May

New Moon 11th   ✧    Full Moon 26th       

We are entering the light half of the year, here in the northern hemisphere. Spring is easing into summer. The energy of May is one of festivity, fertility, birth, growth and abundance. That being said, with these heavier times not everyone is feeling this vibrant new energy flowing in. Wouldn't it be such a beautiful gift to shine some light on the world? Shine May's vibrant energy out and be a beacon for others? The world is in desperate need of people to make a difference… people who can be the light-bearers of the world. By shining your light, not only do you change the quality of other people’s lives, but you also improve the quality of your own.

Beltane

Let’s gather in honour of the Sabbat Beltane. It represents the peak of Spring when Earth’s energies are at their most active. Beltane is a brilliant time in the Wheel of the Year to bring ideas, hopes and dreams into action. Join Gillian in this meditation to celebrate this blessed sabbat. 

Home Clearing

This is a powerful time to clear out stale energy in your home. Here are a few tips on clutter clearing.

Clutter creates obstruction in our lives, pulling our energy down. If you are looking for instant change, clear stuff out. Clutter Clearing will create more flow and freedom in your life, your dreams and goals will manifest much faster and easier while making space for new possibilities and opportunities to come your way.

A few clutter clearing tips:

• Schedule the time and book it into your calendar.
• No need to go big, start small (shelf, drawer, desk)... it's important not to leave anything unfinished. Remember, even the smallest steps create momentum.
• If you don't love it, use it or need it..... get rid of it!
• Make it fun, put music on, plan a fun reward for afterward. (i.e. order dinner in, a glass of wine, movie night...).
• Do a good deed, by donating your items to others in need.

After you've done your Clutter Clearing, another great way to boost the Feng Shui energy in your home is by bringing plants into your space. Plants are a gift for a home, they are living, breathing entities that increase the positive flow of energy. They have such good chi that clears the air, grounds us, connects us back to nature, softens the angles in our home and really does wonders for us!

Protective Home Blessing

Now that you've cleared your space, let's fill it with protective blessings!

INGREDIENTS

• One Whole Orange Peel -  for happiness, luck & family
• 2 to 4 Bay Leaves - for healing, protection  & strength
• 2 to 3 Cinnamon Sticks - for success, love & protection
• 1 Tablespoon Whole Cloves - repel evil eye
• 2 Cups of Water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place ingredients in pot or saucepan one at a time. State out load what each ingredient represents.
2. Pour water on top
3. Simmer and allow the protective and healing aroma to fill your house, banishing all negative energy and illness.
4. When done, let cool, strain and bottle remnants. You can sprinkle or spray the exterior of your home for extra protection.
5. With the remnants,  you can burry them outside your front door for extra protection.

May Recipe

Paying homage to my ancestors. Some of you may not know this, but my maiden name is MacArthur and I'm a proud Scott! This recipe is from last year but thought worth repeating.🌼

Scottish Oat Bannock

adapted from:

https://gathervictoria.com/2018/01/15/rosemary-oat-bannock-for-imbolc/

Serving - 2 medium sized Bannock Cakes (or eight pieces total)

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups rolled oats

• 2 cups unbleached flour

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 3/4 cups salted butter

• chilled1 cup of cream (and 1 tablespoon more for the caudle)

• 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary (1 tablespoon dried)

• 1 tsp. of grated orange zest

• 6 tablespoons of sugar (and three more tablespoons for sprinkling)

• 1 egg yolk (for the caudle)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a cast-iron skillet, stoneware or baking sheet. Place the oats, flour, salt, sugar, rosemary and orange zest in a large bowl, whisk together. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture with two knives. Stir in the cream until all the flour is absorbed. Gather the rough dough together and place it on a surface lightly dusted with flour. Knead until the dough holds its consistency (but don’t overwork).Divide the dough in half and roll out each half into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.In a small bowl, vigorously whisk your egg yolk with a tablespoon of cream. Then brush the mixture over the top of the bannock. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut each circle into 4 wedges and arrange the wedges 1/4 inch apart on the baking sheet. Bake about 20 minutes or until golden and crisping at the edges.

Note: you can sprinkle extra sugar on top after baking.

Enjoy!

Terra Wyrrd Healing

TERRA WYRRD is an Earth based spiritual path.  Terra means Earth, and Wyrrd refers to magick, or spells (wyrrdings) as a means of manifesting from the non-physical world to the physical.  Therefore, a Terra Wyrrd Healing is a facilitation of healing within a person by setting an intention and then bringing about conditions to create healing within themselves using a variety of senses and practices.  Terra Wyrrd is an eclectic practice that draws from many disciplines and is not dogmatically attached to any one tradition.
