At 61 years old, I am purely blessed to be able to fully practice and celebrate my Craft in every nook and cranny of my home and garden. I literally have an altar in every room, and several in my gardens! I have been at this for almost 5 decades, but still enjoyed this informative video.
We are making May flower wreaths using charms, bells, flowers, & colorful ribbons. As a child, my mom would save throughout the year coffee cans (yes, I’m older). We would fill them wildflowers & water, and leave them on doorsteps of some of the older women in our community. We then would ring the doorbell & hide. It was so much fun!
Loved your 9 wood chant. Beltane is always so enchanting. My cov always makes flower crowns. I save mine from previous years and add new to it each year. We eat foods with flowers and herbs in them and dance I the moon light in white night gowns. May sound silly,but it's our tradition.
I just had an idea for something to do during Beltane (or really any Wheel of the Year celebrations) that might be especially interesting for people who can't/don't want to be open about their practice. Weaving bracelets and the like! You could do them in corresponding colours and even add symbols of the season into the pattern. This also goes for other crafts obviously. I like to knit scarfs in corresponding colours during the colder seasons and I just got back into bracelet making, so this came to mind :)
In Sweden, 30th of april is celebrated, and is called valborgamässoafton. My guess is that in english it can be called Saint Walpurga's eve. Saint Walpurga's day is 1st of may.
I'm going to plant sunflower seeds in little pots and grow them on my altar before planting them in my garden when they're big enough, hopefully at Litha.
I did a May pole dance as a Girl Scout when I was young. I’m planning a fire and an ancestor circle to celebrate my first Beltane. As always, thank you for the wonderful information, and I love those earrings!
my family speaks Scottish Gàidhlig and although they're catholics I say 'bel-chee-nya' with the accent of our island, I think it does vary with accents love the video ❤
I wouldn’t stress yourself out over the name and pronunciations. Just to confuse you further 😂 here are some other names for it: Beltain, Beltaine, May Day, Walburga, Galan Mai, Shenn de Boaldyn, Bealtinne, Beltine, Rudemas, Roodmas, Cetsamhain, Walpurgisnacht, Hexennaccht, May Eve, Tana’s Day, La Baal Tinne, Whitsun, Aphrodisiac, and Maia’s Feast! 😂😂😂
I actually got married on Beltane this year, we didn't get to do any other traditional Beltane things, the only fire we had was our unity candle and i wasn't able to get a May Pole together. Even so, the day has always been very special to me, now all the more so. ❤
I've had like a block of sorts with my craft for a looooong time. But watching your videos and how well you explain things, I have started my craft anew. I remade my BOS and thanks to you, I have rekindled my connection with witchcraft. Thank you soooo much 😍😭
Yes I love bringing in forsythia flowers and wild hyacinth. So many beautiful wild flowers all around me, I'm truly blessed. Beltane is my favorite time of year to speak with my ancestors and land spirits as well. 🌞🌱🔮🌻
I'm so glad you're here to remind me of these in-between holidays, I literally never remember 😅 you're my favorite youtuber Edit: your bloopers never fail to crack me up 😂
I've just made an unboxing video of your Beltane mystery box on my RUclips channel. This is the second box that I have bought from you and I really love them. I am looking forward to getting more boxes from you. 💜🌛🌕🌜💜
I love your clips at the end, and you freaking out about your pronunciation of Beltane. It shows you care to give accurate information. I've followed you for a few years, and I absolutely LOVE your videos and how much you've taught me! You are amazing!!!
Because its rainy and wet and unpredictable weather where i live until june, I've been actively trying to find movies that have the energy of the sabbaths this past year. Its nice to watch a movie with the energy of the time of year within its aesthetic and storyline. I've made a tradition of watching the old secret garden movie every spring.
Happy spring from Wisconsin! It’s only April 17th and woke up to snow… in April! Looking forward to Beltane and allergies season to come down a bit. ❤ Remember you have the #AbilityToBeAwesome!
I love sharing these videos with my coven, they love celebrating the turning of the year. We all just hang out and cook foods together. We try to make what we call "traditional" foods, do it's mostly foods that our families have eaten around these times in the year, I think we plan on doing a small little cook out on a grill this year.
