Crystal terrariums 🔮💫💟
Don’t have any little jars for spell bottles?
Allow me to present…
GRAPHITE CONTAINERS!
They’re super cheap and can be found at basically any grocery store. If you’re a student you’ll likely have a ton of these lying around.
You can empty them, clean them out (I used a toothpick with some tissue paper on the end to whipe off some of the graphite smudges) and fill them with your hearts desire!
Not only all that, but also they’re super portable with how compact they are.
(Ft. an anti-anxiety spell bottle)
**Reminder that “smudging” is part of a closed practice. Please call in cleansing.

So if you’re lazy, chronically ill, a newbie witch, or don’t have the time, energy, or resources, here are some correspondences to incorporate into your celebration and some easy activities.

Hi again! It’s great to see you’re celebrating Beltane–that’s exciting!!
Beltane is the spring harvest, when the Earth’s spring growth is at its peak. This means Beltane is a huge fertility holiday, and also a holiday of growth, success, abundance, attraction, and love.
Now assuming you’re like me and not dancing the Maypole or doing handfastings (getting married), then you can still celebrate this holiday. Love, fertility and sex spells are well-powered on this day (in case you have an SO wink wink). Luck, attraction and prosperity spells work well on this day, too.
In terms of ceremonial actions, you can gather flowers. It’s pretty traditional to go out and gather flowers, and place them on an altar if you have one. You can be extra traditional by weaving a flower crown. Braids are often worn on Beltane, as they symbolize union, sexual embraces and people coming together.
Originally Beltane was a fire festival, so you could light a fire if you house and weather permit it, or light a nice candle space. On the other end, if it’s raining where you live, collect some rain water; it’ll be prime cleansing and beauty water for spells.
Some people dance, as that’s similar to maypole dancing. Others plant “wish boxes”, mini flower boxes where you plant hopes for the coming season, and watch it flower alongside your plants. Others simply pray and make a spring-y meal, often with eggs, fruit, breads and vegetables.
I know there are many more comprehensive Beltane posts out there that list ideas on how to celebrate. I hope this gave you some ideas, though. Have a beautiful Beltane, lovely!!! ( ^ ^ )ノ
