Happy May Day (and Blessed Beltane) from Brooklyn Herborium! We hope you are enjoying the warmer air and longer light, we certainly are.
Mayday, May 1st, is the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice, meaning spring is in full bloom! Traditional festivities honor the fertility of the season and include bonfires, flower crowns, and dancing the Maypole. The veil between worlds is thin and there’s magic in the air!
For the rising energy of high spring, we thought it would be useful to share with you some self-care rituals for your high energy life, recognizing that life, like your skin, changes within its own imperfection and that THAT, in itself is perfect. So when you look in the mirror and see a pimple or stress bump you don’t have to think “why is by body punishing me?” you can simply say “oh look, my body is doing everything it can to function well and keep me healthy, what can I do to support it?”
