Following up on my last post about Britain’s May Day traditions, Losing the Plot–or at least its writer, whose name I don’t know yet–just sent me a link to a post on the Irish Beltane tradition and what you need to do if you hope to keep the Butter Witch from your door. For the sake of safety, I suggest you read it before next May 1. Or now, whichever comes first.

Thank you. For a miinute there I thought–oh, who’s the little green Jedi? His name’s gotten away from me, but I thought he was writing to me and I wondered if I needed to defend Sonia from an unkind accusation. Which, oddly enough, allowed me to put the message together correctly.
And after that excursion into the strange mind of Ellen Hawley, we’ll end this comment.
