A very old custom is to collect the morning dew at sunrise on Beltane to wipe over your face for beautiful skin
I wish I could do this but I think the pollen would kill me :/
I had too much wine last year but hopefully I remember this year 🤣
@@alexmurray9843 omg same 😳
That was BEFORE cars and air pollution being at an all time high. It's unsafe now
I wanted to do that this year but didn’t. :(
I've grown comfortable being single for 4 years. But even on Beltane, I know that instead of crying, I know that I have strong faith of the god and goddess will give me someone new. No matter if it's Valentine's Day or Beltane, when it comes right down to it, we're never alone. The most important lesson that we need to remind ourselves is, learn how to love yourself in order to love others. To my Pagan brothers and sisters have a blessed Beltane. 🌞🌙🌈🌳🌲💐🌹🌼🌻🌺🌷🌸🐝🐦💛💜💓🔥
Yes, never alone. the Goddess loves us.
Personally having to celebrate my first Beltane as a pagan alone. Took a self love bath 🛁 🥰. And I’ve also indulged in delicious fruit and cake today .
UMMM, great ideas!!
i’m in the broom closet and I KID YOU NOT me and my friends (also in the broom closet) celebrate it by making birch houses in minecraft, gardening, and doing Beltane fire festivals in minecraft and it’s AMAZING
I love that idea!
If you what to protect your home, but want to avoid salt damaging the earth or your interior, use eggshells. They are great substitute for salt circles.
I rent my apartment, so I was looking for other protection substances other than salt and someone said eggshells. The eggshell powder has been working great for me so far.
remember this not the only plane on which to work.
TheSparrowBatman Ash! The African way.
Blessed water/Florida water and red brick dust are also great for protection
Blessed be
Why so?
Is it because the spirits/fae/whatever will step on the eggshells, thus alerting you to their presence?
I'm sorry I did not mean to unlike your comment I meant to like it.
Since i am still in school, i decided to wear a yellow shirt and make a flower crown of yellow, green, pink, and purple. (They're fake flowers, but i put time and intention into making it, so it counts 😂) When i get home, my time will be spend cleaning my room bc ive been procrastinating it, and today is the day to get it done
That’s a really great idea!
Guys... Less than a year ago there was 7k subs. Now there's 35k I'm so happy! Whoo! Support to hearth and the magical community here!
Now 112K!! 😍
And now there's 112k!!!
I'm in New Zealand and we celebrate Beltaine on the 1st of November- being In the southern hemisphere!
This is my first Beltane. I can barely do anything in my home because my parents are super religious and it can be difficult for me to celebrate and pray openly. From seeing everyone's commenrs from 3 years ago, it's helping me figure out how to subtlety celebrate. I can't use real flowers for anything, but I know intentions are everything and I can easily get fake flowers to make my celebration worthwhile for myself. I tried gardening, but my patio does not get direct sunlight so all my plants died. I plan to bury my dead plants as an apology to the gods and sprites and ask for forgiveness for my poor planning 😭 I can't wait to wear flowers in my hair, protecting myself and my husband, and doing small things like making lavender honey bread, fruit tarts, and just having fun in my kitchen. I'm a new hedge witch so I am still learning. I want to thank you and everyone in these comments for the help and ideas as to what I can do in my small place and in the broom closet.
I'm sorry to hear about your plants. If you haven't already, read up on shade-loving plants. You might, for example, be able to get a lovely fernery going
You can definitely cook with intention without anyone knowing. A spoon can be a wand, and stirring as you say your prayers in your mind or under your breath. Every time you make coffee or tea or even lemonade or pour your water you can do witchcraft. You can set fresh flowers on a table and Noone will know that the water and flowers are offerings. When making any dish look up the magical associations for your ingredients. Spaghetti and meatballs can be a spell you and your family can eat, after all food is love. I sometimes write sigils or spells with icing in the middle layer of a cake. Or even scoring a sigil or "design " under bread, cupcakes, and cakes. You can get really creative and no one will ever know. Instead of lighting candles, you can take a ritual bath or shower, sew runes and spells to the inside of your clothes for protection. Make art with hidden sigils in the paint. You can do glamour magic by enchanting your makeup and perfume and also protect yourself or recite or chant mantras and affirmations in the mirror. Put on a bandana or head scarf and you can be veiling to protect your energy and recharge.You can even use Christian iconography in place of a God or goddess. I use the Virgin Mary and I have a cross in my room that doesn't represent Christianity at all. If you are catholic you have a bumch of saints to choose from that can represent any deity. Set a dish for coins and you have an offering bowl for ancestors or fairies. When sweeping I'm doing witchcraft and when mopping I add salt when no one is looking and add essential oils for "scent" my mother thinks I'm doing chores but I'm actually cleansing and ridding the home of negativity. Spirituality doesn't need to be visible, you live it in your everyday mundane life.
