Happy May Day!!


The inner pagan in me can't but help celebrate certain pagan holidays, Beltane or May Day is one of them. A day when people would gather around and dance around the Maypole. Today was a day in pagan cultures of fertility.

Now of course no one really other than Wiccans (or Druids!) celebrate May Day any more...thanks to christianity. Of course most of the main christian holidays are on or pretty darn close to pagan holidays...coincidence?!

Here are a list of some pagan holidays, pay attention to the dates, they probably will seem pretty familiar...
Yule - the winter solstice, falls around the end of December
Samhain - October 31
Ostara - Spring Equinox, mid March

Yep they sound pretty familiar!

So any way, Happy Beltane!!
So embrace your inner pagan and dance around a Maypole!! :-)
