Annie Finch

Home for Beltane!

logo of my original American Witch blog, from a book of William Blake prints given to me by my father

 

The original American Witch blog began on Yule 2010 over at blogspot.  Then it moved briefly to Tumblr, but in the process I lost a lot of my old followers.  Some readers have asked me to please bring the original blog back, and I miss it too–we had a very nice community there and I want to keep it going. So, just in time for Beltane, I’ve finally created a suitable home for American Witch on my new website.

I hope old readers and new will enjoy it here and also browse around other parts of the website.  You can Subscribe to the site’s RSS feed which will tell you when a new post is up; soon you may also be able to subscribe to a quarterly newsletter of poems, news, and witchy inspirations.

But for now, I want to bless the new blogspace with a little chant for Beltane.  You can recite it alone, but it’s especially fun to do it with alternating voices:

May is here, come around,

    find a place on the ground.

Find a place on the ground,

    and the flowers rain down,

and the flowers rain down,

    We are gorgeous today,

We are gorgeous today,

    we’re alive for the May!
