Happy Beltane from one just entered into Samhain on the other side of the big blue ball :)

Oh, happy Samhain to you then :D

What's Beltane?

Judging from the tag, it's a Wiccan thing, but idk much about that kind of thing.

Its one of the 8 sabbaths I celebrate, each mark a change in nature - Beltane mark the beginning of summer, when fertility is high in nature and things come to life. Its usually celebrated outdoors with a fire and a may-pole

Oh neat! Bonfires are good! Fertility is good! Not really sure what a maypole is, but it sounds like a good time. Are you Wiccan? (Sorry if my terminology is off, never talked about this subject lol)

The may-pole is usually a tree that you removed the bark on and put in the ground, with ribbons tied to the top, then a person gets a ribbon each and as you move around the pole the ribbons are braided around the tree. I myself have never done this part, I just know its a common practise.
Yes, Im wiccan, I´m what they call a solitary practitioner - I always felt close to nature but never felt I needed or wanted to be part of a coven(group of ppl) to preform my spiritual beleifs.

Interesting. Tell me about your faith if you don't mind. Who do you worship? How do you worship? What are your beliefs of the afterlife?

Or better yet, it sounds like it would make an awesome steem post!

Yes, thats an excellent idea!
