Stay for a Spell

Splish splash I’m taking a bath 🐥💦

The Fire. 
a tarot spread for beltane.

1. The Shadow.

An ever present darkness looms over your shoulder. What is hiding within your shadow? What challenge do you need to face?

2. The Fire.

The Beltane fire glows brightly. What does it want you to see? What is the source of your strength?

3. The Path.

The FIRE FESTIVAL! BELETANE is a Celtic celebration that is often referred to as Mayday. It’s celebrated with bonfires and maypoles traditionally but it’s all about celebrating the longest day and shortest night of the year! At this time the universe is bursting with fertility, sexuality, and passion.

I know witches don’t do well in quarantine, and as for myself in New England the spring rain and weather has made it so going outside isn’t too much of a thing. So here’s a list of some things I’m gonna do to celebrate with my guides and highest self ✨:

Light some candles around your house, colorful ones! (Practice fire safety plz)

Diffuse floral essential oils!

Cleanse your hearth and set boundaries.

Bake some bread or some moon cookies!

Honor the Fae, leave things like honey, cookies, sweets, or coins outside as an offering for the garden Fae to protect your yard. Likewise, leave the same inside for indoor Fae like Brownies! (Make sure no pets can access offerings)

Admire or paint/draw the flowers and trees you seeing sprouting around you.

Watch the sunset at the end of April 30th!

Decorate your alter, tools, and plants with colorful ribbons, and set intentions for them!

Have a bath ritual with dried flower petals, floral oils, sea salt, candles and rose quartz, amber, bloodstone, citrine, carnelian, malachite, moonstone, or ruby.

Make/fill a bird or squirrel feeder!

Cast fertility, marriage, lust, protection, and love spells! 💕

Spells for igniting passion are good for this time as well.

Honor gods such as Pan, the Green Man, Bes and Eros.

Honor goddesses such as Artimus, Flora, Freya, and Hera.

Scatter seeds for plants or just for the birds!

Nows the time to bust out those genital candles!

Fake flowers and garland always is okay to celebrate with as well to those with allergies ✨

Since Beltane is about celebrating the arrival of summer, it’s a perfect day to plan how you want your summer to be like and maintain the day at a high vibe to manifest for summer. BUT, we’re in quarantine so we need a Beltane routine accustomed to the current lifestyle so I decided, i’m gonna adopt Rapunzel’s routine for a day. So my to-do list for tomorrow is:

Oranize and clean up my room (wipe and vacuum, ew but do it for RAPUNZEL)

Reorganize the bookcase

Paint (i recommend doing an artwork of your zodiac sign symbol :;) )

Bake a fruit cake (oor banan bread)

Read a book

Dance

Make a candle

Stretch

Workout

Write

Play the guitar

Try doing makeup

Cook

Make a jewelry

Make a milkshake

For the manifesting

Make a wishbox 

Meditate
