when Planning a Beltane Sabbat, one must remember that this time celebrates a number of events:
The Goddess has discovered that She is pregnant,
The Horned God and Goddess marry,
Spring is here in all it’s glory.

Thus the themes for this Sabbat include the Divine Handfasting, fertility, love and sex and, of curse, Spring! In other words, Party on Dude!

Thus we are faced with a problem on how to best celebrate these events?
Obviously the Maypole Dance and love Chase are a given as is jumping the Bonfire for purification. But if we allow our imaginations to run into those dark alleys of our minds that we are afraid they exist to admit to our spouse, we can have fun!
These ideas are some that have been mentioned, usually after too much wine, and so not all are workable but consider what would happen if we included some in our celebrations (note: if you do, send pictures).

For the Cakes and Wine feast we may consider:

  1. Genitalia shaped chocolate
    (too obvious?)
  2. Chocolate covered strawberries
  3. Finger foods like carrots, pickles, decorated deviled eggs, grapes
    (you can tell your spouse “I was graped at Beltane”)
  4. Wine, mead, champagne
  5. Sparkling cider
    (for non-drinkers)
  6. Godiva chocolate
  7. A seven tier chocolate wedding cake with the Horned God & Triple Goddess doing the GR on top
    (since She is the Triple Goddess and He an Ithyphallic God, the artistic possibilities are endless) Or as one HPS said, a single Mother Goddess with a Dual Horned God.
  8. Chocolate pretzels in the shapes of “O” and “I”
  9. Mini-cream puffs (Belgian)
    (fun to feed each other and also to stick one's tongue in the hole and suck out the cream and feel it trickle across the tongue)
  10. Dates that have been de-pitted and get the squeeze cream cheese and squeeze it into the slit. Encourage each other to lick the other's fingers and to feed each other

And for games to be played: (details for any of these given upon request and proof of age and maybe even Initiation)

  1. Maypole Dance
    (do this wrong and your really screw up your sex life for the next year)
  2. Love Chase
    (The HPS tosses a scarf to a woman who dances around the Circle flirting with the men. When she chooses one, she entices him and as he chases her, she runs and the other women try to divert his attention. If he can ignore the other women and catch the woman with the scarf, she rewards him in whatever manner she chooses)
  3. Spin the bottle
  4. Twister
    (when skyclad, consider lots of Wesson oil)
  5. Candle Game
    (the Beltane version is for the holder to stand in the center of the Circle and do whatever the blower asks)
  6. Slice oranges, eat the center and play ring toss with the HP and other men as the pole
    (don’t make me describe this one. It was embarrassing when the HPS invented it.)
  7. Blow jobs
    (not that kind! Four women, preferably skyclad, hold down a man, preferably skyclad by hands and feet as the HPS fills his belly button with Kahlua and tops it with whipped cream. Then a woman chosen at random gets to suck the mess from his navel. Then that woman is held down and her navel is sucked by a man chosen at random. Do it once and you’ll see why it takes four people to hold them down)
  8. Watching Vivid’s The Coven and trying to figure out which blonde is Janine
  9. Singing songs of love, sex and general fun.
    (leave the karaoke machine home)
  10. pin the generative organ on the Green Man
  11. a maypole cake with a phallic pole(lying horizontal). Have ribbons emerging from the end, and a sprig of blooming hawthorn stuck right into the tip, with the blossoms looking very good for a shower of fertilising seed!
    fill with a mix of soft cheese (rather than butter icing) which meltes in a very realistic way and had to be licked off hands etc.
  12. The women go out in the woods and find a maypole (actually that's done ahead of time and a play search is undertaken) and carry it back, the men get it into the hole, the ribbons are tied to a ring and the maiden is hoisted up by the men to get the ring attached to the top of the pole.
  13. A gigantic oblong cruller is needed, something like 11 yards long, and a matching large donut with an opening large enough for the cruller to fit snugly. The HPS with the women gather at one end of a street or field upraising the donut, the HP with the men at the other end holding the cruller. The HPS and HP loudly proclaim: "As the cruller is to the male, so the donut is to the female!" and they all race towards each other while giving ecstatic cries, the cruller swiftly and surely penetrating the donut, at which point everyone collapses in a big heap.

    As you can see, this Sabbat is for adults only and I refuse to be responsible for any and all consequences… Though if you try any, please send me a video tape so I can see how they work out.
