Beltane, celebrated in May, embodies the essence of spring, symbolizing growth, renewal, and the reawakening of nature. As flowers bloom and trees fill with foliage, May brings three significant celebrations that reflect the diversity of human experience.

Mother's Day honors the incredible women who have nurtured us, offering a time to express gratitude through flowers and thoughtful gestures. Memorial Day serves as a solemn tribute to the brave individuals who have served our nation, inviting reflection on their sacrifices, often marked by flags and flowers at gravesites.

Finally, Cinco de Mayo is a lively celebration filled with music, laughter, and rich cultural traditions, bringing communities together with vibrant parades, delicious food, and spirited dances.

Together, these celebrations make May a month of reflection, gratitude, and joy, intertwining life, remembrance, and exuberance.

MAY FULL MOON RITUAL

 

This is a time to enhance love, wealth, or anything you wish to amplify.

 

To create a powerful and intentional space, gather the following items:

 

1. Two white candles: Symbolizing purity and protection, these candles will help safeguard your energy during your practice.

  

2. One Tansy Wish candle: Choose this unique candle while supplies last, as it is designed to draw in and amplify your deepest desires, illuminating the path to your aspirations.

 

3. White Sage: A sacred herb known for its cleansing properties, white sage will help clear any negative energy from your space, making room for positivity and intention.

 

4. Paper and pen: Use these tools to write down your intentions and wishes, capturing your thoughts and desires in a tangible form.

 

5. Incense: Select an incense that resonates with your goals and intentions; its fragrant smoke will enhance your focus and amplify your energy.

 

6. Holy Water: A symbol of purification, holy water can bless your space and intentions, adding a sacred element to your practice.

 

7. New Rose Quartz crystal: Ensure this beautiful crystal is brand new and unused; rose quartz is known for its powerful energy in attracting love and compassion, making it an essential part of your intention-setting ritual. 

 

With these items, you are poised to create a nurturing environment that invites your desires to manifest.

To begin the ritual, first clear the area using white sage. This will cleanse the space of any lingering energy, allowing you to start fresh. Next, take a pinch of holy water and sprinkle it in the four corners of the room. 

 

Then, write on the tansy wish candle what you wish to amplify in your life. If you need to use a different candle, you can write your intentions on a piece of paper instead. Finally, light the tansy wish candle and read the following:

 

"Growth is my mission, my heart's true delight,  

With dreams like the stars, so vibrant and bright.  

As my hopes and my visions glide into the night.  

Thank you to the universe for making everything right."
