On the 3rd of May me and Queen of Hearts have decided to go to Beltane Festival in Edinburgh! Anyone interested should definitely come along, it will be fun.

All thoughts are welcome, especially as how to dress and what its like

we are going not want to go lol

You can wear whatever you like. Whatever you feel most comfortable in.

A few pictures of 2008 Edinburgh Beltane festival

dont be thinking im wearing anything skimpy like some of them are lol

Out of curiousity but what is it exactly?? It looks to me like some sacrificial ritual or something :/

Its to celebrate the 1st official day of summer, and it represents fertility - the Celts (Druids) used to sacrifice animals and humans - criminals and POW's - to the gods to ensure good crops and stuff for the summer to come, but that was a long time ago, so no sacrifices now!
So, its just to celebrate the start of Summer and fertility! lol

I'm probs a bit off, I'm not that schooled up on it yet

Ok, and why do you want to do these things??

Because I'm growing as a person

It looks like fun, and I want to experience it, plus its in Scotland, so thats fun. Also, I'm learning to be a Pagan, and what better way than to celebrate the turning of the season

okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

im excited
