Beltane greetings

[al**bear]

Already been out to wash my face in the Dew

well in my case the Frost

[margaret*e]

Not sure if this will open where I to.

It didn't.

Happy Beltane.

[cee-dee]

May the First be with you.

[Anonymous]

Hilltop fires glowing bright
Calling in the Beltane Night.
Gleeful youths, barefoot tread
Along the paths the ancients led
Laughing, singing, loving free
They land beneath the Elder Trees
The Fae look on, then join the sight
Dancing gaily through the night.
King and Queen, young and old
None left standing in the cold
Rich or poor, all join the frey
Bringing in the Beltane Day.

Thank you Harry.....Blessed Be!

What is it about Pagans and Fire?  Whatever it is I wish them well.

Can't compete with that Poem Harry The only thing I can think of to rhyme with Beltane is Insane

Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane
Wear your hair long, babe you can't go wrong

Its a celebration.

April showers have given way to to rich and fertile earth, and as the land greens, there are few celebrations as representative of fertility as Belthane.  Observed on May 1st (or October 31 - November 1 for our Southern Hemisphere readers), festivities typical begin the evening before, on the last night of April.

It's time to welcome the abundance of the fertile earth, and a day that has a long (and sometimes scandalous, as some may have seen in the film Wicker Man) history . Depending on your tradition, there are a number of ways you can celebrate this Sabbat. First, you might want to read up on:  Beltane History.

Happy Beltane to those who celebrate it.  And maybe a chance for me to offer my poetry choice later  . Don't get to exited though.  I cant promise.