I also wanted to add that the Bible is full of passages you can use to be in the broom closet. I recommend the Psalms and a great source. You can also practice Bibliomancy, divination by flipping through the Bible or any book and choosing a passage, you may use dice to pick the chapter and verse and then interpret it in your own way according to your question. You family will think you are being a good Christian but little do they know...
Wow. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks so much for all you do and Happy Baltane. Blessed be
I always create a batch of Beltane incense with all plant material I've collected myself, then a lovely wood wick yellow candle with colorful ribbons tied around the jar to burn on Beltane. I use the incense as an offering to Goddess and thank her for all my abundances, as well as ask for Her blessings on my gardens. The candle and incense are imbued with love magick in celebration. Blessed Beltane everyone!!!
I feel lonely on this holiday and your video educated me about Beltane and made me feel part of the world wide celebration. :)
realising they're so thankful for hitting 7000 subs in this video and looked and at time of my posting this comment they're up to 108K. Happy beltane beautiful spirits and loves.
I’m glad that there’s other ways to celebrate Beltane than just fire (ugh my asthma) and I’m even more glad that you explained it all so thoroughly!
Tree dressing is actually becoming a problem. Prior to its vandalisation, the Glastonbury Thorn was suffering badly from the quantity of clouties tied to it. It's a great tradition, but please be aware of the fact that the tree needs to grow and receive sunlight. The vandalisation was in part a reaction to this.
I'm interested in celebrating Beltane, but since I'm forced to follow the whole "Stay-at-Home" order by the government, don't have any friends to share with, and staying in the broom closet from my Christian family, I'll never get a chance to celebrate something new to me. 😢
Hopefully when the pandemic is over, I'll start by stepping outside, doing meditation and reconnect with the spirits. Thanks for sharing this video. 💖🍄🌿🍄💖
For mental wellbeing and since most countryside is not busy I'd say go ahead and do it, you will get more beneficial effects from vitamin d and fresh air, have some peace with nature and try your mind from the virus for a while x
I love how you are so open when explaining stuff 😁 I'm new to witchcraft, and (with life in general) I tend to freeze up with: "Am I doing this right??? 😵😫"
It's reassuring to know that little things still count as celebrating ☺️
You are so informative and mature and not lame at all! It's hard to find this much info for free.
Another fantastic video! It seems like so many of the sabbats are about fertility and rebirth. I think I'll celebrate it as a fire festival. Cant wait! Thanks for great info! Also your makeup looks so pretty!
On the subject of trance, Eivor's music always gets me in the mood. 😍 Shes amazing. Heilung is great as well.
Thank you for sharing! I think I have fallen in love with this artist, I will definitely incorporate her into my practice
@@loriumbo no prob! I cant imagine my practice without her now. I never experienced a trance until i heard her music 😌
Heilung is amazing. Really brings out something primal ❤️🤘
I've recently discovered your channel and I'm binge watching all your videos at the moment! Thank you so much for the great content. I'm just getting into witchcraft and your channel is a huge source of information for me. Btw, I love your hair color and eye makeup, it suits you so well :) Take care!
Great video ! I am very fond of Beltane .I am fortunate enough to live in a very rural region in Massachusetts .I enjoy the flowering and birth of the light half of the year.
I'm so happy to have found your channel! I shared your video with 2 friends who are new to this beautiful path. Subscribed! Blessed Beltane 2021 🔥🌷🌸💜
AMAZING!! Thankyou!! xx
Thank you, many blessings!
Thank you so much for all the great information!
Hearth, as always, an excellent dive into a pagan holiday! As for music, it brings to mind the band Eluveitie. They're a metal band (Celtic melodic death metal), but also have some very traditional songs and albums. Most of their work focuses on ancestors, war, dancing, and beer lol I love (most of) their work, and mourn the band's breakup within the past few years!
