I remember us dancing around the Maypole in school. 😄

We did this dance at my elementary school, every year on May 1st. Of course it was in the 60's!

Isn't the Maypole a modern day remnant of the ancient Asherah pole referenced in the Bible as a symbol representing a female deity known as the goddess of happiness and fortune. The women danced around this pole thinking that it would grant them enhanced fertility.

@@marcomartins3563 I think you are right about that but it is probably difficult to document. What is interesting to me is that the streamers that dancers wrap around the pole form a helical shape much like the DNA molecule. This was before the shape of DNA molecule was ever discovered. During fertilization the molecule unwinds and genetic information is shared between the egg and sperm. So the symbolism is accurate as the dancers wind and unwind the streamers from the May Pole.

Dominic the Bible says where all the other gods came and that they where the fallen sons of the Most High God. They rebelled. In fact there’s 3 rebellions in the Bible from sons of God. The God of the Bible is the creator of everything including the other gods. So no those horned pagan god getting ribbons around it’s shaft do not predate the narrative of the Bible. Thay are all apart of it. So dancing around the shaft of a god in a fertility ritual is satanic because all the other gods are in rebellion with Satan the god of this world from the creator.
