The Druid's Herbal of Beltane

As you may have understood and felt Beltane is weaving its power already. Mother Earth is showing her grace and beauty and everything is ready to receive the Divine blessing of life and love. And here we are my fellow travelers ready to dance in the sacred rhythms of Earth. Beltane is here!

The Herbs of Beltane

Wise Witches of South and North, East and West I am happy to reveal to you the herbs of the Beltane. These powerful resources will empower your ritual for this sacred day, create a unique atmosphere for you and your loved ones and cover you with their invisible but omnipotent mantle of love.

Now, I created a list of herbs that you can burn in your ritual (bon)fire either indoors or outdoors and decorate your altar. Use these herbs in a fresh, dried or oil form as you please. I leave the selection to you but I share with you a recipe for a Beltane incense as well.
