Lily-of-the-Valley is one of the birth flowers of May, along with the hawthorn. Not actually a lily, it belongs to the asparagus family. A symbol of purity, joy & love, it is said fairies drink from its cups & it protects gardens from evil spirits. #FolkyFriday #FolkloreSunday

Beltane Eve is a time of energetic entanglement and the magick of fire. It is a time for walking between the worlds. It is a time for becoming. You are welcome to join me in spirit tonight as I head into the wyrd woods and tread the red embers of the serpent path.

A blessed #Beltane to one and all!
