Oh, what is there to say? I accepted a spontaneous invitation to go to a Pagan festival camping ground called Brushwood Folklore. It was a great decision! I'll share some of my photos. I had two great tour guides, and plenty of time to explore. There was a giant labyrinth that I walked (ok...medium labyrinth, but still beautiful). I challenged myself to pray the entire labyrinth and did. Praying over long periods of time is difficult for me, so that was a nice and rewarding challenge.
I ran a maypole for the first time in my life. It was fun, and sortof tiring. I danced the entire time as the photos will show. A narrator talked of beginnings and wishing on what we want to nurture. It was fun.
I met up with a bunch of people I knew there, and we helped set up their camp. They rent a lot for the summer. We drank some maywine and it was truly a relaxing place. The atmosphere was positive, despite some little naysayers. It was a peaceful and good recharge. I needed this. I feel like i've been gone for a long, long time, and i'm filled with positive energy.
Happy Beltane! The fire has truly returned to the Earth.
Ahh... Beltaine at Brushwood sounds wonderful! I'd really like to hit Sirius Rising this year. Are you going? If I can get up the cash I might go for the weekend. It's always rewarding to read your posts. You lead an enriching life!
