The Grove is Ready for Beltane

Rorn: chews on Talia's hair wreath
Fitheach Eun: Welcome everyone.
Fitheach Eun: Tonight, we light the fires of Beltane; the celebration of new life and new growth.
Fiesty Lotus: Beltane is here!
Fiesty Lotus: It is a time when the earth is fertile and full.
Talia.Sunsong: Time for wild pagan dancing
Fiesty Lotus grins at Talia
Fiesty Lotus: Since long ago, we have planted our fields at Beltane.
The fields that lay fallow for months are now warm and waiting..

Druid Fiesty

Fiesty Lotus: The soil that was dormant for the winter now begs us to plant our seeds.
Fiesty Lotus: The earth is awakening and ripe, and this is a season of love and passion.
Fiesty Lotus: It is a season of fire.
Fitheach Eun: As our fires grow, lighting up the night sky, the fire within us grows stronger.
Fitheach Eun: It is the fire of lust and passion, knowing that like the earth, we too are fertile.
Fitheach Eun: Tonight, the lord of fire and light emerges from the forest. He is known by many names -
Fitheach Eun: he is Pan, Herne, Cernunnos, the Green Man, Helios, Apollo.
Fitheach Eun: He is one with the sun and the forest.
Fitheach Eun: Tonight is the night he will chase and capture the maiden, the mother.

Druid Fitheach

Fitheach Eun: She is the Queen of the May, Hera, Juno, Cerridwen, Danu, Brighid.
Fitheach Eun: She is the goddess of fertility, fields and flowers, she is mother earth herself.
Fiesty Lotus: We call on the elements to join our celebration of life.
Fiesty Lotus: Bring fertility to the land! Let the hunt begin!
Fiesty Lotus: Fire and passion, love and life, brought together as one.
Fiesty Lotus: She is the earth, the womb of all creation.
Within her, new life grows each year.
Fiesty Lotus: Water is her blood, air her breath, and fire is her spirit
Fitheach Eun: The lord of the forest gives her honor, and creates new life within her.
Fitheach Eun: He is the rutting stag, the seed, the energy of life.
Fitheach Eun: He is the mighty oak that grows in the forest; the fire of the waxing sun.
Fiesty Lotus: We welcome all the elements to our celebration of new life. We honor you, bringers of new life!
Fiesty Lotus: We raise the maypole in your honor to signify the beginning of growth.

Fae Talia 

Talia.Sunsong: Welcome!
Fitheach Eun: Does anyone present wish to contribute anything?
Talia.Sunsong: May Beltane bring us energy and spirit
Fiesty Lotus nods
Fiesty Lotus: The earth is once more growing new life within! May we be blessed with abundance this year!
Fiesty Lotus: The circle is broken, the rite is ended. Let us dance around the maypole and the fire of Beltane and celebrate all the new lives growing.

Fiesty Lotus smiles and grabs a cup of wine
Fitheach Eun puts down her staff and gets a goblet for herself
Talia.Sunsong: do we have a maypole?
Fitheach Eun: we do
Fitheach Eun: Come let us celebrate
Rorn: flies around the Maypole instead of dancing
Talia.Sunsong: yay it's pretty
Talia.Sunsong: dances with wild Fae May day abandon
Rorn: lands on the top of the Maypole
