I learn something new every day

In neopaganism, the name Beltane or Beltaine is used for a sabbat, one of the eight solar holidays, which is celebrated on this day. Although the holiday uses features of the Gaelic Beltane, such as the bale fire, it bears more relation to the Germanic May Day festival, both in its significance (focussing on fertility) and its rituals (such as maypole dancing). High Beltaine is celebrated through a reenactment of intercourse between the May Lord and Lady. Gerald Gardner, the principal originator of the Wiccan religion, referred to the holiday as May Eve.

In other words, NIFOCman is back!









I'd make tasteless suggestions about maypole dancing, but I'm trying to be a good man.

You would make tasteless suggestions about people dancing around an enormous phallic symbol? No. I do not believe it. *g*

Yeah. I'm the guy who had a bad graphic comparing the new Pope with Palps, so I'm destined to burn anyway.
