Beltaine
I forgot to publish this Beltaine message on May 1 so as a service to my many readers, I am posting late.
Beltaine has arrived at the Bruig and, as usual we practiced the required fertility rites as prescribed by the Druids. All went well.
We started by feasting on spring pork and drinking heady coffee before retiring for a night of frenzied copulation. Tradition allows us to choose another partner(s) without shame on Beltaine but we partook of our pleasure within the bounds of matrimony.
At dawn I presented my wife with a lovely bouquet of Beltaine flowers (lillies) that I grew in our fertile flower bed. Then we feasted and fertilized until sunset when we performed the ancient animal purification ritual. (Note: we didn't purify ancient animals, just young ones and no animals were harmed during the ritual, well, fur was singed but nothing that required a vet).
At dusk, we heaped up a pair of great bonfires and herded the animals between the fires to purify the parasites from their fur. The chihuahua balked and was finally dragged between the fires with the help of a leash. Her enormous eyes bulging as she trembled in terror. Cloe, the dowager Maltese, was lured between the fires with yummy dog treats with only minor singing of her white pelt. Toby was tricked between the fires with a laser pointer, barely noticing the flames. Cat had to be tricked into a pet carrier and carried between the fires as she hissed and spat. Thus concluded the Beltaine ritual 2009.
We'll see if the fertility ritual bears fruit. Hopefully our garden, animals and my comely wife's womb will all be productive this year.
