Festival Season is nearly here! In six more days I will waking up and packing my camping gear for, yet again, another season of festivals. In past years it's just been the camping gear and the booze that has to go into the rig, but this year I'm part of the entertainment, and there's music equipment to worry about.
But fear not, my Friend, because May Day is surreal threshold from the winter blues, to the summer events that keep us on our toes. May Day is an old Pagan tradition, a celebration of the life, and rebirth of the fertile season Spring. Braiding the May Pole ribbons in a dance with families of the community is thought to bring health and fertility to those who participate. Each person has their own reason for dancing around the May Pole. Some couples are trying to get pregnant, or they do it for the health of their own young children, some even have hopes of other health; such as cancer of any type.
This festival will mark a huge forward motion in my life. Not only is it the beginning of festival season, but this season I'm going to go experience it. Just me and my girls. The old dusty trail will lead us to the Rainbow Gathering in New Mexico to start off our journey... just four days after I graduate with my associates in journalism. To mark my victory, a comrad and myself will be writing a book, each, from our different perspectives. After the Rainbow Gathering there is no itinerary. We go where the road will lead... to the next festival.
After telling you this exciting news my friend, I feel I will have to keep this blog updated to keep you posted on the adventure. For those of you who cannot hitch hike along, I owe it to you to keep you posted. --- ~ Coming soon; May Day Fest '09 will be posted with photos on May 4, 2009!
