Oh do not tell the priest our plight, for he would call it a sin,
But we've been out in the woods all night a-conjuring summer in;
And we bring good news by word of mouth, for women and cattle and corn,
For now is the sun come up from the South by Oak and Ash and Thorn.1
Welcome to Bealtaine (May Day)! An ancient Celtic festival of transition, purification, and renewal. Go drink mead and wine. Go dance around the bonfire. Go celebrate life.
1Rudyard Kipling, Oak and Ash and Thorn.
