Beltane poems

Ideas to help you mark Beltane

Make a flower garland out of Clematis and Ivy woven together

Create a Beltane altar in you garden and leave offerings for the birds

Collect natural objects from Nature and make a Beltane sculpture in your garden

Cut long piece of Ivy and make into circle. Weave into this circle some wind chimes, beads, feathers. Hang up from tree.

Dance your socks off somewhere with friends
