Blessed Beltane!

It's a nice day to start again!

This week, we celebrate Beltane! Beltane is a festival of Fertility and Love as we welcome the flowering of Nature's Return. In our mythology Beltane represents the Mating of the Goddess and the God. It's The Original White Wedding!

I'll present to you my yearly reading from Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Mists of Avalon" - this is from Book One, "The Mistress of Magick", pages 176 - 179, which describes The Great Rite at Beltane.

Plus, Maypoles and The God at Beltane!

Then, after we honor our sacred sabbat of Beltane, I want to take just a little time to honor the Political May Day - the Union and Labor movement.

I hope you enjoy this week's show!

Some of the music you'll hear on this week's show include Revels: "Hal 'n Toe"; Billy Idol: "White Wedding"; Wendy Rule: "Beltane" Desert Wind: "Celebration Dance"; Loreena McKennitt: "Huron Beltane Fire Dance"; Incubus/Succubus: "Queen of the May" and more
