Like light on the meadows we dwell;
Like twilight clings heart unto heart;
Like midnight the depth of the spell
Our love weaves, and stronger than hell
The guards of our palace of art.
We are one as the dew that is drawn
By the sun from the sea: we are curled
In curves of delight an of dawn,
On the lone, the immaculate lawn,
Beyond the wild way of the world.
-from The May Queen, Aleister Crowley

In this time of the May Queen and the Oak King, the Green Man- the peak of spring and beginning of summer-Beltane- our ritual included Offering the Nine Sacred Woods to the Fires of Beltane:
Alder for protection
Ash for abundance
Birch for renewal
Hawthorn for courage
Hazel for creativity
Holly for healing
Oak for strength
Rowen for wisdom
Willow for resilience
The May Queen Goddess and The Green Man jumping the flames for purification and protection- while spinning into the Season of the Sun.
