A group of children chase ribbons around a pole. One of them gets tangled in the ribbon and falls to the ground. Fallen Child: Mayday.
Does anybody do this any more? I did it as a kid back in 1950-something but managed not to get tangled.
Now I can’t see one without thinking of “The Wicker Man” from the ’70s.
You can’t wrap a maypole with an odd number of people. Maybe that’s why she got tangled up.
And, from the great “Gordo” comic —
Hooray, hooray, the first of May,Outdoor lovin’ begins today.
It’s the centerpiece to many a pagan / Wiccan Beltaine ritual. so yes, in both North America and Europe. I just saw one done at a Unitarian church.
