Merry Beltane/May Day!
Also known as May Eve, May Day, and Walpurgis Night, happens at the beginning of May. It celebrates the height of Spring and the flowering of life. The Goddess manifests as the May Queen and Flora. The God emerges as the May King and Jack in the Green. The danced Maypole represents Their unity, with the pole itself being the God and the ribbons that encompass it, the Goddess. Colors are the Rainbow spectrum. Beltane is a festival of flowers, fertility, sensuality, and delight.
My youngest, Kenny, decided to wake up before the crack of dawn, so we took the opportunity to go outside and drink the morning dew, said to be blessed by the faeries. Then, later in the day, we celebrated withour dear friends Chris, Amanda, and their daughter Evie. We made a wonderful dinner of Mediterranean Tilapia with Couscous, a salad, french bread, guacamole, oranges, and then some strawberries and homemade whipped cream for dessert. It was divine indeed. We drank some Pinot Grigio, lit a bonfire (shown above), and just hung out, celebrating life, growth, fertility, and love.
