Marin County Civic Center and Lagoon Park. Drew Patterson joins Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras on Brew Ha Ha to talk about the Marin Irish Festival. It is coming back to Lagoon Park, Marin County Fairgrounds on May 3 and 4, 2025. It's a celebration of Irish music, dance, and culture. They will have more than 40 artisan vendors and craft booths. Feast on traditional Irish food (corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips, shepherd's pie). To drink, there will be pints of Guinness, Harp, and local hard ciders and ales. The Marin Irish Festival is a production of Red Barn Productions. They are famous for The Great Dickens Christmas Fair and the Renaissance Pleasure Faire. The festival takes its inspiration from Beltane, the ancient Celtic holiday that celebrates the arrival of summer—with Maypoles, music, dancing, and revelry. They will have live Performances on Four Stages and, new for this year, an officially sanctioned Irish dance competition. The Ceili on the Lake Championships are a sanctioned feis (pronounced FESH) in partnership with the Jackie Flynn Irish Dance Academy. For information and registration, visit marinirishfestival.com/feis In addition to all that, there will also be Sheep Herding Demos with real Sheep Dogs, plus sheep shearing and wool spinning!  The San Francisco Gaelic Athletic Association will demo hurling, Gaelic football, and Camogie, featuring fast-paced 5-on-5 blitz matches.

Beltane is a Gaelic celebration of the joy of spring and the coming summer. Originally it was the day when farmers brought the cows to pasture. There was the lighting of fires to protect the cattle, crops and homes and to encourage new growth and fertility. It was a grand day of May flowers decorating the Maypoles & doorways, feasting & dancing & offerings to the faeries! Beltane is still celebrated world-wide by many. It marks the halfway point between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice. Join us as we sit around the proverbial bonfire with a meditation and energy forecast! This week brings a transition from the Quarter of Initiation (January 22- May 3) to the Quarter of Civilization (May 4- August 5). Let us together open up to this sweet liminal space where magic happens. Where the old is not yet complete and the new is not here yet. When we take time in silence together on this auspicious date... who knows what might occur? Inspired by the ancient Chinese I-Ching, Astrology, Human Design and Gene Keys, Juna and Sabine we create this weekly energy forecast and guided meditation. Make sure to catch these two LIVE every Sunday at 7pm ET for another mind-blowing, yet pragmatic piece of the magical pie. www.synergyinmotion.info/sunday-evening-meditation

On the show this week:Simons and Nic discuss moving house as Simon settles into his new home. Is it worth getting a moving company to help and what are some of the hidden downsides to the process.We discuss the reintroduction of wolves and other wild animals to Germany and ask what you should do if you discover a wolf wandering down your street.Oktoberfest 2021 may be cancelled in Germany, but Simon introduces an alternative option for those still hoping for some beer fuelled fun in Dubai of all places. Can a desert really replace the traditions of Munich?The arrival of May gives Nic a chance to talk Maypoles and how German villages are keeping traditions alive despite social distancing.Finally, Simon tries to make Nic uncomfortable with a story about finding sex toys in a tree and why a recent discovery in Germany sparked a bomb scare.

For many European cultures, the Maypole symbolizes the dawning of spring. It alongside the annual May Day festival, marks the end of winter, a time of cold, darkness and death. In this episode, we ponder the question: What is our Maypole, and how do we process our eventual emergence from the COVID-19 pandemic?

