The Legend of May Eve - The Devil's Birthday

May Eve is the start of Beltane, that wonderful Witch sabbat and it is also known as the Devil's Birthday. There are many legends and traditions that go with this date, and here I unpick the details and throw light on why and how they are performed..
It is my favourite date of the wheel of the year and I love the fact that it is filled with excitement and thrills. Should you want to join in, simply follow these easy steps and the path of the traditional witch.

Ginny, I consider you a spiritual-pseudo-mother to me. Even though we don't know each other, you are nurturing and teaching and supporting me in ways my own mother would not be able to. So, if your kids don't think you being a witch is interesting right now, just know that there is a student watching your videos, absolutely loving your style and finding so much value in learning from you. You are a delight, and I am so thankful for you. ❤ You can adopt me instead! (Though it might be a bit strange as I am 36, but maybe instead of mum, you could be my wise sister 😂)

I went to camp one time when I was 13. Girls tried to bully me and scare me by putting a toad in my sleeping bag. Their faces when I happily picked the toad up and let it go. 😂

Fantastic! It's about time someone told the truth of Wicca, so people can understand the reality of our customs! I'm a very old witch that comes from a very long line of witches, which I'm very proud of! I have my own coven and used to run a moot and chant group, which are all great fun (also serious!) I would like to thank you, Ginny, for doing this! )O(

Ginny...Fabulous as usual. Oh how I wish we lived in England!! Now I know why my Father always wanted a Rowan tree in front of the house. Would love to go to the festivities on Carlton Hill in Edinburgh. Here near.Philadelphia we have Morris Dancers on Belmont Plateau the morning of May 1 and Bryn Made College has quite the celebration of Bringing in the May...May pole and all !! But on Beltane I light the candles, watch the celebration in Edinburgh and very much reflect on the Old Ways. Blessed Beltane, my Lady.

May Eve might be a good day for me to connect with my spirit guide. I tried once before while trying your advice from previous videos. I couldn't concentrate so I cleared the circle and unraveled the spell. Luckily, I asked my pendulum and no repercussions would happen. But- if the veil will be thin, then I will try and meet my spirit guide. Thanks for the idea Ginny! 💛

It is definitely my favourite time of year. In Wales we call it Calan Haf which basically means the first day of Summer. My cottage garden is on the side of a mountain so I like to have a bonfire in my garden and commune with the Tylwyth Teg (The Fair Folk) XXX

77 comment you’re a delight ❤ thanks for this and it makes perfect sense as any questions (especially the loveliest: which witch?) 😂 breaks into the air sweeps away the doubts and establishes the new. Do see my vision where I had a sort of argument with Cernunnus well before I knew notta sense of him at all and now you’ve helped bring the vision full circle and made a friendship of Dave. You get Dave now! Yippee! Hugs and take care you’ve got great wit. ❤

Hi Genny, Blessed Beltane, I'm a solitary practitioner so I do have a question, you said purification ceremony would I do that first, then do the fire to communicate with the gods and goddesses as the sun comes up on the morning before Beltane???? on the 30th ?? Thank you,

As a solitary I would always do some form of purification - part of your preparations for any rituals - (and fun.)
