Dear Beautiful Be-ings:
We had a wonderful May 1st, Beltane and May Pole dance on Freya Friday (yesterday). Beltane is the first day of Summer in the Old Calendar. While it is easy to see Summer in May in Phoenix and Sedona, for those of our ancestors that had cold snow-filled winters, by May the snows of Winter had gone, the Blessed' growth of Spring had provided fodder for the horses, sheep cows goats and other farm animals in the form of fresh green grass, and so it was time to let them out of their pens to graze freely, and time to give Thanks to the Lady and the Lord for their current and continuing abundance, so there was feasting, dancing and singing. People also showed their devotion by making love outdoors, since that activity was Blessed and Holy, a giving of Creation Energy to the Earth, and therefore an Offering to our Creators, and hence a form of Worship. We gave our thanks in the Valley of the Sun with yellow garland wreaths from the vines around the temple, danced the pole, sang Happy Birthday to our May Day Queen and Temple Mother Janet. WE concluded dipping our feet in the pool and sharing blessings to and from the great Mother Gaia.
In case you are wondering, this comes down to us in the modern age by making the next month, June as the Signature Month for Weddings.
IT'S TRUE! Our temple is on the move again, and we have landed in a beautiful space at the foot of Camelback Mountain, in Phoenix, just at the Paradise Valley / Phoenix city border. We prayed for parking and got blessed big time, as the neighborhood is used to cars coming and going all day long, we are near the foot of a popular hiking trail and today, Saturday, there were hundreds of cars lining the road up and down the block as far as the eye can see.
We are still limited in the number of guests we can receive so do call ahead to let us know you're on the way, we will max out at 50 members in Temple at one time. Call our EVENT HOTLINE for directions and to leave the number of guests attending in your party.
There are many special and wonderful things going on at Temple.
