Beltane

Just a short post today. Its nearly Beltane on Monday, no bank holiday this year until next week. The weather is cold and dull but it won't put a damper on my ritual on Monday. I've nearly finished the ovate grade so I'll be doing the closing ceremony then. Can't wait to see what the druid grade holds for me, although I'll be sad to finish the course. In the meantime I'll just raise my glass for Beltane

Easter

Also known as Oestre or Ostara this is a special festival as far as I am concerned. Then again aren't they all? I think its special to me as it is the true beginning of spring. The birds are nesting and the Land is becoming more fertile by the minute. Next thing we know and it will be Beltaine , my favourite festival.

Still no Easter egg hunt this year, at 19 and 14 the children are too old to do it anymore. That's old as in mature , or so they tell me. In their minds perhaps, but to me they will always be children.

And Persephone has returned from the underworld, well she's back for Easter with her head full of essays and a bag full of laundry