My small town has a festival every second saturday of May. It's not exactly Beltane, but it's very similar, giving this town consists of mainly Scandinavians. I love going, and we have a beautiful May pole that townspeople decorate and put up in the center of the town.
This is my first Beltane and I'm so excited. The canal is gonna be full soon and I haven't been out walking in a while so it would be a good way to commenses Beltane. I also plan on casting my first circle and writing a special incantation for Beltane. There's a bunch of yellow flowers growing near some trees that I plan on using for the circle. I'm very excited. I also have a dedicated playlist it's a tradition I started around Samhein.since music is a main part of my craft.. when it was summer solstice I went out to eat I probably will again.
I Was Self Educating Using Your Resources and was Compelled To Say - I've Witnessed You Mature and Grow as I Have With Supports Like You, You Look Radiant and Refined, I Appreciate You! David, namestw 🙏
Hi beautiful Lady. I'm in Australia and our Beltane is coming up. I have always loved Pagan, Wicca and any Witchy. I'm super new to it all and haven't really followed anything in particular. But thank you for your wonderful tip's for this beautiful time.
Here in Sweden we celebrate ”Valborgsmässoafton” (Saint Walpurgas Eve) 30th of april. People are gathering around big bonfires near the sea and are singing in and welcoming spring. Then we also celebrate ”midsommar” (midsummer) were we dances and sing around the maypole, 20th - 26th of june. We pick flowers and make our own midsommer wresth and dress the midsummer pole. I work as a preschool teacher and the children loves to dress the pole and dance around it. They look so cute in their summer dresses with flowers in their hair.// Love and light from Sweden 🙏🏼❤️🌸🇸🇪
I just got around to watching this tonight (April 29) and since we are expecting heavy rain starting later tonight and for the next couple of days I decided to go outside now. I found a grassy area near my building and stood barefoot on the grass, closed my eyes, and asked for a message. I did get a message and started to cry (not of sadness, more of comfort) and when I opened my eyes a little brown bunny was nearby looking at me. It was a very peaceful moment and I did not move until the bunny had hopped away.
Happy Beltane! Thank you for this awesome video! I am interested in learning more about Augury. If you could recommend a book or do a video on it, that would be amazing!
It’s going to be hard for me to get into the celebration of Beltane because we haven’t really had spring yet… no flowers, no green grass, no leaves on the trees, and not really warm weather. Where I live, we tend to be a month behind when it comes to spring and summer. I am new to the craft so it will take time to find a way to work with what I have.
Thank you for a genuine, charming and I forming video.I felt like your comments resonate with me this Beltane.Keep posting you're clearly a caring lovely person who is connected with nature and folklore.Bright blessings this Beltane😊
you are a very good teacher. I enjoy listening to you talk about the subjects of magick. I have not missed any of your videos. Please continue to put out these videos. I would love to meet you in person but I don't see me getting to the UK. If you ever get to the USA that would be awesome. I am a veteran of the army and am a ordained priest of wicca. I, also, have a RUclips channel I post videos on wicca and magick on. So this is just to say that I love to watch your videos. Thanks for teaching us. Blessed be and merry met.
I subscribe to your videos on RUclips..this is something that I am actually glad to watch because I am doing research on Beltane...I am a witch .but, this year it's technically my first Beltane...awesome video 💜thank you
Thank you for this video!❤🎉 I'm not sure how I'm going to celeberate it, but I definitely want to get creative with colorful flowers💐 And I think I'm going to incorporate flowers more into my practice in general, because of this light energy that they carry. I wish there were more opportunities for me to pick them outside, but where I live that's not really allowed, or it's not very sanitary because of the many dogs around here that pee everywhere 🙈 that's the life of a city witch lol
@@rhyannonsparks1457 So true! And the irony is that I think actually the majority of witches live in cities nowadays, just because those are the most densly populated areas

