Oh... *sighs with relief* I was so glad to get this particular review, fallconsmate.
Last time I attempted to write a story about a pagan festival I received a few very pissed off PMs from readers accusing me of 'scorning' their traditions with my lack of proper accuracy in the rite I described, so it was lovely to get someone who actually celebrates Beltane tell me that this wasn't all that offensive. I know that I've tweaked a few things here and there, but they were done in order to fold my story-line into the traditions of the legend of the May Queen, not in order to offend anyone's personal beliefs. :D
Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review. I'm really thrilled that you enjoyed this particular story.
