I love spending time here and learning about all the special celebrations, memorials, and holidays. Wonderful photos.
My goodness, your knowledge continually AMAZES me!! I LOVE reading about all the festivals, rituals, and magic that you bring to us. I learn something new each time I visit, and so look forward to your next post. I adore fairies, so I'll be looking for them :-) I would love a little fairy dust in my life, but you bring it to us with your incredible posts...
Well, it sure sounds like an exciting time to celebrate nature and fairies. We have fairies in our garden :)
I've been looking for a Green Man for our garden, I didn't know there was an actual time to celebrate.
I loved all of your beautiful pictures and positive energy.
Hi Kiki, i like those rose quartz with some amethysts. They are really the pure ones from the wilds, i dont want them shiny! The rugged normal structures are best. thanks. You know, a friend from Brazil sent me an amethyst geode, only small, perced by a rose quartz bird with blue at the head and tail, it is lovely. Unfortunately, some people in their post office scraped some crystals on the geode slub, horrible. The sender was so angry with his folks because they did not even wrapped it properly again with the enclosed plastic buble sheet. Really horrible!
Hi Kiki, I love this post! Thanks for sharing this information and your beautiful photos. I shall make on wish on Beltane! :)
As a fairy lover/believer this post carries a special meaning. It's hard not to see their magic when the whole world is exploding with beauty :0) Thank you Kiki for providing a place full of positive feelings and ideas XX (as usual, awesome photos!)
I learn something new every time I stop by! Can you please send Green Man out here for a freelance project? It's snowing. Somebody needs to remind Mother Nature that it's nearly May Day. (What? Me jaded?) I'm just cranky about our weather. I sincerely loved your post. :D
Oh Kiki, lovely photos as usual!
I have always been intrigued by fairy lore. Good post! And amazingly fun!

It's always a joy to come visit you and your beautiful photos...it is autumn here downunder, but last year my friend Wendy, who's birthday is 31st October, invited a group of us to celebrate her day of birth and also Beltane by joining her for a blessing holding hands, a yummy feast, and to join her in walking the labyrinth she has built in the park behind her home. Magical x

Have a lovely weekend!

Kiki, You always share magic and celebrations with us! Flora and Green Man sure have spread their arms wide across the world and covered our mother earth with beauty. Thanks for the reminder of Beltane ... the fairies are hiding in Lilacs, Magnolia, Apple and Viburnum flowers... to name but a few! I think they are a bit intoxicated. Beautiful post!
All over the world, we celebrate differently - but we celebrate the same things!
Wishing you a joyous May, Kiki!
What a wonderful celebration in honor of Flora, Green Man & Faery Beltane! Love the photos and your take on things!
Thanks for enlightening my day Kiki!

Hi Kiki,
I decided it was time to visit another one of your blogs and as soon as I saw the title mentioning the Green Man I had to come read and see.
My husband is a woodcarver and just recently started carving a green man.
I thought you would enjoy looking at it [in progress].

First off I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question that
I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was interested to find out how you center
yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I've had trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Cheers!
