Beltane (or Roodmas or Cethsamhain or Whitsuntide) was considered to be the beginning of summer, and is a fertility festival celebrated with bonfires and dancing around the Maypole (which was once a bit more suggestively symbolic). Beltane is a time to celebrate our bodies, and the fertility of the earth. The Goddess is alive and magic is afoot!

You are welcome to come to our celebration! If you have been to Grove before, you are welcome to bring a friend. Please bring:

• a potluck dish to share (with labeled ingredients, please);
• a food-bank item;
• a towel (if you’d like to hot-tub afterwards); and
• a proper state of mind to enter the Circle.
