Many flowers to all of you!!!
Beltane:
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.
Prepare a May basket by filling it with flowers and goodwill and then
give it to someone in need of healing and caring, such as a shut-in
or elderly friend. Form a wreath of freshly picked flowers, wear it
in your hair, and feel yourself radiating joy and beauty. Dress in
bright colors. Dance the Maypole and feel yourself balancing the
Divine Female and Male within. On May Eve, bless your garden in the
old way by making love with your lover in it. Make a wish as you jump
a bonfire or candle flame for good luck. Welcome in the May at dawn
with singing and dancing.
