Make Ribbon wish wands

A little like the woven ribbons of the Beltane May Pole, wish wands use the same magick of entwinement to call in love, creativity, abundance, and togetherness.

Find yourself a large sturdy twig and weave ribbons coloured ribbons around it.

Experiment with different colours and thicknesses of ribbon. Have fun, play – there’s no wrong way to do this, and your wand will become what you need it to.

If you like, leave long tassels at one end, and dance with it around the Beltane fire on May 1st.
