Beltane Crown

At Beltane celebrations and rituals, male and female witches should
wear crowns,(Green is the color for robes if worn too.)
The men have a oak leaf crown and ladies a floral head garland.
but, a simple design of the chaplet(twinning ivy twisted together to
form the base ring) can just be worn.
These crowns, which take about an hour to make, are made both the
same way….
First, you make the base chaplet of ivy ,or, males can use
honeysuckle including the flower. then, select the flowers or the
oak leaves you wish to use…(hawthorn or white may flowers are
traditional if you are making your garland just before wearing, as
they will not keep. otherwise, use any white flowers or include
color. Keep in fridge when made and spray with water to keep fresh.
(Oak leaves if rare can be replaced with any tree leaf assosiated to
the god such as ash.)
Remove any thorns from stems and trim, then tie into small posies of
flowers or leaves, use green gardening twine.
Starting at the front of your headress begin to tie your posies in
place useing the best looking bunches first or a special arrangment.
work backwards cover the stems with the next bunch of posy heads,
this way it will hide all stems and string when finished, continue
till back to the front tidy and re-arange for a finished look .
After the rites and celebrations leave the crowns as offerings in
the woods.
