Happy May Day!

Happy May Day!

Beltane is an important celebration around here! One of my covenmates has had a May Day celebration for years at their home. Lots of people come, and we dance a wonderful pole. It's often a little windy, and it certainly was yesterday. That didn't stop anyone.

 
We were asked to wear flower wreaths or greenman masks. I made ours from felt. I don't have many flowers in our yard, and we had nothing blooming at the right time to make a wreath from real flowers.



Of course we also leapt the bonfire... well the fire wasn't burning super high. No one needs to get burnt, especially the children. Kevin jumped a couple times!

Good food, good friends. Such a great time!
