Beltane Fire Blessing Spell
Purpose:
To celebrate life, ignite passion, and bless your coming months with abundance, love, and creativity.
You Will Need:
- A small candle (red, orange, or gold)
- Fresh flowers or flower petals
- A bowl of clean water
- A stick of cinnamon or a few sprigs of rosemary (for fire and purification)
- A small piece of paper and pen
Timing:
At dusk or nightfall on April 30th or May 1st.
Spell Instructions:
- Create a sacred space.
Set your items on a table, altar, or even outside. Arrange the candle in the center, surrounded by flowers, the bowl of water, and your herb. - Ground yourself.
Close your eyes, take three deep breaths, and feel your connection to the earth beneath you and the sky above you. - Light the candle.
As you light it, say: “I kindle this flame in honor of Beltane, In joy, in love, in sacred flame.
Let life renew, let passion rise, Under the blossoming Beltane skies.” - Bless the water.
Dip your fingers into the bowl and sprinkle a few drops around you, saying:
“Water to cleanse, to bless, to renew, I welcome the life force in all that I do.” - Infuse the herb.
Hold the cinnamon stick or rosemary over the candle flame (carefully, without burning it), and say: “Spice of life, breath of fire, Ignite my soul with pure desire.” - Write your intention.
On the piece of paper, write one wish for the coming season — for yourself or for the world (e.g., “abundance,” “love,” “creativity,” “healing”). - Release it.
Pass the paper briefly over the candle flame (do not set it fully aflame; just warm it) and say:
“As the fire transforms, so too shall I. With Beltane’s blessings, I rise and fly.”Then, bury the paper under a tree, in your garden, or place it under a plant in your home. - Close the rite.
Thank the elements and spirits you feel present. Let the candle burn safely down or snuff it out respectfully.
Optional: Dance, sing, or jump over a (safely small) flame afterward — an ancient Beltane tradition!
