 Beach Party Beltaine
General Thread
|
Jumping the fires at Beltaine is an ancient tradition celebrated all through Celtia, this is a blessing of the crops which assures the fertility of the land through the celebrants. Throw in a beachball and you have a party!
Ocean breezes clear away the clouds, people begin to arrive from the daytime festivities, wander to the beach for the Beltaine fires. Evening approaches and fires are seen being lit along the beach, and on hilltops near and far. Their are bonfires down on the sand. People are gathering around the fires, drums are beating. There is dancing. Laughter, as people realise that a sheeps-bladder is the volleyball. Who wants to help inflate it? Who are you going to jump the fires with? Beltaine is a fertility rite, a celebration to bless the crops, and a big party!
