Ren-Ready Fae Folk

Renaissance fairing and festivaling is upon us and so many of our FAE members are readying their wares and stocking tents and stalls, practicing the permanent smile and brushing up on a country dance step or two.

Here is but a small sampling, a little flair and flavor from the FAE.

Hooray for May Day!

Frivolity and celebration, bonfires and Maypoles, music and laughter- welcome May! In many traditions, the first of May (or thereso abouts) heralds the first day of summer and the sun is honored with fire! And passion! And well, other stuffs that go along with those things. Beltane is the name of the Celtic holiday with a long and hearty history. A few of the FAE team folks seem to appreciate this auspicious day:

So take your fae selves out into the garden and collect the first dew of the day, sprinkle it about yourself for a dose of faerie beauty. You made need an extra dash if you've been out in the woods all night a-maying and carrying on.
