With the festival of Beltane just behind us it is not surprising that the Flower Moon is name because of the beautiful flowers that are inabunance at this time of year.
The flower moon has a variety of energies within it’s symbology. It is about love, laughter, fertility and reclaiming our power. Now is a strong time for potent magical energy, deepening relationships and really connecting with our power.
In our relationships the Flower Moon asks us to be vulnerable so we can become more intimate with ourselves and others. Now the passion of Beltane has subsided it is time to let go that which holds us back from true vunerability. Which is the frighting foundation of true love and trust. This time is a time of deepening your commitments in love.
At the same time May’s Flower Moon signifies both fertility and healing. It is sometimes known as the Hare Moon because we know what they’re up to this time of year. We’re talking some serious fertility people! Flowers and herbs used for medicinal purposes are now flourishing nearly ready to harvest before the Summer Solstice.
With the power of the sun growing and the Moon at it’s fullest this is the time to really bring those dreams to life. materialize. Don’t let anxiety or nervousness hold you back.
Make sure you don’t overwhelm yourself though. Every thing in balance. Make sure to include plenty of rest to avoid burnout. This season is about play as much as it is action! Get out in Nature and don’t forget to bring loved ones along 😉

flower moon activities

- Indulge in some play time- whatever that means to you !
- Dance Dance Dance – this moon is truly a time for dancing. So get your gladrags on and get jiggy with it. Or if you are like me put your pjs on and dominate the kitchen dance floor!
- Journal and plan – Do some journalling about how you will manifest your goal and the steps you need to take. It might be worthwhile looking at what is holding you back too.

Edible flower salt
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Salt Flakes
- 2 TBSP dried Cornflowers
Instructions
- Pick cornflowers (Centaurea cyanus) and gently pull the petals from the bud. Lay them out flat on a plate. Leave them to dry completely for 5 days turning them regularly to release moisture. To speed up this process you could put them in the oven on low (40-50degrees Celcius) to dry.
- Place salt flakes into an airtight jar. Mix through the dried cornflowers.
- Serve on meals as a finishing salt.
