Have you ever felt the clawing of others who seek to depose you from your crown for no reason better than in so doing they determine their own worth?
I have, and I have allowed it to burden me overlong.
No more, no more, this is my life, and you are not centre stage in this soliloquy. I have to remember how to live.
 
What brings me pleasure, what sets my spark alight. The essence of this Beltane is the beating heart of what it means to truly be alive, the great gift of opportunity and time, and getting aligned with what makes us feel emboldened and emblazoned. What stokes the fire of your personal passion, Starlet? Burn away that which truly does not matter. Let the toxic threads that strangle be done."
- Joey Morris - Memento Vivere at Beltane
 
Beltane is the Otherworld gateway opposite to Samhain. It is the gateway of Life.
But as with all paths in the Spiritual World, Life and Death are not separate, they exist within one another at all times, and so, at the celebration of Life/force, we too celebrate and honour the Spirits of the Dead.
 
Memento Vivere means “remember to live.”
 
I truly believe that our ancestral spirits (and all the spirits around us who care for us) want us to LIVE.
They lived and died so we might live. They celebrate our choices, our successes, even our defeats and hard earned lessons - because they stand with us, stand by us - and so too should we remember them and honour what they have given us. Life. They have given us this great gift of life.
 
★ Rose in Witchcraft - Rose is often associated with Love spells and has a long rich history of folklore behind it. This belief in its power of Love and Romance magic means the energy of Rose is a catalyst in the spiritual realms for Love, and can be the oomph needed in any and all Love works.
 
★ Fern in Witchcraft - an ancient plant revered throughout time for its connection to liminal spaces, ancient knowledge and the fae. Thought to be protective and incredibly lucky, it can be used in spells to unearth treasure (even when that's internal treasure toward healing!)
