Wyrdlings! We’re about halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice and that means at least one thing: that this week's #WyrdWednesday theme is Beltane! Come one and all, share your spring flowers, seasonal rituals, fire festivals, ancient Celtic lore and more!

Well, Wyrdlings, that does it for today's #WyrdWednesday! We hope you enjoyed today's elixirs and concoctions (and that you will recover from them safe and sound) and so until next time...

When Cancerians go badass... #WyrdWednesday

There is thy gold, worse poison to men’s souls, Doing more murder in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell. I sell thee poison. Thou hast sold me none. ~ Romeo #WilliamShakespeare #WyrdWednesday

Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide. Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on The dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark. Here’s to my love! (drinks the poison)  ~ Romeo #WilliamShakespeare #WyrdWednesday

When life gives you lemons, do what Thor does and utterly pulverize them into a powerful, highly-fermented lemon-ale while screaming, “I AM THE GOD OF THUNDER AND DESTROYER OF TROLLS!” You’ll grow as a person in the process. #WyrdWednesday @PointsinCase pointsincase.com/articles/when-…

The #Hyades were five #nymphs who wept for their brother #Hyas until Zeus turned them into stars. They may be found in the constellation #Taurus. As the “#AprilRainers,” their rising is said to bring the spring rains — joy from sorrow, as rain is the best #elixir. #WyrdWednesday

Thanks to @RGeirsson for the last round! @PrairieBones would like to see what concoctions you brew up on today's #WyrdWednesday with our topic of Potions and Elixirs!🥂

Absinthe - or the Green Fairy - was a mildly hallucinogenic spirit laced with wormwood. By 1860, the drink was so popular in France that 5.00-6.00 pm was called 'the Green Hour'. By 1910, the French were drinking 36 million litres a year. #WyrdWednesday #folklore #history #art
