MAYPOLEING

 
Maypoleing actually takes place in May as a sort of folk or pagan fertility rite.
 
The pole is symbolic in the way that Sigmund Freud would explain.
 
Villagers dance around the maypole, which as you can see is a tall pole which had ribbons or long strips of cloth hanging about it.  As they dance they weave the ribbon together.
