charge and drink it or water your plants with it. 

We can charge our crystals

We can charge ourselves by going for a night time walk.

Write down the things you are wanting to let go of and burn them.

When you shower on a full moon, imagine the water cleansing you and letting go of what no longer serves you.

***Have a blessed Beltane ***
