Dear Kim and Stacy, thanks for your positive comments. Joyful Beltane to you both. Oh, how I wish people could celebrate this season with the old ways ... maybe someday soon. In the meantime, may She bless and shine her loving light upon you both.
How fun! Happy May Day to you as well!
We have nothing like that in Italy, for what I know. I Love all old traditions.
...Wonderful! I'm glad today we celebrate labour day, so happy may day to all of you! Instead, as ancient rural tradition, in my homeland the first of may we used to burn a giant puppet representing winter, with people all around in a huge circle. I did it once, and it was a great show :D
Thanks Kat ... happiness always.
Simona, thanks for your comments. You should check out Elettarossa's comment. She's from Italy as well.
Elettrarossa, thanks for your interesting and informative comment. I do believe the ancients celebrated this day is similar ways. Makes you think.
Happiness to all of you.
Oh that is so cool! I watched it with my 6-year-old and we both enjoyed it, thank you and happy May Day to you! xoxo
Wishing you a very happy belated May day and thank you so much for sharing that enchanting video of the splendor of the maypole dance. Hugs, Mina
Mina and Kristin, thanks for your heart warming comments. I am so glad you shared this with your 6 year old Kristin. Oh how I hope that some of these enchanting customs do make their way back into our society.

What a lovely blog and lovely images.
The children put up a maypole and dance at my daughter's primary school.
They get into a terrible tangle sometimes. Is's lovely to watch!
Fabulous post!!! Shine on kindred! Blessings of May and Beltane!!

Thanks Cherie for your comments. Where are you located??? I was wondering if anywhere in these United States this is still done. I have a memory of dancing around the Maypole ... but I'm not really sure what life's memory it is from.
And, Victoria, oh shine on also dear spirit sister. Beltane is a glorious time of the year isn't it.
Happiness to you both !
