#12 Beltaine Fun!

Mental note: Don't tell anyone at a Beltaine ritual that you are expecting.

Long story short: Beltaine is a Pagan fertility blessing ritual, to bless those who are already pregnant, as well as those who wish for enhanced fertility, and to bless plant life with fruitfulness.

The Full Story:

The Beltaine gathering yesterday (5/17) was great, awesome location, great weather, the element of the East was abundant as well (very windy!) All were having a great time with wine, strawberries and chocolate dipping sauce. Don't worry, the kids had water.

Then guess who got tied to the maypole after the first part of the circle was over? Go on! Guess!

Me.

Yeah, then I get an apple cut off my head by my wife. It's good to be the king! It was a great day, fun was had by all, and I think even today I'm going to try to get out of the house because its so damn nice today again! Much blessing for Beltaine...despite it being late! Still just as fun to mark it.

By the way, say "It's good to be the king" at a gathering or somewhere, and see who laughs...

Those who don't, feel sorry for them.
