Beltane- a renewal time!

Beltane- a renewal time!

Beltane is one of my favourite Celtic holidays because it celebrates fertility, prosperity, sex, and the development of everything beautiful on this Planet. It's hedonistic to the extreme, brimming with abundance, vitality, fire, and fun times. It is a celebration of the blossoming of Life, of Love, of Union, and Beauty!

Full Moon, rituals and how to harness its power

Full Moon, rituals and how to harness its power

The Moon shines as a perfect white circle in the sky every 29.5 days. This is called Full Moon. Full moons that appear larger in the sky than normal are known as Super moons, but the difference may not be visible to the naked eye. In 1979, astrologer Richard Nolle came up with the term "Super moon," which refers to a new or full Moon that happens when the Moon is within 90 percent of perigee, its closest approach to Earth....

Creating your smudging ceremony

Smudging was used for thousands of years, either for purifying the air from viruses, repel the insects, as an aid in the healing ceremonies, or in the spiritual ceremonies. Different types of herbs, woods, or raisins were used, depending on the local flora, environment, and beliefs.
Whatever you decide to use when smudging, you have to make sure that you are setting up a safe environment.

How to care of your crystals

How to care of your crystals

Crystals are not just beautiful decoration pieces, they carry amazing healing properties and can help you in many ways. Each of them is unique, some more powerful than others. As everything is energy and vibrates at a certain frequency, everything that is around us can influence us at a vibrational level. By having in our space a high vibrational crystal, its energy is starting to influence our environment and our energy field, elevating the vibration that is around it at the healing vibration of the crystal. Also, the crystals are influenced by the energy around them, hence they have to be cleansed and purified frequently.
