Beltane, Beltaine (byal-TAWN-ya), May Day, whatever you call it. To anybody who celebrates a spring/fertility holiday today, have a good one.
I'm not very religious period, but my beliefs can be concisely described as a mixture of Christianity and neopaganism. The longer but more accurate term is "following the basic teachings of Jesus but with more trees and magic exists and God is both male and female." I haven't yet found one belief system that fits right, so I just go with the flow.
This is the first year I've celebrated Beltane (largely because I keep forgetting), and my big plan for the day is to...go to the mall. Alas, preparations for a trip to Europe must come before frolicking outdoors. To top that off, it is rainy and thunderous here today, which is further prohibitive of spring-themed frolicking. But rain helps everything grow, so I can't complain.
Otherwise, it couldn't be a nicer Beltane here. Everything is in bloom, green, or both; I'm fortunate to live in a moderately wooded area. So lovely.
Any of you have Beltane plans for today?
