Today is known as Flora Day in Helston, Cornwall, England. Locals dance the Fer dance, from the old Cornish word fer, which means "rejoicing." Celebrating the abundance of bright flowers and the full return of spring, locals rejoice and formally dance four times throughout the day, circling through their village, their footsteps bringing good luck. Today, use your footsteps to cast a spell for luck, rejoicing in the beauty of spring flowers in your area. Make time for a Saturday afternoon stroll, planning a route that will take you past flowerbeds or wildflowers blooming in spring's delight. With each step you rejoice. Let your heart lift and your spirit soar as your eyes devour the colorful riot of flowers. Celebrate their beauty and uplifting energy, knowing that winter is far behind and Flora has spread her magic around, rejoicing in color and fragrance.
