Greetings, Magical Souls!

April has flown by! We are entering into May this week!! 😲😲

This past Saturday Candie and I got together to discuss May content! It is always fun to come up with ideas for the month, catch up, and eat tasty food!

May is mental Health Awareness month so we are going to try and keep the newsletter around that theme. As someone who battles bipolar disorder, ADHD, and anxiety this month is close to my heart! We hope you take care of your mental health 365 days a year as it is the only brain you have!

Sage Advice

Beltane or Mayday marks the peak of spring and the transition into the warmer months. A lot of people who suffer from seasonal depression are opening up to the sunlight and what the spring and summer bring forth!

Some themes for Beltane:

1. Passion: Beltane is a time to ignite the flames of passion, both in relationships and personal pursuits.

2. Creation and Fertility: Beltane celebrates the abundance and fertility of the Earth, highlighting the generative power of the season. Use the energy of the season to create a life you desire. What do you want to call in to you?

3. Honoring Nature: Nature has officially woken up from the darkness of winter and is in full bloom. You dreamt of these days and now they are here.

So what better way to help your mental health than following your passions, creating a life you desire and blooming?! Take Beltane as your sign to do it!!

Beltane Correspondences

Night Sky: Moon, Regulus and the Sickle

In the early evening hours of May 4, 2025, the 1st quarter moon will lie between Mars and the Sickle of Leo the Lion. Then on May 5, the waxing gibbous moon will glow near Regulus, the brightest star in Leo.

The predicted peak of the Eta Aquariid meteor shower is 15 UTC on May 5. And the Eta Aquariid meteors you see are remnants of Halley’s Comet! The peak of this shower stretches out over several days. So you can expect elevated numbers of meteors a few days before and after the peak time. The mornings of both May 5 and May 6 are good times to watch!

Mystical Beginnings usually has money drawing candles and other handmade intention candles available for purchase! You can dm her on Instagram to place an order or get something custom!
