Free Beltane Printables for May Day, Walpurgis Nacht, Wiccan Sabbats

Much is known about Christian and national holidays. Many Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh and Hindu celebrations are familiar. The holidays that are least known (and ironcially some of the oldest) are pagan or wiccan. I don't practice Wicca, but as a homeschool parent and teacher, I explore different cultures. Here are free printable greeting cards, crafts, games and worksheets for pagan holidays (or sabbats). Coming up April 30 to May 1 is Beltane, also called May Day, Walpurgisnacht or Walpurgis Night. It's celebrated in Celtic, Saxon and German (Teutonic) lore. Beltane is a spring fertility rite that involves dancing around the Maypole and sexual references. Kids need to learn about world views and practices, but use discretion.  Here's  further description from Celtic Connection. This articles focuses on Imbolc, but all the resources listed have printables for other Wiccan or pagan sabbats.   Free Printable Pagan Imbolc Activities, Wiccan Sabbat Crafts 

Free Spring Coloring Pages, Crafts, Worksheets

March 20-23 marks the first day of spring in many countries. It's the vernal equinox. For those of us locked in ice and snow and cold, this date can't come too early. Many of us in the US have had a long, cold snowy winter; we are pretty happy to hear those cheery little birds singing and see tiny crocuses bravely trying to poke their lavender heads up from beneath the ice and snow. How about some free spring coloring pages to occupy those children who are getting tired of winter and students who have had enough of a school year with still many weeks to go? Fill your classrooms and homes with the colors of spring.  Free Spring Coloring Pages and Lesson Plans
