Put the pole in the hole!

Today was Beltaine, and it came to me and Bard to run ritual for the Minoan Temple folks. Now, for the last many years, the people who run this have done vague tame sorts of things having to do with Welsh mythology inexplicably combined with a poorly danced Maypole. Not this year! We combined kissing and not-at-all-subtle sexual innuendo with a poorly danced Maypole!

Rhys dug in the dirt for the first half of the ritual, and did the wiggly "Hey, I'm turning up the volume on the boombox to high, and Mom isn't stopping me!" happy Mayday dance for most of the rest of it. Perfect.

Beltaine's really not just for the straight kids, of course. Some people really appreciated some of the opening comments I put together for the event, so I thought I'd share them with you as well.
