Riverside Park/Beltane!

This is what our Beltane Ceremony in Riverside Park was like....
Lori spotted a beautiful tree full of pink blossom with a blanket of its own petals spread out underneath it. As directed in my morning shamanic journey, we placed offerings at the base of the tree in honor of Pan and the Faery Kingdom, who love the Goddess and build nature. We cast the circle and did the Invocation of the Goddess, then we called in the 6 directions, followed by drumming and rattling and dancing around the tree. When we were "done", we closed the circle with a closing prayer of gratitude and we prayed for the women, our sisters across planet earth, to be free and to be respected by men, including all their male partners. It was beautiful! And then Christie climbed the tree, while Rina danced in a breathtakingly gentle and beautiful way, until she laid down in the pink flower petals and revealed her Faery Nature! I am grateful to Marina, Christie, Debra, Lori & Rina for being present for this fantastic ceremony. All Hail to them, and to the Great Powers of the Goddess, of Nature, of Pan and of the Faery Kingdom!
