Siegfried Finds the Sleeping Brünnhilde (detail)

On May 1st, witches in the Northern hemisphere celebrate Beltane. Of all the festivals, Beltane is the most flagrantly joyful and sensuous as nature is bursting forth with beauty and excitement. On May Eve, the sexuality of life and the earth is at its peak. A good moment to bring ideas, hopes and dreams into action.

Rituals to celebrate:

🥳 With people, have a large picnic in a forest.

🍽️ In the kitchen, bake some fairy cakes.

🎨 Get crafty, by making mini Maypoles to decorate your garden, house, or altar.

💃 Dress up, and wear a flower crown or flowers in your hair.

📜 Write in your journal, a list of everything about yourself that gives you self-confidence.

Make your home smell like flowers! Using a fragrance diffuser, room spray, scented candles, or any other method on hand.

Open the windows and the curtains, let the sunlight and the outside air in. I find that on tough mental health days, when it's difficult to even leave the house, this is enough for me to feel refreshed and in tune with the season.

Wear colorful clothes and jewelry! Let yourself stop caring what people think, and show your joy outwardly.

Eat a simple, healthy and nourishing meal! I always go for something cold, like a salad or a bowl, because it reminds me of the summer season!

On a warmer day, grab a cold drink and sit outside, in the yard or on the balcony, and just bask in the sun for a while.

Play with fire! In the gaelic tradition, Bealtane was a fire festival, symbolizing the return of the sun. If a bonfire is out of the cards, then simply lighting a candle will do!

Treat yourself to a new houseplant, a bouquet of flowers to decorate the table, or even start planning for your garden.

Engage in spiritual work related to the sun!

Shuffle your Tarot deck slowly, manifesting clean and joyful energies as you reflect on the spring season.

Then, draw three cards.
