It was originally made of sacred wood and revelers danced around it holding onto decorated ropes tethered to the top. It has now evolved into a great work made of brass and is a must-have at all fine gentlemen's clubs worldwide.

Its the forest and orgy one, i celebrated it with mekong whiskey and muscle wine, while screaming at cambodian tuk-tuk drivers over there inability to understand the finer point of scottish national dress, I'm not a lady-boy but a scotsman in a kilt.

Even had ourselves woven into the Maypole. No one had ever seen a ceremony/ritual quite like ours (especially our parents). It included an exploding firepot, Chaos Demons, and, of course, the Maypole. :D

That's great. Was that after a year and a day of handfasting? I trust you cleared the broom OK. Beltane is a great time of year.
