Link to the Show / Show NotesI hope you’ve all had a lovely Beltane, wherever you are and however you celebrated it. This week is a bit of a continuation of Beltane. Why not? It’s one of everybody’s top three holidays, I think.
Did you Dance the Maypole as part of your Beltane celebration? Did you know that a Maypole (of sorts) was a featured part of one of our earliest periods of colonial history – back in the 17th century, in fact? Well, later on in the 19th century, writer Nathanial Hawthorne wrote a short fiction based on the facts of the Maypole and it’s colony. It appeared in a literally magazine of the time, and it’s called “The Maypole at Merrymount”. I want to share this story with you in the first part of the show.
Then in the second part of the show, some thoughts on the month of May.
I hope you enjoy the show! Questions/comments – spiraldance1@excite.com