@@jennytimelord9689 un the Mid Evil Period the Church assumed the Valpgisnatch Sanbath was alll orgies, baby sacrifice etc. "WITCHY Satanism" as it has a Modern Origin it does just become like an opposite Year Wheel Devils Note.

Your pronunciation was perfect. It is the pronunciation common to Druids and Irish, Scottish as well as Welch witches in the U.S. as well as across the pond. As an Irish, Druidic witch, it is how I pronounce it. That pronunciation is common to those of us that spell it, 'Belteine'. Hope that helps...
Great video! Quite informative. Will be including a recommendation, and a link to this along with another of your Beltane celebration videos, and your Beltane altar video on my channel's Beltane 2024 video on Wednesday.
3:20, this! I have always struggled with celebrating on the exact day of a sabbat. The weather is either against me 😂 I don't feel good or something else happens. At that point I'm thinking. Alright. Beltane may be on the 1st of May, but who says I can only celebrate it on that day? What about extending it? 30st April - 3rd May. It bothers me how I've heard people celebrate yule for 10 days or whatever it was, but these other celebrations are only for a day? Not a fan haha
In Poland 30th of April is "May's Eve" also known as "New Summer" or "Little Grove" which is all about bringing in shortly comming Summer. April is last month when in our climate we can expect frosts, we even have rhyme for that: "Kwiecień-plecień, co przeplata,/ trochę zimy, trochę lata" (April-braider, toghether it braids, a winter's and summer's strands). An then in 1st or 2nd May we have Dziady Wiosenne - celebration of ancestors and tradition. It calls for "earth-warming" with fires or cemetary candles. Interesingly we have national holidays in this days, and very much tradition and ancestors themed :). 1st and 3rd of May are free from work as Day of Workers (1st) and Constitution Day (3rd), but 2nd of May is Day of National Flag and is not free from work - but most people takes free time anyway. And this May Day(or May-Week rather) I'm going back to city I was born in. Maybe I'll have some time to make some fire on my family's land. So back to the roots it is :)
Hello, Hearth. You might never read this, but I feel like I have to do it anyway... First of all, english is not my native tongue (I'm french), so even thought I think I'm understandable, I sometimes make weird mistakes, sorry about that. I just wanted to say thank you very much for your videos and for being who you are. I'm 43, and I'm into esoterism (to be short) since I was a little boy, but I also have some mental health issues and I often push aside the Art. But for a few months now, i feel kind of different, I feel connected again, and I have to say that you and your videos have a lot to do with it. Even when I watch a video of yours on a subject that I already know, I feel good, I like the way you talk, and I like your energy. Also, I like the respect and seriousness (??) that you have for everything and everyone. I am more invested than ever in my spirituality and in my craft, and you help me a lot with that. It feels good. So thank you again, Hearth. Take care.
I made myself a non-functioning maypole two years ago that I used as altar decor that year, and since then I've been using it as seasonal home decor. I may be able to convert it to a functional one, but I'm still playing with ideas on how to do that. :) Edit: I intend to make a flower crown this year, which will likely also make its way into my yearly thing. Happy Bealtaine, everyone! Life's too busy for me over the next few days to do anything I'd like today, but that's ok. :)
Just as an addendum, May Day began as a jab at the royals and revolves around an elected may queen, Beltane is the traditional pagan holiday. They overlap, but are actually separate holidays. I say celebrate both anyway.
I defer to any native Irish voices, but as an Irish Pagan, I would pronounce it - "Bey-al-tih-na". I know native Irish speakers dislike the "bell-tayn" pronunciation, but I think an attempt to use one of the Irish pronunciations would be appreciated. 😊 Also, a word of caution about collecting Hawthorne. Some Hawthorne trees are Fairy Trees so it would be incredibly dangerous to cut & bring inside. The other crowd are to be respected & even feared. If the Hawthorne stands alone instead of in a group or hedge, it would be best to avoid it altogether. Happy Bealtaine!!
The may pole is not necessarily a phallic symbol as much as it represents the world tree, the pole of Asherah, the pillar of Hekate, etc. I know it's commonly believed to be a phallic symbol but it kind of irks me how most people default to "it's a ween" without even mentioning the heavy association between the tree/pole/pillar and the Goddess.
Hello. I do love your contect its very infomative and helpfull. I just have a little question. If I miss the day can I still celebret Beltane the day after or until midsummer?
Hey! Can you make a video about witchcraft and pets? My dog is a very active girl and I don’t know if whenever I cast a circle her presence disturbes the circle or if her presence will alter the spell casting results… I live in a very small apartment and don’t know what to do or if she is gonna change the effects of my work. I can’t lock her down bc she will never stop barking. :(

I really like you explained Beltane and using yellow flowers and the alter. I have a fire pit looks like a cauldron
Just in time ❤️
I just realized Beltane is an anniversary sabbat of me deciding to become a witch a whole year of my practice.

I remember going to see the well Dressings in Darbyshire as a child with my Mum and Dad.

Thank you 😊
Thanks Hearth
THANK YOU x
Can you do a video on offerings? I dont follow any deities, I just work with nature and energy but I feel like offerings are still appropriate

It’s really hard to spell things phonetically! Don’t worry about it xx
The may pole is not necessarily a phallic symbol as much as it represents the world tree, the pole of Asherah, the pillar of Hekate, etc.
I know it's commonly believed to be a phallic symbol but it kind of irks me how most people default to "it's a ween" without even mentioning the heavy association between the tree/pole/pillar and the Goddess.
My birthday is right after Beltane! So maybe I can celebrate Beltane and my birthday at the same time!

Hi Hearth! Will the earrings you wear be available for us to purchase? Thank you!
You missed an awful lot. Baltane is Spring and rebirth. I am intersex and infertile but I can make plants grow. Blessed Beltane💜
Be el tin ah, is how I heard an Irish guy say it on a witchy podcast!
Hello😊
❤ Thank you!
Every year, I weave violets from my yard into my hair and burn my cinnamon broom from Mabon in my bonfire.
Hey! Can you make a video about witchcraft and pets? My dog is a very active girl and I don’t know if whenever I cast a circle her presence disturbes the circle or if her presence will alter the spell casting results… I live in a very small apartment and don’t know what to do or if she is gonna change the effects of my work. I can’t lock her down bc she will never stop barking. :(
