Coltsfoot

Coltsfoot has a long history of use in traditional medicine and folklore, often associated with springtime and renewal. Here's how it might be incorporated into rituals for Imbolc, Ostara, and Beltane:

Imbolc (February 1st/2nd):

• Healing: Imbolc celebrates the return of the light and the burgeoning of life. Coltsfoot, known for its respiratory benefits, can be used to create a healing tea or tincture. This can be offered to the deities associated with healing (such as Brigid) or used in a ritual to promote overall health and well-being.
• Purification: Burn dried Coltsfoot leaves to purify the air and create a sacred space. This can be done as part of a ritual cleansing before beginning other Imbolc observances.

Ostara (March 20th/21st):

• Love and Fertility: Ostara is a time of new beginnings and burgeoning life. Coltsfoot can be incorporated into a love spell or ritual to attract new love or strengthen existing relationships.
• Divination: Use Coltsfoot leaves for scrying or other forms of divination. The shape and patterns of the leaves can offer insights into the future or provide guidance on personal matters.

Beltane (April 30th/May 1st):

• Tranquility and Peace: Beltane is a time of passion and celebration. Coltsfoot can be used to create a calming tea or infusion to help balance the energies and promote a sense of peace amidst the excitement.
• Money Spells: Some believe that Coltsfoot can bring good fortune and abundance. Incorporate Coltsfoot leaves into a money spell or ritual to attract prosperity and financial success.
