Beltane is a celebration of the union of the God and Goddess. Of the Male and Female energies that exist in all of nature. Beltane is a fertile time of year,it is a time to start new projects, to plant the seeds of imagination and thought in the fertile universe.

My Favourite Way to Celebrate

There are many kinds of altars out there, and they come in all shapes and sizes. My favourite is a ceramic dish filled with things/items that represent and correspond to the celebration or Sabbat. 

The picture above is from last year's Mabon Celebration. I collected some seasonal flowers and petals as well as a gold candle, some yellow ribbon, a Quartz crystal, my pentacle pendant (which is pewter) and a feather. 

This is a perfect way to honor the season and the sabbat if you don't have much room to set up a full altar.

Making Clay Candle Holders.

For months I've been trying to find this recipe for making clay, but tonight I found it and I have it a go.  The image shows my attempts. They are candle holders for my Beltane Altar. They aren't finished yet. I want to paint the Horned God in Gold and the Triple Goddess in Silver.

Here is the recipe if you want to give it a go yourself.

MAKING CLAY GODDESS FIGURES
by Jasmeine Moonsong

Wiccan Moonsong

Something fun to work with is clay. :))) It's very easy to make and you can do soooo many things with it. It's a fun project to get the kids engaged with as well.

What You Need
- 1 Box baking soda (about 2 cups)
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups water
- sauce pan
- bowl
- spoon
- saran wrap

Mix all the ingredients together in a saucepan. Cook it over medium heat, stirring constantly. It's done when it becomes too thick to stir with a spoon.

Let it cool for about 15 nihutes, or until you can touch the dough. You then want to knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth.

You can then mold it into whatever you like. I showed some Goddess figures above, but you can also make other items that are of significance to you, runes or whatever you like. :))

Put them somewhere safe to let them dry. It can take 1 - 2 days depending on how thick what you made is. You can then paint it however you like. Tempera or acrylic craft paints work best. :)))

Have fun!!

Protecting Boundaries with Agate

Positive Rainbow Circle

We all need a little extra positivity in our lives on a day to day basis. The challenge of this is to find at least one positive thing to say about yourself. This isn't always easy. 

I love ........ about myself

I love my ..................

Nothing can be defamatory to your character, or a put down.  

Example: 

I love my CREATIVITY

I love my COMPASSION, KIND HEART and LOVING SOUL

What are yours?

The Rainbow Witch 13-04-14

Being a Rainbow Witch pretty much means I am eclectic in my path and where it leads me. Before I decided to use the name Rainbow Witch to describe myself and my path, I referred to myself as an Eclectic Witch, and here is my explanation and experience as an Eclectic Witch... As a Rainbow Witch.

When I began following a pagan path, I found that so many things were calling to me, and from learning all of these different things from many different traditions, I have become a better and fuller person.

Being Eclectic means that I don’t follow one specific path with its rules and beliefs. Instead I learn, read and research about a wide range of different paths and traditions, and most importantly, I learn about what feels right to me. Every new thing that I learn, becomes a part of who I am, a part of my own spiritual path, and in doing so, it changes me just a little bit each time.

At this point in my life, I feel like I am the best person I can be, and this is, I think, due in part to the spiritual growth I have attained and the fulfilment it has brought me. Do I want to stop growing? Hell no! I never want to stop learning and discovering new and exciting things. This is one reason I don’t want to give up on ‘The Pagan Tree’, in the short time I have been researching the different paths and traditions I have learnt new things, and I have also remembered things I have seemingly long forgotten.

Sometimes I will read a book, an article, or research a subject and I will take a lot from it and incorporate it into my own practices, but there are other times when I will take nothing from it other than the knowledge that I have gained from doing it.

“There is no right or wrong way to practice being an Eclectic Witch.”

If I feel like I want to study Shamanism or a certain Pantheon of deities I can do that, and I do. If I want to learn a new form of divination, or work on my chakras I can do that too. There are times when I do no studying at all, and I just practice and live what I have learnt, what I already know and believe.

I could never imagine leaving this path, at least in this lifetime. I feel that I can achieve all that I want and desire in my life both physically and spiritually. I will continue to learn and grow.

Being an Eclectic Witch, to me, means that I will never tire of my spirituality, it will never bore me, and it will never become a burden to me.

I hope this has answered any questions that you may have, or might have had. There are so many different paths out there to follow, but the best one for you is the one you choose for yourself.
