I loaned my copy of Marion Zimmer Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon
to my niece Hazel quite a while ago and she hasn’t returned it,
so I don’t have it handy.

In the book, does the Great Rite love scene between the
(I think horned) hero and heroine take place at full moon?
I think that is when he gets dragon lines on his arms as well,
but my memory is fuzzy, I haven’t read it since 1996.

Some may be interested in my thread
“Leading up to Harvest Moon”
on alt.religion.druid .

Also, did that Great Rite take place at Beltane (May 1)
or at the full moon closest to May 1, or at some other
time?
