Hawthorn is known as the ‘May Tree’ because its fragrant blossom normally blooms in May, marking the true essence of spring, and right now they are blooming everywhere you look!
Deeply rooted in Celtic tradition, the tree is associated with the May Day and Beltane festivities.
Yesterday we celebrated Beltane at the Chalice Well in Glastonbury. We collected healing waters from the Well and the hawthorn blossoms from our garden are being infused in the sacred water under the energies of the Full Flower Moon, which was also yesterday on the same day as Beltane, making the infused water extra potent.
Once infused, we will be making Hawthorn Flower Essence, a powerful essence for settling the spirit, uplifting the heart, and supporting us if we move through heartache, grief or loss.
