Stonehenge is a unique prehistoric monument which continues to have a role as a sacred place of special religious and cultural significance for many, and inspires a strong sense of awe and humility for thousands of visitors who are drawn to the site every year. 

Cernnunos, a nature and fertility god, has appeared in a multitude of forms and made himself known by many names to nearly every culture throughout time. He is perhaps best known to us now in his Celtic aspects of the untamed Horned God of the Animals and the leaf-covered Green Man, Guardian of the Green World.

Bealtaine Inspiration:
Bring the blessings of Spring and early Summer into your home by creating a collection of seasonal objects: Spring flowers, seashells, crystals and other beautiful natural things, in honour of the god and goddess of the green world. Suitable colours are green to honour nature and the fairies, or red and white, to represent respectively the feminine and the masculine. Two candles of red and white, for example, can be lit in a prominent position to honour the sacred union of the god and goddess at this time. 

Recommended Book:
In The Mist-Filled Path, Frank MacEowen, a preeminent teacher of Celtic spirituality, shows how embracing the indigenous wisdom of Scotland and Ireland can lead to healing and transcendence. Using his own travels and teachings along with Celtic stories and myths, he explores ancient traditions, eco-psychology, the ancient mother, altars and hearths, Oran Mor (the Great Song), contemplation, and mysticism. The book tells how to draw on ancestral roots to find a personal spirituality that also works for the greater good.

Celtic Living for the 21st Century: 
The golden rule for your domestic recycling is that everything should be clean, and dry. It can help to think in terms of three categories: rigid plastics, tins and cans, and paper and cardboard. Rigid plastics include plastic drink bottles, milk cartons and cosmetic containers. Tins and cans that contained foodstuffs/drinks also need to be cleaned and dried. Paper and cardboard, includes things such as newspapers, toilet and kitchen roll inserts as well as cardboard tetra pak drink containers. Glass shouldn't be put in a recycling bin but brought to bottle banks, although plastic and metal lids of bottles can go in. Disposable coffee cups, plastic bags, pizza boxes, refuse sacks, soft plastics and paper towels/napkins should go in your normal waste.
