In many Witchcraft traditions, Beltane is April 3o, or May Eve. To enhance and bring these bright, loving energies into your life, first take a small blade or wooden pick and inscribe and then anoint a purple candle with symbols of passion, ardor, and love. You can use a simple oil, such as olive, which has been blessed previously, or if you have another oil you prefer, such as an essential oil, dress your candle with that by tracing the symbols you carved.

Safely light the candle and focus on all the things you like about yourself, how special and unique you are, and what you have to offer to love. Allow your imagination to wander, and don’t scrimp on the praise.

Stand in the shape of a star, with arms and legs extended in a stance of receptivity and healthy self-esteem. Now focus on those energies and qualities in others that you wish to draw to you. Chant the following nine times:

To me, to me! Energies of passion
And truth and love in accord.
May love find me shining
and standing strong
That my tribe will find their way home.

In the coming days, stay open and receptive to the new people who come into your life. Even if someone isn’t your usual type, you might be surprised at what you’ll learn about them, the world, and yourself. Blessed be.
