Saturday, May 2, 2020 2:00 – 5pm
It’s May, It’s May, the Lusty Month of May! Welcome, welcome one and ALL
In ye olde tradition we will have a MAYPOLE DANCING, JUMPING THE CAULDRON. A VERY BARDIC BELTANE.
As we welcome Beltane/Beltaine one of our festivals as the celebration of two powers joining to bring creation, in this case, the Goddess and the God. The two forming a sacred union, from which comes creation, growth and harmony. The God, now grown, becomes enraptured with the Goddess and from their love, all of nature grows and flowers. It is a time of sensuality and sexuality, the reawakening of the earth in vivid colors, vibrant scents, fresh greenery and the sheer joy of summer after a long dormant winter.
We have A Beltane ritual, complete with songs and chants for everyone to join in on.
