beltane festivities

Some fuel for the fire - foreign propaganda ...

One Beltane tradition is to have two bonfires that you walk between. This is for fertility. These two were a little too close together!

Our own little rerunning of the Wicker Man! They burned really well.

A first for Hartcliffe? About to jump the fire ...

typical christians

Carrington and Keable, both dressed all in white with their hair tied up with white hairbands, sat grinning at each other as the verdicts were announced by the jury foreman. During the trial the court heard that Keable, originally from Macedonia, had brainwashed Carrington to join her in beating the youngsters at a house in Ramsgate. Robin Johnson, prosecuting, said the victims were forced to sit up until midnight listening to lectures from Keable. They were then woken at 5am every day, made to say prayers and read scripture, before doing hours of housework. If they did not do their "chores" quickly enough and to a high standard they were punished. Carrington and Keable, who also attended Mormon churches in Deal and Caterbury, would even feed chillies to the youngest victim, a two-year-old baby, if she would not eat.
