Color of the day: Maroon Incense of the day: Cinnamon Let's use the language of flowers to celebrate Beltane! Create a little nosegay from garden flowers and make a charming bouquet as a gift for someone special today. Try roses for love, daisies for innocence, snapdragons for protection, carnations for health, lilac for a first love, ferns for enchantment, lavender for good luck, pansies for easing the heart, hosta leaves for devotion. Meadow sweet talks of a lovely bride, nigella says: "Kiss me quick!" Ivy is for fidelity, tulips for royality, peonies for beauty, sweet peas for tenderness, and verbena whispers of witchcraft.
Gather your chosen flowers and tie them together with a pretty ribbon. Attach a card if you want to explain the meanings of the blossoms. You can enchant the gift with the following verse:
Beltane flowers given from the heart,
Are blessed with love and this witch's art. |
