Sabbats/Holidays and Esbats > Beltane

Any plans this year for Beltane?

<< < (5/5)

vordan:
We decided to have ours at the local state park and have a picnic with the ritual. The only problem was that it has been raining almost nonstop for over a week. We had as a backup plan renting a shelter which after calling every number associated with the park ended up being a lesson in why people make fun of government employees. Scouted out 2 of them a few days before Saturday and picked the most remote. High Priestess gets sick day of ritual but no worry we have the feast at her place so she can share it with us and then the rest of us drive out to park. Arrive at park to discover Boyscouts camping at our chosen shelter but decided to hike back into woods and have ritual figuring that while the Boyscouts might help with a fire, parents of aforementioned Scouts might be upset by pagan ritual. Hiking back into a woods where massive rains have been falling for a week proves challenging but we press on. We arrive at a beautiful wide spot overlooking the lake, have a simple ritual surrounded by the call of woodpeckers and mourning doves. It was so peaceful and beautiful everybody decided they had a wonderful time, mud and all.
