Beltaine Bash

Filed under: Religion — Matt Walton @ 17:46

After the highly entertaining PoliceSpecials.com social on Saturday night, which I will not really mention any further as it’s unlikely to be of any great interest to most people and also because I didn’t get any pictures of it (although I’m still not convinced Stu’s telling the truth about the amount of vodka in my vodka and coke), I slept at Tom, Marcus and Lucy’s flat which is very nice but suffers from ventilation problems. Then on Sunday morning we headed for Holborn and my first Pagan Pride parade, organised as a precursor to the 6th Annual Beltaine Bash, a rather daunting event with stalls and booksignings and things which I didn’t go to, reasoning that I should probably think about getting my train back to Nottingham, which is another long story entirely.

Imbolc

Filed under: Religion — Matt Walton @ 15:50

A delightful Sabbat is upon us today – the first breath of spring is felt at this time. This year it’s the very first breath indeed, perhaps more in the nature of wishful thinking, we’ve not been very lucky with the weather so far this year.

This is the time of year to plant seeds for future growth, a traditional time for new Witches to be initiated, for plans to be laid and wishes to be made for the coming year.
