    Liminal Magic: A Ritual for the Space Between Beltane and Summer Solstice

    May 29, 2025 /

    Are you looking for a gentle way to mark the shift from spring to summer? This Beltane transition ritual is designed to help you pause, reflect, and invite in the season’s magic… even if Beltane has come and gone. The wild, vibrant energy of early spring is giving way to something steadier, warmer – a golden, sun-drenched promise of summer. This “in-between” time – after Beltane but before the full heat of the solstice – is a season all its own. It’s liminal, full of possibility. The garden is growing fast, evenings are longer, and everything feels just a bit more alive. This is the perfect moment for a gentle…

    May 15, 2025 /

That’s exactly the spirit behind the Wild May Cup Mocktail, a vibrant blend of fresh berries, mint, citrus, and aromatic bitters.

Today’s Magic: The Summer Solstice arrives! As the sun reaches its peak, consider this:

“The longest day of the year is a celebration of warmth, abundance, and light. Ancient traditions marked the Solstice by gathering outdoors, honoring the sun, and sharing gratitude for all that grows. Light a candle, brew a cup of lemon balm or chamomile tea, or take a moment to bask in the sun—even if just for a few breaths. These small rituals connect us to the magic woven into this turning of the Wheel.”

Let today be a little ritual:
Open a window, let sunlight flood in, sip something herbal, or jot down what's blooming in your life right now. Happy Solstice!
