The Ultimate Guide to the Witch's Wheel of the Year: Rituals, Spells & Practices for Magical Sabbats, Holidays & Celebrations TAROT WHEEL OF THE YEAR SPREAD Predict the overall theme of your new year, as well as any important aspects of each month to come. 1) Cleanse and charge your tarot cards in the manner of your practice and perform any rituals you have developed to open your third eye. 2) After shuffling, draw twelve tarot cards, laying the first card down in the twelve o’clock position and continuing in a deosil (clockwise) direction around the circle. Each card will represent an important aspect of each month of the year, starting with January at the top, then February in the one o’clock position, and so on. 3) Now, draw a single card and place it in the center of the circle. This card will be the central theme of the new year. 4) If you like, take a photograph of your Wheel of the Year spread and journal about it in your grimoire, listing the card, its position and orientation, and what it means to you. Remember that tarot card readings merely reveal a probability and are always subject to free will. They do not dictate your life if you are willing to change your path. Materials: Tarot cards Grimoire or journal Writing instrument BELTANE Lush fields and colorful, bursting gardens greet Beltane, the second fire festival on the Wheel of the Year. Crops have taken hold and the rains continue to fall as life flourishes all around. The elements of Air and Fire dance in the meadows and forests, forming a succulent layer of dew as the sun heats the cool night air. Midspring festivals are common during this time, each celebrating the vibrant flowers and heightened fertile energy of the season. In the Celtic lands, it is a liminal time when the fae folk and other nature spirits travel into the mortal realm to partake in earthly delights and meddle in the lives of humans. In each village, warriors bid their farewells, having had one last evening of frolic before setting off to battle. Soon after, the difficult work of the harvest season will begin. But for now, it is time to revel in the beautiful chaos and breathe life into our wildest dreams. CELEBRATING BELTANE IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE At Beltane, the southern sun continues its descent, inching closer and closer to peak daylight as it reaches 15 degrees in Scorpio. In the night sky of the Southern Hemisphere, the Pleiades star cluster is visible by following Orion’s Belt upward to Aldebaran in Taurus but will rise just after sunset. May 1 SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE: November 1 PRONUNCIATION: BELL-tane ALTERNATIVE NAMES: May Day (Anglo-Saxon), Walpurgis Night (Germanic), Floralia (Roman) BELTANE DEW RITUAL: Receive the blessings of eternal youth and beauty. 1) At dawn on Beltane, gather a cotton cloth and a small glass bowl and make your way to a dewy hawthorn tree, meadow, or patch of grass. 2) Run the cloth against the greenery until it becomes saturated. Then, wring the dew out into the bowl. 3) When the bowl is halfway full, place it on the ground and face the rising sun. Walk three times deosil around the bowl while you chant, “Oh, Beltane dew, milky drops of maiden’s youth, bring me eternal beauty, inside and out.” 4) Sit on the ground facing the sunrise with the bowl of dew in front of you. Wash your face with the dew, massaging it into your skin in deosil circles. 5) Allow the dawning rays of sunlight to dry the dew on your face. Take care not to wash your face until the following morning.
