Meeting on Beltane

They society will reconvene in april to discuss matters around the upcoming high festival of Beltane [ wiki ] [ BBC ] .

Time and location were 1st of may in the City Arms in Earlsdon. (was arranged last minute so I had no time to update it here).

On the name Beltane: Wiki . Old gaelic or irish, meaning something like "bright fire".

On the gods: By Belenos! By Belisama!

And via paganweb:

Appropriate Deities for Beltane include all Virgin–Mother Goddesses, all Young Father Gods, all Gods and Goddesses of the Hunt, of Love, and of Fertility. Some Beltane Goddesses to mention by name here include Aphrodite, Arianrhod, Artemis, Astarte, Venus, Diana, Ariel, Var, Skadi, Shiela–na–gig, Cybele, Xochiquetzal, Freya, and Rhiannon. Beltane Gods include Apollo, Bacchus, Bel/Belanos, Cernunnos, Pan, Herne, Faunus, Cupid/Eros, Odin, Orion, Frey, Robin Goodfellow, Puck, and The Great Horned God.

On traditions etc., due to lack of time I just link to this article , which is a bit arbitrary though, since google spits out a lot..

Anyway, the next meeting will be on Satanism wiki.
