Happy Beltane!

[Vermilion]

Beltane, or May Day is today, a pagan festival that marks the return of summer with the lighting of fires. Historically people have jumped over the fires, elected a May Queen and decorated their homes with boughs of May flowers.

So what part of winter do you wish to burn as summer returns?

Oh - and who wants to run off into the woods to copulate wildly?

What a great beginning to summer! 32.5 F when I left for work this morning!

The last bit sounds tempting - might get a bit wet though, it's pissing down here.

 

[Dhalgren150]

Peace be to you.

May your night of the Huntress be as you desire.

Drunkeness, and sex rule this night.

Well, if you're going to get wet anyway...

I'm in!

The real question is: how many people can you scar for life while celebrating? I already got one poor soul this morning... Poor guy may never deliver on this route again.

Happy Beltane, Comrades!

The part of winter that I'd like to burn is the dust that's accumulated on the gas grill out on my deck over the past seven months, and the pagan feast I'd like to do it at is a wine-soaked party with my friends and associates on some fine spring eve.

I'm not quite sure he was legal... LOL... And goodness only knows I wasn't at my best. Wearing nothing but a towel and sporting a mud encased, plastic wrapped beehive hairdo does that.

Course it COULD indicate a hell of a kink if he DOES come back, eh?

Don't know... They do seem to enjoy KY wrestling, though.

I didn't have to pay for it. Didn't bother me a bit.

There's ladies rasslin' here?

I want to burn my old, dull gray attitude. I want to shed my skin and become someone new.

"Hooray, hooray, the first of May, outdoor loving starts today!"

The turning of this season has made itself known in an odd reversed way in the way that Spring and Summer announce themselves in Florida.

The heat becomes unbearable and all the insects come out. Fire ants rule and I'm allergic.

I'm in a phase where all the things that were a complete breeze to grow and promote during the Fall and Winter here - my herbs, my flowers, my lawn, my attitude...

Energy goes down and confinement sets in. Winter in reverse - stare at the wilting grass instead of drifts of snow.

I have some herbs on my windowsill and I've bunched up some of my sage to dry for my smudge sticks to carry me through less abundant times.

I have to recognize my seasons are specific to where I am and who I am - when someone else might be celebrating, I need to buckle down and watch some of my favorite things wilt.

I have made huge gains during my own personal growing season - in my home, in my heart, in my thinking. Now it gets hard just to maintain those things, and my growth has some more enemies and parasites.

So for me I'm more in harvest mode already. I'm sitting on top of a pile of gains. Instead of the ever-growing gain mode, I'm going to have to relax a bit, hide from the heat and predation, and wait for the seasons to turn my way again.

The rasslin' or the skin shedding?

Thank you.

Yay!

Thank you.

I feel better now - what with things being out of joint.

Payback for the last few months everyone else got to be cold.

That's the good thing about paganism - move the festival to suit the season, not to suit the date. It's why Xmas makes no sense in Oz - Yule, however, falls on June 22nd over there. Pagan festivals make more sense to the nature of the world... imho
