Beltaine Blessings everyone ✨🌞🌝💮🌿
Wow, what an amazing celebration for Beltaine we had yesterday at Glastonbury.
Left home really early and got to the Tor to watch the Sun rise and then joined in the Beltaine parade from the Town Hall up to the field below the Tor. Then sat barefoot on the ground and watched the Maypole dancing celebrations.
I feel truly grateful, blessed and revitalised ❤️

Wow, suddenly plants have really woken up lately and the energy for getting things done is feeling so fast these past few weeks.
Spring has definitely started early and now we seem to be creeping towards Summer already! So many early blooms. How are you all finding this energy? I wonder if having all 7 planets in Aries back at the start of April has propelled everything along 🤔
Bluebells, Wysteria, wild garlic, cowdlips, abundance everywhere.
It's certainly kept me busy foraging and just simply bring at one in Nature 💚

As I walked from Lydney Harbour and along the river Severn, I was greeted by an abundance of wild medicine. So many medicinal plants were thriving, it was a delight to see and I was amazed that some Hawthorn and Elderflower were out in bloom already.

Thank you Forest Retreats for inviting me to to run a herbal medicine workshop at Hill Farm today.
The venue and the weather was perfect and after a Birch sap grounding ceremony, we foraged the meadows for Sorrel, Dandelion leaves & flowers, Ribwort plantain, Yarrow, Nettle and found some Rosemary next to the wood fired hot tub. Then each person made their own bespoke remedy using organic Apple Cider Vinegar.

It's that Cleavers time of year again 😊
Galium aparine / Cleavers commonly known as goose grass or sticky w***y, is a fantastic, refreshing lymphatic cleanser. Just add a handful to filtered or spring water and leave in the fridge overnight. Then strain and drink. It's really that simple.
Always make sure you are 100% correct with your ID