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality It's a trifecta of fiestas: May Day, International Workers Day, and the first sacred self-loving day of Masturbation Month 2021. Brothers and Sisters, Wankers and Monkey-Spankers, Workers of the World—and that includes Sex Workers—Unite! Smash your chains (unless you're into bondage)! Break out the Maypoles, Hitachi Magic Wands, Communist Manifestos and lube! It's also almost Cinco de Mayo, so break out the salsa (just don't confuse the lube with the salsa)! Feliz Masturbación de Mayo! And take this bonoboësque, sapiosexual, party ride on the Love Train, as we pick up “Most Well-Rounded Kinkster” SUZY award-winning MFA, MILF and “hot art teacher,” Rhiannon Aarons (who recalls our threesome with me and a big phallic green gourd named Gourdy), and more, telling tales of first-time masturbation experiences along with our most recent which, in some cases, happened just before the show! Origin Storytelling begins with May Day, rising up from the prehistoric Floralia like a joyously erect Maypole. International Workers' Day, the ultimate F*ck Da Rich Fest, declared in 1889 by the Socialist/Communist Second International, commemorates Chicago's “Haymarket” workers' revolt. A century later, Masturbation Month was proclaimed by my late great mentor Dr. Betty Dodson and Good Vibrations, honoring U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, fired for saying public school sex education could teach that masturbation is a good safer sex option. If only President Bill Clinton had listened to Dr. J's advice… See why self-pleasure is so important—not just for you—but for the world? So, go bonobos (yes, bonobos do it too), and give yourself a hand. You Do You. Celebrate the month of May… Slight tangent: California Governor Gavin Newsom's ill-advised French Laundry dinner is kind of like Clinton's bad-judgment BJ. Newsom should have dined at home, and Clinton should have masturbated alone. Still, that was no reason for Clinton to be impeached, nor for Newsom to be recalled! Our sizzling post-show throwback features sexy Savannah Fyre (now Alana Cruise) kicking off “Masturbation Month 2016” with a bang and a sparkling Spring squirt. I also present the 8 Great Virtues of Masturbation. Virtues? Yes, indeed, denigrated as “self-abuse” for centuries, now we are calling it what it is: self-pleasure. It feels good. And it is good. But what is it good for? Listen and learn… Wankers of the World Unite! Want more? Watch what we can't show you here and read the Journal: https://drsusanblockinstitute.com/guided-masturbation

In 1889, 3 years after demonstrations in America in which 6 people died and many were injured, the Congress of the 2nd International in Paris established May Day as Labor Day.For years we were forced to decorate the windows and march in processions. Much nicer, however, were the May traditions associated with love, blooming trees and lengthening days. - V roku 1889, 3 roky po demonštráciách v Amerike, v ktorých zomrelo 6 ľudí a mnohí boli zranení, ustanovil kongres 2.socialistickej internacionály v Paríži deň 1.mája za Sviatok Práce. Roky sme boli nútení zdobiť okná a pochodovať v sprievodoch.Omnoho krajšie však boli májové tradície, ktoré sa spájali s láskou, rozkvitnutými stromami a predlžujúcimi sa dňami. Obľúbené boli majálesy, a dodnes je veľmi silná aj kresťanská - Mariánska tradícia. Aj o tom hovorila Zuzana Kovačičová s etnologičkou Katarínou Nádaskou.

This episode does contain sexual topics and listener discretion is advised. Beltane is coming soon and we are excited to celebrate this year. Let's talk lore, traditions, and rituals. Since it's creation, Beltane has been a day to celebrate sexuality and fertility. Come along as we talk about Maypoles and May Bushes, ritual sex, and a little bit of kitchen witchin'.

