   It seems that the marriage blessings have come at   
   Orthodox Easter (at least in UTC/GMT).   
      
   Happy Orthodox Easter!   
      
   Note that if Beltane is defined as halfway between the spring   
   equinox and summer solstice, it is exactly 1158 UTC May 5, 2024.   
      
   So I am making one more attempt on alt.religion.druid in the   
   thread “late Beltane attempt/crone moon”. Check that thread   
   if you are interested, which I deem more likely if you notice   
   effects, such as improved sexual compatibility, and positive   
   charisma modulation of good individuals.
