Pagan May Day and Book Party: Live Music! Maypole! Books! Rituals! Fun!

May 1, 7-11 PM
5$-8$ sliding scale admission

Join RE/Search and Pagan friends to celebrate Beltane and the Modern Pagans book, with Maypole rituals, Pagan music and spirits. Music will be provided by musicians featured in Modern Pagans, including: Sharon Knight with members of Pandemonaeon, Sam Skraeling from Iowaska, Thorn Coyle, and other special guests including Sam & Tara Webster, masters of ritual.

Beltane is traditionally the celebration of the beginning of summer with a Maypole , games, fertility rites, May baskets, sacred marriages, and the selecting of a May Queen and King. The night before is called “Walpurgisnacht” when the door between the worlds is opened.

Modern Pagans is an up-to-the-minute compendium of the most cutting-edge, radical Pagan thought and theory. Compelling interviews and photographs explain why Paganism is one of the fastest growing "religions" today. Vivid characters who sparked the current revival include Oberon, who created a genuine "Living Unicorn," Morning Glory--wild, freedom-loving woman and creator/implementer of the controversial "polyamory" concept, and Starhawk, who envisioned the advanced feminist, politically activist, environmentalist Pagan movement of today. Fifty visionaries are interviewed in Modern Pagans, and we are expecting several to attend the party, and to be available for
signing books. The entire RE/Search backlist will also be available for perusal or purchase.
