• Update on Beltaine at Misty Acres

  Looks like we are going to have a good amount of people coming out.  Awesome!Between a vet bill for a horse and a vet bill for a dog we will not be roasting a pig, but a couple of chickens, wieners and some hamburgers instead.
  For vegetarians we will have roast potatoes, carrots, and other veggies.
  And probably some rice, along with what people bring.
  I did make room in my refrigerator.
  And plumbing will be cabin in the woods style lol

  I Love the Whole World

• Chants

  Feast and Fire
  Feast and fire
  Dance and desire
  This Sacred Rite
  Our great delight
  Here we dine
  And drink May wine
  Now we toast
  Who we love most
  Green Oak King
  To him we sing
  Leaf and bud
  Stag and stud
  Sky and Earth
  Brings rebirth
  Seed of the field
  Land be healed
  Here we stand
  To bless the Land
  This our clan
  Woman and man
  Lovely lass
  Raise your glass
  The first of May
  Its time to play
  Feast and fire
  Dance and desire
  (Repeat last two lines X3)

• You Stupid Dog

  You stupid dog
   
  I will walk to the ends of the earth
  Just so you could follow me
  Dance with reverence and with mirth
  In the sprinklers of summer lawns
  I will let you eat my hamburger with cheese
  Ride in the front seat of the truck
  I will say “it’s ok” and stroke your head
  When you vomit all over my lap
  Because I love you
  You stupid dog
  I will wade through knee deep snow
  Through the dark and in the cold
  In naught but slippers and a robe
  To save you [...]

• Yes I am crazy! And other things

  We need a pagan monastery or seminary or retreat in Canada, how come all those Americans and UKers get them and we don’t? Well folks, I have the land. Come and make it yours! Yep yep. But more on that after Beltaine folks.
   
  I am crazy, crazy busy with Beltaine preparations. I spent about 3 hours yesterday up at the grove, moving rather large rocks around. I need a big strapping man or farm-hand to come help with these freaking rocks.
  Do [...]
