Celebrating Beltane
Celebrating Beltane
Here’s a branch of snowy May,
A branch the fairies gave me,
Would you like to dance today,
With a branch the fairies gave me,
Dance away, dance away,
Holding high the branch of May!

MAY 1st brings the celebration of Beltane or May Day to us and with it a bloom of wildflowers in the meadows and petals in the air. With so much abundance in bloom, we gathered a collection of petals to dress our faces and hands with their delicate beauty.
What You'll Need:
-
Flower petals - try to gather all kinds to see how they work (thinner petals stay on longer)
-
Honey - choosing local honey is always a kind gesture to your hometown bees
-
Paintbrush - or a few in different sizes
-
Having a warm washcloth for clean up and a place for sticky brushes is also handy
A little honey goes a long way. Brush a tiny spot onto the petals and have fun with designing patterns or mandalas on your face, hands, and even feet! A necklace of petals is also beautiful.
May your Beltane be full of bright wishes and blossoms!
xoxo,
Sarah
