Beltane blessings, my friends! I know I am late with the greeting, but the season extends well into May as far as I’m concerned. Beltane is about new beginnings, new life and vibrancy.
Belated Beltane Blessings!
I took my daughters and their friend, along with grandparents and the dog, to a local Wakes at the weekend. It was basically a village fete, with a fun dog show (we didn’t win), funfair rides, games, jumble sales, a duck race on the river, and the Maypole. We loved watching a group of local school children perform the Maypole dance, twisting the colourful ribbons around and about.
Later in May it will be our town celebrating as we have our local Rose Fete. My daughters will join the parade with their dance school, perform in the arena, and enjoy the funfair and stalls. This is a beautiful, colourful time of year!

May is my favourite month. Last year when I and a friend celebrated Beltane, we asked Mother Earth to grant us a long, hot summer – and She did! I hope She is as generous this year.
I could do without the summer heatwave this time around!
Yes, it was a bit extreme! I did enjoy the swimming, though. I suppose it was more bearable for those of us who live on the coast.
