5. Is there a post?

I used to present pagan services at my UU Fellowship. Unitarian Universalists formally recognize paganism as a legit spiritual path. I believe UU is the only "mainstream" religion in the US that does:

The Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS) is an independent group of Unitarian Universalists (UUs) who follow the teachings of contemporary or classical Paganism.

7. Wonderful! I led some pagan services and Maypole dances at a UU congregation too

This is just a generic Maypole pic I found online.

8. Yesterday was niyad's birthday and our posts were around midnight..

If you go to My DU, you could find her and contact her. My apologies as I’m not at all good with re posting or even posting pictures so I’m no help that way. She’s celebrating Beltaine, too

2. And a happy dance around the May Pole to you.

You made me curious, so I read some.

While my Maypole-dancing days are pretty much over, I still can celebrate1

4. Make merry!

In 1960, in first grade in a Connecticut public school, we danced around the maypole! I wonder if kids get to do that somewhere nowadays. Thank you for the good wishes!

6. We did that in NJ too

There was a permanent tall metal pole on the playground. It had a number of chains attached to the top. Once a year they let down the chains and attached ribbons.

I remember learning a Danish folk dance in first grade for the May Day celebration in 1958.