You like skald?
@@patirck024 When the mood for it is right, yes. They use a lot of interesting instruments, that's for certain! And their vocals are amazing.
can you please do a video on how to use wands if you haven't already ❤️
Really enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️☀️
I always love watching your videos
Brilliant video! I learn so much from watching you. I'm sooo excited for Beltane 😁 xx
I love this video!!! it is very detailed and very useful!!! thanks so much. love you and your channel!!!
thank you for making this video as it was very very helpful for me!
hey I’m watching this before this years beltane! thank you so much ! So much information so fast it’s so nice and not boring haha!!
Hello Hearth, very, very informative video as usual. Thank you!! You rock lady!!
I just found your channel and I love all of your videos. Thank you for all the information and thx for breaking it down so it is easy to understand.
Your content is so wonderful and means so much to me! Blessed Beltane!
What a lovely overview with so much history. Blessed be.
You put in so much knowledge into these videos! I would have to watch multiple ones to get the information in just one of your videos, as a baby witch you also explains everything so well!
Wow just started watching you today, this is my 3 rd video of you! Just wanted to say congratulations on your growth in the last year since this video ❤️ finding UK source has been hard so glad to have found you
I LOVE you! Blessed Beltane!!! How informative you are!!
This was a very informative video on Beltane. I do love to learn all I can. and so thank you for this video.
Another great video, Thank you for sharing ♥
Fantastic & educational as always! I’m not sure what I’m doing yet, but you have given me some fantastic ideas! I just met a great group of local ladies in my area and I’m thrilled to be joining them in a few outdoor ceremonies and meetings as soon as the snow melts.
Wonderful video! Looking forward to trying some of these ideas out tomorrow!
this video was amazing!!
They are the best
Watched it all. Loved it all. Muahs!
Great video! I was looking for inspiration and found it in abundance. Many blessings!!
You are awesome goddess.
Happy to stumble into your spectacular space!!
Thankyou!!
Great, comprehensive video. It's so sad that we must have solo, scaled-down celebrations this year.
Great video! You look gorgeous - love your makeup 😊
I just made a green and a pink tea light to light at noon as well as I will be doing some gardening and at noon I will eat with the candles burning. After that I will be having a shower, cause tomorrow is school and to represent new beginnings. I didn’t have any herbs or crystals (except rose quartz and carnelian) because I’m at my Christian grandparents house! Yay.
Happy Beltane Witches, Wiccans, Pagans, and All!!! Blessed be loves!
Just came from Paisley's live stream (The Spaces Between). She spoke of Beltane, and it sounded like a lot of things I already do naturally come spring, so I decided to look for more information on this and I found you! 🤗
What a great video! 👌❤🕯
I love these indepth vids! Keep up the good work x
You are absolutely wonderful. I have pages full of information I've learned from you. Thank you for helping me feel more confident in my practice. Much love. 🧡
Another great video! I admit, I do struggle with fertility celebrations like Beltane because I have very personal negative connotations with fertility. I want to make an effort to make Beltane a more positive experience and more focused on the fire aspect of the season... but it's hard when everyone only talks about fertility lol
Wolf Mama maybe try to look at “fertility” in a more abstract meaning such as “new beginnings” or “abundance”
fertility can be just something you create, like a painting, art, food, writing a book, or any other project...
Happy Beltane, sister! Thanks for the highly informative video on this lovely day.
Looove this video!
This video is sooo informative!
I have a question: I wanted to do a coming of age celebration for my daughter(she is 16) on beltane. Would this be a good time to do a coming of age celebration?
Yes it's a perfect time for it
I think it fits perfectly! It’s literally about rebirth and new growth. It’s perfect for a birthday.
Ooh yes a maypole, and bonfires if you have a firepit. Where I live we use everything as an excuse for a maypole.
Yes Very
Thank you for these videos!! They have been monumental in my implementing my pagan practice 💜😊
Happy beltane blessed be!
This is such a great video I love you sooo much , your such a great person and so lovely ♥️!
