Please plan to arrive at the Hall/Sanctuary around NOON 12:00pm. The Beltane Ritual will begin around 12:30pm on Sunday April 28th. We are starting early because a traditional Covenant of the River Beltane Ritual includes many things, including breaks between the sections and including the “will we ever get the ring on the pole” time! Plan to walk through the Bel Fires with the community and to Bless the Plow with blessings upon the land and for the beings of the land including the Fae! The pole will be erected, the ring eventually set up on the top after much fun tossing it and the OVER UNDER winding of the ribbons will make us all smile and laugh and remember how great it is to celebrate spring with so many like minded people.
A potluck is planned for around 4:00 put the timing of Beltane is always Fae Standard Time, so we get there when we do. Please bring something to share if you can but still, plan to eat even if you can’t bring something.
This event is open to all ages and to the general public. If you are curious about Covenant of the River or what a Maypole is like we welcome you to celebrate with us.
Ritual garb encouraged but not required, just something that makes the time seem more sacred to YOU! Clothing, cloak, jewelry, staff, athame, head wreath, bells, face paint, etc.
