Hear ye! Hear ye!

It is with great excitement that we announce our newest contest:

BELTAINE: THE FIRES OF SPRING CONTEST ( alternatively, "Lick the Maypole")

Flickering firelight. Hearty conversation over mugs of mead. Blossoming flowers and whispers of the summer ahead. Warm, thawing winds help us shed the frost of winter.
The hum of new life and the synchronicity of drum cadence and heartbeat; we begin our dance of passion.

Beltaine is quickly approaching!

Pagans, come together and breathe life into a Beltaine themed creation. How do you celebrate Beltaine?
What inspires you? Join us in our dance of rebirth and celebration! (But keep your deviations within dA allowable content :lol: )

Well, abstract art is really the absence of a recognizable image or theme but if it's Beltaine-inspired go ahead and submit it, sure.
