    It is now Beltane (May 1), so I suggest you play
    Loreena McKennitt's Huron `Beltane' Fire Dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW2tYM2LZik .

    My latest attempt to improve the world is described
    on the thread "May Day, SOS" on alt.religion.druid .

    (It is also International Workers Day.)

    The time period of my attempt I think includes the
    lunar phase of Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement)
    though of course it is not the correct lunar month.

    That failed, and I am trying again with some slight changes,
    including that the timing is beginning this evening (International
    Harry Potter Day, now three days before full moon) and
    hopefully being complete by full moon (the closest
    full moon to Beltane, and both full moon and Beltane
    are auspicious for sexuality/marriage blessings, which
    I a trying to bring about for many). You can follow my
    progress on the thread “Full moon closest to Beltane”
    on alt.religion.druid.