A little girl longs for romantic love but goes after it in quite the wrong way. The British celebrate Royal Oak Day on May 29 in honor of King Charles II’s birthday. Ten-year-old Poppy Marigold wears an oak apple round her neck because if a student doesn’t wear a costume they are to be pinched—in the bum. Poppy sits at lunch with Alastair Glover, Duncan MacGregor, and Fergus Laird. None of the boys say anything to her. She wants to pinch them in the bum for their bad attitudes. Inspired by the kiss in Sleeping Beauty, she imagines being kissed by her own prince. For weeks, Poppy was sure she was in love with each of the three adorable boys, and now was the time to finally be kissed. She decides that the large Oak Tree outside the School is about to help her get that first kiss. As Poppy pinches the boys’ bums, their teacher announces that the Heart of Oak Friendly Society Parade starts at three o’clock. This year Poppy plans to sneak up the Oak Tree and drop apples on Alastair, Duncan, and Fergus. More determined than ever, she remembers how wonderful love is supposed to be, according to Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince. So, when no one is looking, she stuffs her dress pockets and backpack with apples. Poppy thinks if she hits the boys in the head, they’ll pass out, and she can kiss them before they wake up. If one of them wakes when she’s kissing him, it will be true love, and everyone will know it. When Poppy finishes her Maypole, she slips out to the Oak Tree and positions herself on a sturdy tree branch where she has good aim at any of the boys. Her classmates walk out with their Maypoles, oak boughs, and flowers. They look so festive Poppy almost forgets her plan to drop the apples, but when she sees Alastair, she drops the first apple and hits his shoulder. She drops the second apple on Duncan. It hits him in the head, but it isn’t strong enough to knock him out. When she sees Fergus, she throws the apple so hard that it smacks him to the ground. She declares it’s true love. Poppy climbs down and the rest of the apples fall on everyone. As her teacher scolds her, she runs to Fergus, grabs him and kisses him. A few moments later, Fergus opens his eyes, looking so shocked and confused that he can hardly breathe. Yelling, Fergus gets up off the sidewalk and runs down the parade route as fast as he can. Poppy calls after him and runs to try to catch him, throwing apples from the sidewalk at his head, with good aim. After a few minutes, Fergus gives up, and makes Oak Apple Day history when he kisses Poppy.

Maypoles, shrooms, and bear suits… Oh my! Yep, this week the hosts talk about the very pretty and very creepy “Midsommar.” James and Giselle discuss their individual takes on the story, character motivations, the unique use of horror, and the subtly insidious nature of the community (or “Swedish Death Cult” as the hosts call it). Also, don’t piss on ancestral trees. Bad things happen when you piss on ancestral trees.

"It is time to keep your appointment with the wicker man"This week we discuss a film once descirbed as "The Citizen Kane of horror films" The Wicker Man from 1973. It is not only a spectacular tale of horror but also an intelligent story of faith and tempatation. We discuss Paganism, real wicker men, being out of your element, and how May Poles are just penises (peni?). Gather around as we deep dive into one of the greatest films of the 1970's.

The Chatfield Girls are all fists as they talk about the playground favorite Tetherball. Holly, Shelley, and Julie talk about the origins (9th century heads-on-sticks? Maypoles?) and what a Gentleman's Game of Tetherball looks like, as well as naming the hometown tetherball heroes (paging Daniel Ulmer, Jeff Moss, and Bobby Wilson). The girlos get presidential by referencing Woodrow Wilson and Chester A. Arthur, and they discuss which metal makes the best fists. Plus, Julie introduces "You Could Pay Me," a segment where the girls reveal the weird body tricks they wish they could monetize.

Robert Herrick was a Cambridge-educated Londoner stuck with an out of the way vicarship in Devon. He wasn't a fan of rural life, but it was there that he wrote almost all of the poetry he's known for: the volumes "Hesperides" and "Noble Numbers," both published in 1648. This poem sets forth the content of Hesperides. I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers, Of April, May, of June, and July-flowers. I sing of Maypoles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes, Of bridegrooms, brides and of their bridal-cakes. I write of youth, of love, and have access By these to sing of cleanly wantonness. I sing of dews, of rains, and piece by piece, Of balm, of oil, of spice and ambergris. I sing of times trans-shifting, and I write How roses first came red and lilies white. I write of groves, of twilights, and I sing The court of Mab, and of the fairy king. I write of Hell ; I sing (and ever shall) Of Heaven, and hope to have it after all. bower - A place closed in or overarched with branches of trees, shrubs, or other plants; a shady recess, leafy covert, arbour. (OED) hock-cart - The cart carrying the last load of the harvest, usually decorated in celebration. wassails - Twelfth Night celebrations, basically big drinking parties. wake - a rural church festival, like a fete or celebration of a feast day. wantonnesse - Often a word for lasciviousness. Can also be naughtiness (of a child, for instance), or capriciousness. (OED) ambergris - The base of many perfumes (at least it used to be). You don't want to know where it comes from. Mab - queen of the fairies: she gives people dreams. We'd love to hear from you! Email your comments and suggestions to poetryalivepodcast@gmail.com.
