Seventy Seven

Summer Solstice

A time for gratitude, peace and time spent with nature.
The first official day of summer.

Yellow crystals, flowers and candles.

Beltane Blessings.

"Beltane, festival held on the first day of May in Ireland and Scotland, celebrating the beginning of summer and open pasturing.

Beltane is first mentioned in a glossary attributed to Cormac, bishop of Cashel and king of Munster, who was killed in 908.

Cormac describes how cattle were driven between two bonfires on Beltane as a magical means of protecting them from disease before they were led into summer pastures—a custom still observed in Ireland in the 19th century.

Other festivities included Maypole dances and cutting of green boughs and flowers." Encyclopaedia Brittanica

The Spring Equinox takes place between March 19-22 in the Northern Hemisphere.

Day and night are equal.

The first day of spring.

When light triumphs over darkness.

When the earth begins waking up, plants start to sprout from the ground, and animals come out of hibernation.

How can you celebrate this wonderful time of year?

🏵️ Sit and listen to bird song
🏵️ Pick or buy yourself a bunch of flowers
🏵️ Decorate some eggs
🏵️ Talk a walk outside and stimulate your senses
🏵️ Plant some seeds
🏵️ Spring clean - your home, your computer, your body
🏵️ Enjoy a warm bubble bath with some rose quartz for self love.
🏵️ Wear some aquamarine jewellery, the birth stone of march

Really looking forward to this next weekend.
My first faery event, my first out of county event.

International Women's Day 2023

If you are looking to treat yourself to a new crystal, or to wear in a piece of jewellery, amethyst is a brilliant crystal for women. Especially on IWD.

Amethyst is the ultimate symbol of feminine energy. It has a gentle and loving vibration.
For centuries, Amethyst has been used to amplify one's intuition, self-awareness, and creativity.
