Beltane 2013

May 6, 2013 by admin

This past Saturday, we gathered to celebrate Beltane with fun, food and circle dancing!

 

We began our social hour with a few appetizers, wine and pink lemonade, while we finished setting up our ritual space. We had brought our ribbon windsocks, made at the air workshop a few months ago, to hang on the tree. In the tree also were decorative flowers of tissue paper. The tree would end up much more festive at ritual’s end.

 

Lighting of the ritual fire was done while singing a magickal song.

 

We honored the Lord and Lady of the Greenwood during our ritual, and offerings of berries and flowers were made. Also honored were the fair folk. Poems and the lore of Beltane were read, as well as the story of the Lord and Lady of the Greenwood. We celebrated the day with a circle dance with ribbon wands, and festooned the apple tree with ribbons. A lovely meditation focusing on being one with nature was read, and divination was done  using the cards of the Robin Wood tarot.

 

After ritual, we feasted on delicious food! Our feast included a delicious pasta salad with tomatoes and olives, scalloped potatoes, a spring salad with homemade cheese, berries and nasturtiums, spanikopita, caprese sandwiches, maypole cupcakes and brownies. Chelsea set a lovely table and by the time we sat down to eat, it was lovely, breezy and cool in the shade.

 

It was a lovely day for a May celebration!
