Paint it an decorate it with ribbons and flower petals or bake a cake with a maypole decoration, using fresh flower petals and a pencil wrapped in ribbons. If you can’t make a maypole because you don’t have the space or facilities, you can make a miniature one from either and oak or birch branch. The children are all dressed in green and are ready to dance and sing: The maypole can be brought inside as well. Our flower wreath is suspended from the top. We cover the stand with moss and ferns and flowers and decorate the pole, wrapping it in Springtime ribbons. The branches are trimmed, and when Beltane arrives, the tree is secured in a stand. We use the same tree year in and year out. We ask the tree’s permission and then leave tokens of fresh herbs or crystals. A group of coveners selects a tree and the appropriate thanks and gifts are given in exchange. However, here in New England we often use birch trees.
