My partner Garnet is Pagan, who just the other week told me about Beltane, a festival held on the first of May to mark the beginning of Spring, bring about fertility of their crops, and protect their livestock (please do not quote me on this, I am literally researching the finer points as I write this post).

What was predictably of interest to me is that some choose to celebrate with rituals of intimacy and sex with their closer friends and partners, and given some of the conversations we've had lately, it inspired me to celebrate the day with her in my own special way.

So here she is; laid out on a sacrificial table, offering herself as tribute in a very intimate and erotic ritual with her own coven.
