May Day Magic Beauty Tip

May Day Beauty Tip

There's great magic on the 1st of May or May Day.  The ancient Celtic people divided the year into two seasons - Winter and Summer.  May 1st was the dividing point and signaled the change from the end of the dark and dead winter weather to the beginning of the warm summer and growing season.  There was great joy and excitement that the warmer weather was officially here to stay for a whole season.  No wonder they had a celebration!

To share in some of this magic, you need to wake up early enough to collect some of the dew on the morn of May 1st ... and gently smooth it across your face.  I can attest to the truth that this beauty treatment is particularly refreshing!  

No hawthorn tree?  No worries.  An alternate verse allows you to use dew drops from any tree, bush or even the grass.
