Happy Beltane Witches 😍
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Beltane is a Gaelic festival traditionally celebrated on May 1st.
It marks the beginning of summer and is associated with fertility, fire, and new beginnings.
It's a time to celebrate growth, abundance, and the coming together of communities.
Rituals often include lighting bonfires, dancing around maypoles, and feasting.
It's also considered a time for rituals to encourage fertility in crops, livestock, and people.

Wickerman! One of my very favorite horror movies, especially for spring. The 1973 version, not the Nic Cage version.
But. Okay also that one but in a very different way.
Not all that horrific actually if you’re a witch & not a Christian virgin cop?🔥
Medieval pigeon (chicken thigh) pie with saffron infused pie crust 🥧🤎✨ recipe is in the pinned All-List!

Beltane, 31st April - 1st May, the birth of Summer.
"Spring is strong and virtuous,
Broad-sowing, cheerful, plenteous,
Quickening underneath the mould
Grains beyond the price of gold.
So deep and large her bounties are,
That one broad, long midsummer day
Shall to the planet overpay
The ravage of a year of war.",
from May Day, by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
"Drug the cup, thou bulter sweet,
And send the nectar round;
The feet that slid so long on sleet
Are flad to feel the ground.
Fill and saturate each kind
With good according to his mind,
Fill each kind and saturate
With good agreeing with its fate,
And soft perfection of its plan -
Willow and violet, maiden and man.",
from May Day, by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
