May Day

Happy Beltane to all our members! Here in England Beltane used to be celebrated on the Sunday nearest. In old times,the actual day was celebrated. Now the celebrations are on Monday which is a Bank Holiday. Oh,dear! First the Catholics stole it; then the damn politicians changed it to Labour Day.

Happy May Day and Beltane. I actually forgot it was today, for some reason I thought it was April 31 [don't ask me why] until I looked at the calender and was like 'hey genius April has 30 days'

Happy Beltane! :)

Today will be my first time celebrating. I'm going to take a walk around a few local parks and appreciate the beauty of nature all around me. Then I'm hoping to mediate beside the creeks, find some natural treasures and leave behind offerings to my Goddesses.

I'd love to spend the day with my bf, but he works from 5AM - 7PM.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Beltane. Blessings!

Nekoshema, originally the celebrations were from dusk on the 30th to dusk on the 1st of May. It wasn't a holiday as we think of it today. Holiday meant Holy Day, and early Christians were expected to attend Mass on that day. Pagans had other ideas! It was a day of "rest", meaning what we would today call "snogging"!
