Beltane and Surveys

Beltane will soon be upon us!

This is a festival for springtime, blossoming love and fertility. Beltane represents the Great Wedding of the God and Goddess, and is a popular time for handfastings and betrothals. It is also a time for couples to spend the night in the woods 😜 (A-Maying) and of course there would be Beltane many babies born the following winter!

Beltane is a great time to make a wish box, or a manifestation box. Write things about your wishes on a piece of paper, whilst concentrating on your intentions. Place the paper in the box. Over time, add other things to support your wishes in order to manifest your desires. Some witches like to put earth into their manifestation box and plant seeds, so that their wishes materialise with the growing plants.

Any of my witchy boxes could be turned into a wish box or manifestations box. This one will make an ideal tarot box after.

I have made a fresh blend of my own Beltane incense again this year and it is gorgeous! It has more patchouli leaves this time 😍 It is just £5 for a little recycled jam jar, and comes with two free charcoal disc burners. If you come down to any of the fayres to buy this, I will give you a pack of discs instead of just two.

Here are some things you can do!

Your altar  Put some greenery on your altar. Beltane is the only time of the year where it is not unlucky to bring Hawthorn in. Hawthorn is a very powerful magickal tree, and represented fertility and sexuality. Beltane is also for flowers so decorate your altar with blossom, local wild flowers, or perhaps make a daisy chain.

Enjoy the outdoors!  You can spend the night outdoors or course, or your can collect flowers on a walk, or get up early and enjoy a sunrise.

The Maypole Did you know that Mayday traditions of dancing round a maypole is a Beltane tradition? You can go back to your pagan roots by finding a Birch, Rowan, or Hawthorne tree and celebrate. If none of these are local to you, pick a tree that you connect with and sit with it. Talk or sing to it. You can dance around it and also tie ribbons on and make wishes.

Want to see me out and about?

W know that crystals are hard to choose, and having someone else choose them for you isn’t quite the same. In addition to doing face to face sales by appointment, I am doing several fayres this spring so that you can come down and peruse the crystals in person.  The dates are:

Saturday 23rd April 2022 – St. George’s Day Fayre, High Street, Crawley. 11am – 4pm

Thursday 5th May 2022 – Sunday 8th May 2022 – Vintage Fayre for 75th Anniversary of Crawley, Queensway and Queens Sq Crawley. 10am – 6pm.  I have made some special soap lines for this occasion!
