Beltain is the time of love and love can come in many different forms, so since we’re stuck inside and can’t cuddle our loved ones I think we all need a bit of self love and self care right now.
(This might get a bit complicated but I was experimenting since I have all the time right now)
What you need
A Beltain coloured candle (Pink/Red/Yellow/Green, or white if you have nothing in those colours)
A medium sized jar
Paper and pen
Sea salt (protection and purity)
Rosemary(love)
Dried orange peel(joy)
Dried lavender/lavender incense ash (peace, love)
Dried rose petals/rose incense ash/rose themed decoration (like fake flowers) in pink or red (joy, love, sex if you need it)
Stones related to love, protection, and happiness
Any trinkets you find relating to love/happiness/protection.
Something small and personal that carries your energy (like a necklace or hair clip) I would recommed that your wear this all day prior to the spell.
A Beltain coloured ribbon (or a white ribbon of string if you have none of those colours)
Method
On the eve of Beltain, as the sun sets light your candle, if you wish to open your space to Deities or fae now is the time.
Write your intentions on the paper, fold it, kiss it, and put it at the bottom of the jar. Continue to think of your intentions as you go.
In an even layer, individually pour in your salt, rosemary, orange, lavender, and rose.
Nestle your stones and trinkets on top finishing with your personal item.
Close the jar and tie your ribbon around it.
Blow out the candle to finish your work and store the jar on your altar or by your bed until you feel the work is done.
