It be a joyful moment when the great
\nWheel of the year
\nComes around to Beltane
\nWhen the fire of life brings cheer
\nThe maypole it be phallic
\nRaising it off the green
\nDeck it with flowers and wonderment
\nAnd abundance from the lean<\/p>\n
A coming together of sun and earth
\nWhere creation sweeps away
\nThe angle of loves tangle
\nOn any given day
\nThe fires would smoulder skywards
\nThe cattle maybe they
\nWould be driven through the herb smoke
\nTo drive the tics away
\nSongs would be sung and how we would dance
\nAround the maypole gleefully
\nBeing as positive as we could
\nSharing its true vitality<\/p>\n
First two verses read by Claudia<\/p>\n
Look around and interact
\nWith the natural gifts
\nKnow how they are packed
\nTogether
\ntrees and herbs and flowers
\nHealing forces with subtle powers<\/p>\n
The ancestors lived, their lives were long
\nThe country folk were ever strong
\nPlants and animals were their friends
\nTheir Communication kind of sends
\nA message to us how we can go
\nBack in time,
\nand so follow
\nThe ancient wisdom for it is there. TINA
\nFor all of us its there to share<\/p>\n
The trees create our vital breath
\nWe in turn assist them too
\nWhat we expel the trees take on
\nTheir stature and their Peace ensue

\nA symbol of Power and victory
\nThe mighty oak we all agree
\nHas powers of such longevity<\/p>\n
The Birch (Betula Pendula)
\nLady of the woods they say
\nColeridge had described them such
\nWatch them dance and watch them sway
\nThrusting early leaves of green
\nInto forests that have been
\nBare and wintry dark and cold
\nOn their silver bark I am sold………….rex<\/p>\n
The Hawthorn (Crataegus)
\nSpirited soul
\nBursts with blossoms takes on its role
\nBeltane’s beacon magically
\nHighly scented and snowy white

The ROWAN (Sorbus Aucaparia)
\nThe portal tree, the threshold to
\nthe underworld and here
\nWith apotropaic powers tis said
\nIf its witches that thee fear
\nA dense wood good for carving
\nAnd berries birds admire
\nIt was known as the wicken tree
\nWith its truly inner fire
\nTis said the devil hung his mother
\nOn a Rowan tree
\nBeltane brings them into mind
\nAnd reminds us constantly. Claudia<\/p>\n
The druids and their thinking power
\nTheir understanding of each hour
\nTheir inspiration and readiness
\nAnd gumption relieving inner stress
\nEnlightened in so many ways
\nTo the magic around us
\nFor as it plays
\na significant role
\nIn our daily chore
\nObservation
\nWe must explore<\/p>\n
We must stop exhausting the supplies out there
\nLearn to communicate
\nLearn to care
\nThe magical herbs
\nThat already are
\nSharing their force fields
\nWith each star<\/p>\n
Lemon Balm Melissa she
\nIs a great cleanser effectively
\nA sedative in many ways
\nBut uplifts the soul and really plays
\nInhale her scent and feel her power
\nTo clear the blockages in the now<\/p>\n
Mint or Mentha will arouse
\nThe conscious mind and all we see
\nIs negativity temporarily
\nFeeling that here it has no place to be<\/p>\n
Dill (Anethum Graveolens)
\nPurification no one can
\nSmell its scent for it began
\nAlready to clear the mind and head
\nAnd is a cure of hicpps its been said<\/p>\n
Mugwort (artemesia vulgaris)
\nAwareness of psychic force
\nAwakens the deepest consciousness

\nWill follow and you will be
\nFlying through the cosmos
\nPossibly with me. Rex<\/p>\n
Forsythia the golden boughs
\nExpressions of the sun
\nIts all about anticipation. Tina
\nWhen the day is done<\/p>\n
Dandelions the north west corner
\nOf your property, plant them there. Claudia
\nAnd energy will be with you
\nConstantly<\/p>\n
Crocus enhances our visions
\nBringing intuitive dreams. Tina
\nAnd New love in the offing
\nSubliminally it seems<\/p>\n
Tulips for Prosperity
\nIn love magic they are. Claudia
\nPurposeful and helpful
\nThey can be your star<\/p>\n
Violets bring you inner peace
\nAnd true tranquility
\nNight time magic can be had. Tina
\nBy carrying leaves they be<\/p>\n
Out there in their glorious states
\nOffering their all
\nThe Dandelions can heal the head
\nAnd bones hear them, when they call
\nSit with them and talk to them
\nExplain to them you are ill
\nAnd need their help to recover
\nAnd you will see they will<\/p>\n
But if you dig them up or pull
\nTheir flowers about alas
\nAll their healing qualities
\nWill be lost in a morass
\nOf what you have created
\nA place of negativity
\nAnd in that role no healing plant
\nCan ever help you tragically<\/p>\n
Our Beltane play is over
\nThe bright fire all can see
\nWe thank you that you listened
\nAnd caught our chance to be
\nAll of us together
\nIn this circle in this wheel
\nHalf way between the SPring Equinox
\nAnd the Summer solstice <\/p>\n
Real
\nfertility is called upon
\nThe seeds will come to be
\nTransforming all those wondrous thoughts
\nInto BELTANE energy
\nCan you all now feel it
\nSoon its power you will see
\nBreaking through the earth again. Rex
\nIn its wish to be with thee.<\/p>\n
