How to prepare for Beltane
My fellow lazy witches living in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s time to get ready for Beltane (May 1st). Here is a list of cute lil’ things you can do from this week onwards - just so we hurry up all together now.
- Eat/use breakfast cereals: we’re still celebrating the roman Ceres! Healthy: oatmeal / Gourmet: chocolate muesli / Gluten-free: corn flakes.
- Get out in the sun, pick wild flowers, make your ritual bouquet or floral wrap ♥ ‘Cause Floralia falls in between April & May. Let’s grab poppies!
- Cook with FRESH herbs, avoid dried ground stuff. You can save herb leftovers or extra leaves & branches for Beltane burning rituals. This is a good time for cooking and baking at home. Stop wasting money now, better save up for the summer madness… ;)
- Plan pamper/cozy nights + sip a good wine for the occasion (Sangria, Pinot Noir, Rosé, Lambrusco or Riesling). Other options: lemonade, herbal tea, milk, pale ale, fruit beer. Also eat strawberries, they’re in season!
- Light up cute tealights everywhere: on Beltane we honor fire and fertility.
- Dress light, flowy and colorful. R.i.p. tight underwear. Wear a brand new piece of jewelry, smile more often, wear a fruity or floral fragrance.
- Clean your house, your room, your altar/corner. Declutter. Room spray season is officially open, so spritz the hell out of dem bottles. Add charged crystals to your sacred space or on your desk. Prefer warm colors/pastels.
- Write down a motivational phrase, make sure you’re very satisfied with how it looks on paper (yes, aesthetics do count here). Choose words that lift you up and boost your self-esteem. Read the phrase every morning, take a deep breath and smile. Even if it’s raining hell outside. :)
Hope this was inspiring for some! ✿ ♥☆ ✿ xox