Thank you so much, you're so sweet xx
You always make such great videos ♥ I would love you to do one on the Fae, it would be exciting to hear you talk about them! Much love x
Chloé Pastel Witch i agree!!!
thank You🌹
I'm in the broom closet and I also work in the floral department in a grocery store so this year as my first Beltane I'm going to wear as much red as I can and I'm also going to have a candle (cause I don't have a way to have a fire) I also will maybe give an offering to the fae
Thank you for this very informative video about the Beltane celebration. I have collected a lot of information and to celebrate Beltane this 2022 in the southern hemisphere. Blessings and Happy Samhain. 😘💚🙏✨
Thanks so much
Fabulous Video Sister ❤️🧙🏻♀️
Today I did a small spell. Sowed marigold seeds and did a prosperity sachet. Also did a Beltane meditation. Will be going for a walk with my hubby later and take in nature.
Happy Beltaine 2021
Your videos are my favorite for the pagan holiday celebrations.
Very detailed and presented with care. Thank you, from a Wicca learner. :)
Started celebrating today. I need a head start because I am injured. So I was able to go on a walk with my husband and took pictures of all the blooming trees and I also have flower patterns in all my clothes. Loving my thrifted flower power pants. There so colorful and fun to wear. Tomorrow I paint something for Baltane. Thanks for all you do darling. Blessed be
You've given me an idea to use my smart lights to light up my living room Beltane colours ^_^ I love these videos you do. They're so useful and informative so thank you for all the hard work you put into them
This is such a good idea xx and thank you so much
Lovely ideas and inspiration. I think it’s really important as we reconnect to nature through these rituals that we become more aware of where we are getting our crystals/incense/herbs etc from. Local and respectfully sourced has got to be the way forward!
thanks this is really useful, Im going to start a webcomic called Tales from Beltane Hill and Im doing a lot of research, this really helps! thanks for all this great information!
I will celebrate on my own and even plant some seeds this next Beltane celebration!
I love your videos!
My favorite youtube channel cant say it enought..Hearth i lov u so much..thank you.. U r rock eternally..i share most of ur videos on facebook..i lov ur wickedly awesome videos
thank you beautiful
Really loved this, thank you so much!! Anna. 💕💕💕👍 🌛
just got my beltane altar set up! im so excited for this sabbat.
Sharing this with my coven!
Hearth your makeup looks ON POINT in this video! i know it’s not a new one but i’m just seeing it (Sage Haven Tarot here on my daughters phone)
Thank you
...hard to find Oak Moss in Los Angeles....♡♡
Beltane Blessings!
Just realizing Beltane is my life day. This time last year I had major surgery and made it back from almost death.
Thanks so much for some inspirational information!
Have a wonderful Beltane! )O(
Happy Beltane!
Hi this is such a good video and lovely channel
The tree decorating reminds me of fever trees, which aren't particularly tied to Beltane. When someone you know would have a fever, you would take a strip of fabric from their clothing and go to a special tree, and then tie the fabric to the tree, as a type of spell to transfer the fever from the person to the tree, which wouldn't be harmed by it.
My prom is going to be on Beltane and im so excited :))
I loved thus video. It gave me wonderful ideas. I'm curious about the vail thining though, I thought that only happens on sam Hain.
Have you done Litha, or am I missing it? 🔥 Thanks so much for your videos. 🌞
Great video! New subscriber here :) I'm doing a big Ethiopian feast with my witchy friend and hubby as well as a huge bonfire! We live out in the country so everyone has a burn pit ;) I'm also making a mini maypole for my altar too!
Flowers, flowers everywhere around here in Sebastopol and I've been picking a little bouquet everyday and roses, roses, roses. Drying them to make tea and dream pillows. Missed so much celebrating with my pagan sisters this year because of the virus lock down. Next year. Definitely needed protections--thank you. Music, music!!! "Earth my body, water my blood......."
I would love some Incense & Oil recipes for Beltane. Thank you!
Great vid! Blessed be! )O(
Thank you for the upload. I’ll probably watch more of your video’s. Have a blessed Beltane (It’s called ‘Walpurgisnacht’ where I live. I’m an absolute newbie btw, I became interested in Tarot a couple of months ago although I purchased my first deck sometime in 1981. That was the ‘Tarot of Marseilles’ by Grimaud Cartomancie, the deck was accompanied by an (in)famous LWB, So I kept the deck for decorative reasons and it eventually wound up sitting in a drawer...
Greetings from Belgium 🌟🃏
Thanks for the reply boo boo. That might work with an RWS deck but doubtful with a Marseilles. Anyway I’ve done some reading, YT-ing and bought a universal RWS deck. 🤓
