I celebrate beltane from sun down on the 30th till sun up on the 1st of may. I always wash my face in the morning dew (something my mum past down). Its meant to keep your youth youthful for the next year.

I'll be honest, it knid of slipped my mind until lunch time on the 30th lol. I didn't do any big party things (which was dissapointing). I just stayed at home and did a ritual to praise the God and Goddess and wish for more love and happiness in the world. I could really feel the energy warming the space around me, it was nice. Woke up this morning and the whether was beautiful, the blossom had... well, blossomed and everything just seemed nicer than usual.

Blessed belated Beltane everyone

This year was a first for me... I have a pagan friend, so we decided to do something for the occasion. It was really nice.

We went to a druidic Beltaine celebration. A couple of friends of mine have formed a group that's sort of a consortium of other local groups... alliances of like-minded covens and groves. The rain was kind enough to stop for us and we were able to hold the ritual outside. There was feasting, belly-dancing, a maypole... it was really cool.

I went to the Druid celebration that RuneGeek was talking about.

It was one of the most spiritual, beautiful rituals I've ever been to.
Beltaine is my favorite sabbat.... and celebrating it with like minded people, who are on a different path as me, was liberating and fresh. And that, to me, is what Beltaine is all about... new and fresh.

It was awesome!
