🔥🌸 **Beltane Altar Reflections** 🌸🔥
This evening I created an altar for our Beltane reflection… a space to honour the turning of the wheel, the fire within, and the beauty of coming back into balance.
The altar was set facing north. At the northern point, I placed a piece of wood to represent earth… grounding, stability, and the foundation we build upon 🌿
In the east, I placed a magpie feather. This feather holds deep meaning for me. I found it in a small church in Cambridge, just after my mum passed. We always said she would come back to visit me as a magpie… so finding this when I did felt like a quiet hello from her 🖤✨
This feather represents air… but also memory, connection, and messages that move between worlds.
In the south, candles were lit to represent fire 🔥 the heart of Beltane. Passion, creation, life force energy… the spark that moves us forward.
In the west, a chalice of water 🌊 holding emotion, intuition, and the gentle flow of feeling.
Also at the northern point, I placed crystals to anchor that Beltane energy into the earth. Orange calcite, sunstone, moonstone, fire quartz… each one holding warmth, creativity, and that balance between sun and moon, action and intuition ✨
At the centre of the altar sat a maypole, made by myself, Poppy, and Fiona 🌸
A symbol of Beltane itself… of union, weaving, creation, and the coming together of energies to create something new.
At the top of the altar, three cards guided the energy of our space…
Archangel Zadkiel… bringing balance, compassion, and emotional healing 💜
Perpetua… the saint of authenticity, reminding us to stand fully in who we are, without shrinking or shaping ourselves for others 🌿
And the Full Moon in Libra… a message of balance, harmony, and a win win outcome unfolding ⚖️✨
This altar felt like a reminder…
to ground ourselves,
to honour what we carry,
to stay true to who we are,
and to trust in the balance that is finding us.
Happy Beltane 🔥🌸
May you feel supported, inspired, and deeply connected to your own inner fire.
