Let's celebrate the turning of the seasons with a Spring party for the modern-day pagan in all of us.
There's no good holidays for a while, but if you turn toward the witch wheel, you'll discover.... BELTANE! The Spring brings gorgeous renewal and rebirth to nature, and the Celts had it all down.
What is Beltane, and how can you party in the modern day? We've got origin details and some ideas of how to bring the celebration to a bonfire near you. Recipes, hearth fires, and maypoles are all included. Plus, a great update on Stephanie's newest rescue, a lunch box that will blow your mind (Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time.... anyone?), and a random deep dive into nostalgia prompted by what "the kids are doing these days."
