The other item is a small free choice, whatever pleases your partner!Suggestions would include altar or spellcasting items such as bowls, oil blends, etc. - as well as altar cloths, statues, jewellery, decorations, stationary, or more - look at previous galleries of similar swaps for ideas if you need them. Talk to your partners for suggestions and ideas.
Size requirements for this swap are 1 small candle/fire item and 1 free choice small item. About Beltane:
Beltane, or May Day occurs on May 1. It is a Sabbat celebrating the union of the Lord and Lady and fertility, summer and life. It is often marked by bonfires and dancing around a may pole. It is often considered the opposite side of the coin of Samhain, celebrating life and the richness of life rather than death. Often cattle were driven between fires to purify and bless them for the year.
