Peter the Druid, Dawn Hunt, and Lexa gave workshops for the adults.
Nancy Venus taught us something new too.
Did you know why there are so many June brides?
Because they all get pregnant during the fertility rites of May!!!
The faires dance and bless and cleanse us
with the four elements.
when the sun is in Taurus...
it is best to use a BULL horn to cast the circle
Lady Venus (Nancy) calls Lady Venus (Lexa)
to bless the circle with the element of air.
Mmm smells sweet...
the Spiral Dance begins
The May Queen and King are chosen
the Lord of the MayPole has a look of serenity.
There were many hunky Pans in the woods this Beltane

Lexa,
I was wondering about getting a tattoo. But my mom has an issue with me if I get a tattoo. I have been thinking about getting a tattoo of my astrological chart on my left side. What do u think about tattoos? I would really like to know your opinion.
Hi A
thanks for your question. You are probably going to be disappointed to find out that I agree with your Mom! Why get a tatoo? And of all things, your astro chart? Seems kind of redundant. You already are your chart and so much more! I say this because your chart progresses and moves as you grow and change, so untimately, the birth chart is only a reflection of your history and not of your development.
I know that many pagans consider tatooing sacred and it is a big part of many ancient initiation rites. I have a differing opinion. In my eyes, the body is our sacred temple and a tattoo is a desecration of that sacred space. I also had a friend who died from ink poisoning and an infection resulting from a tattoo. So PLEASE BE CAREFUL and choose a safe and licensed person to give you a tattoo if you decide to do it. But my advice is to listen to the wisdom of your mother!
blessed be
Lexa
