I washed my face in the dew before dawn on May day morning, I was about ten years old and wearing Elizabethan costume (don’t ask) Our postman saw me walking of the mist like an apparition, he wobbled on his bike 😂 I was an very odd little girl 👧 😊

I wish I were young enough to conceive under a Hawthorne ! What a sweet thought.

I will be taking my daughter to a may day celebration in a couple of weeks, my mum and sister will be coming. It'll be my first time and we're all quite excited!! It is with our local grove of druids who hold celebrations for many of the years celebrations at our famous Beacon Hill in Leicestershire. 🌸💃💚

Happy to know that the old ways weren't completely destroyed by the Roman empire

As another poster mentioned, I also remember dancing around the maypole in California at school. I remember how the ribbons wove a design around the pole.

I’m so glad I watched this because now I understand why it’s been so busy paranormal wise around my area.

here I am posting this in the eve of May Day, the festival of fertility. Making love on may day is quite important.

I remember participating in dancing around a may pole as a child in California, but I don't remember how that came about. Either through my very neat charter school, or girl scouts. Either way, it really stuck with me as being a lovely experience. I asked my sister, and it was at school. She remembered because my teacher was named Mr. May.

my gals and i missed mayday however we did have a dinner party last eve my friends brought “tiny wishes” (intentions) we had written on tiny papers to burn in my wee cauldron they are staying in the cauldron until the full moon when i will plant a baby oak tree and place the ashes in the hole with the tree roots. happy light time!!! 🌞🌞🌞

You are delightful! Loved this. In the late 1960's, when I was in 2nd grade, we did art projects for May Day. We were taught it was about celebrating May flowers. This was in the US. I never really understood all of it until now. 😂😂

When I was in grade school in the early seventies it was tradition in the schools for the kids to pair up boy to girl and dance the maypole. It was such fun and I remember it well even though it was over 50 years ago. 😊

I wish I could remember more about the teacher that coordinated that.... There's a good chance she might have been just a little bit witchy. 😁This was in the US in the state of Oregon.. The pattern that we wove with the colored streamers was quite intricate and we practiced it, several times, before we did it in front of the school and all the parents and family that were invited to our festivities. I remember we brought the streamers down and then we untied it and laid them down with great reverence. What a wonderful memory thank you for reminding me of it.

It all sounds lovely. Hawthorne doesn't grow around here, but I'll be watching for Wild Plum blossoms.

Hi Ginny, We have almost the same celebration in Philippines called Flores de Mayo (Flowers of May) where young ladies paraded with flower decorations and beautiful gowns, it was one of the most awaited parade. It was surprising to know that this activity relates to Beltane because the Roman Catholic supported the Flores de Mayo parade. ❤😊

Brilliant Ginny.... I'm ready to partake in plenty of May Day Matchmaking.. cheers and have fun 👍

In our village of Flore, the school celebrates May Day with Maypole dancing and festivities. All my children took part when they were young. Sadly, never on May Day...usually a week or two later.

Yay!

Thank you : )

So a practioner in America in derp south where I habe to celebrate Beltane alone. No hills Im afraid and not with another person. How can I observe the holiday?

Same! I was born and raised in FL, and no one cares. I still decorate with flowers and fairies, and get up for the sunrise. After that, just make it a day of personal celebration. Buy yourself some flowers, or do yourself a May day luncheon with a delicious spring salad and spring fruits or desserts. Whatever you do, ENJOY! 💐🪷🌼🍎🍐🍇🥗🍰🍹🥂

Ginny, thank you for all you do and teach…your energy is enchanting…I have a question…if I join Patreon, will I be able to attend coven meetings from the states?

Yes you can, I do the meetings at 2pm & 5pm both British Summer Time so if you can make either of those times you can come....

Sadly no Hawthorne trees where I live..are the other trees that have the same capability?
