May is the middle of Spring and a time when joy and abundance abound. Flowers and plants are blooming, everything is green, and life is coming back into full swing since Winter ended. There are plenty of amazing dates throughout May that you can celebrate as a pagan. Here they are:
May 1 - Beltane (High Spring): This is an ancient festival held by multiple pagan cultures. All about fire, this festival celebrates the union of the Goddess and God. Read more about Beltane here.
May 7 - New Moon in May: The new moon is all about new beginnings and this new moon in Taurus is all about looking at home and what makes it special to you. It's also time to take a hard-core look at what's around you. Could you declutter areas? Could you add in new colors to old spaces? Could you dress up other spots? How can you make your home base more "you"? Read more about the May New Moon here.
May 12 - Mother's Day: The day that mothers are honored here in the US.
