## Day 1: Ash & Embers Beltane's over. The fire's out. The flower crown is wilting on your nightstand and there's wax on the floor you're going to have to deal with eventually. Now what? Here's the thing nobody tells you about sabbats: the magic doesn't end when the bonfire dies. It's *in* the ashes. **A small post-Beltane ritual:** - Don't sweep yet. Sit with the leftover. - Scoop a spoonful of ash (or the dregs of a candle, or a pressed petal from your altar) into a small jar. - Label it with the date and one word for what you asked for. - Tuck it somewhere quiet. That's your starter culture for next year's working. Ash is a record. It's the proof you showed up. Let it be evidence. *The sabbat ends. The work doesn't.* #witchcraft #beltane #paganism #green witch #witchblr
