Valerie, owner of Golden Seraphina Apothecary & Healing and Daniela LeBlanc owner of Ravens Hollow Apothecary & Healing Hands Equine Body Work share with you information on the Pagan holiday, Beltane. We focus on how any belief system can celebrate this powerful holiday! Beltane is April 30th-May 1st and focuses on fertility and the coming together of the masculine and feminine energies. Fertility doesn't just mean baby time, but really anything you would like to manifest and grow. We talk about the history, traditions, foods, colors, altars, offerings and the reasons for celebrating. We also offer an example of a simple Beltane exercise! The list of herbs and altar ideas are below. Much Love & Many Blessings!

Beltane Altar Ideas:

• Add Colors! We go deeper into the meanings of the colors in the podcast. Green, yellow, blue, purple, white, black & red. use these colors with your candles, cloths, ribbons, plants & crystals. Even your own clothes!
• Masculine representations like Athame (knife or sword), antlers, sticks, seeds or a maypole centerpiece.
• Feminine representation statue of the goddess, floral crown, fresh flowers, cauldron or cup.
• Other offerings include: honey, oats, milk, fruits, potted plants, crystals & herb/plant like Rose, Lemon Balm, Balsam, Lilac, Carnations, Carrot Tops, Daffodils, Daisies, Yellow Dock, Dragons Blood Resin, Elm, Fig, Ginger, Grape Vines, Hazel, Hemp, Hibiscus, Hyacinth, Jasmine, Maple, Mint, Black Mustard, Nuts/Seeds, Oregano, Pansies, Parsley, Periwinkle, Pine, Plum, Pomegranate, Poppies, Prickly Ash, Rosemary, Savory, Spiderwort, Sunflowers, Sweet Peas & Willow.
