May Day, Beltaine, Floralia

May Day, Celebrations, Demonstrations, Maypoles, Customs, Traditions

Get your horn filled with mead and head for outdoors. May Celebrations are underway starting with Floralia. Flora was the goddess of May and the blooming and fertility of anything that could do so.

Beltaine is a midpoint of Vernal Equinox and Summer Solstice. Commonly celebrated on May 1st, it is exact when the Sun is in the 15th degree of Taurus, usually around the 5th of May.

And May 5th, Cinco De Mayo is when the Mexicans kicked the French out but is now more a celebration of ….well, it’s just a big celebration. Much like St Paddy’s when we are all Irish, Cinco de Mayo, we are all Mexican and love La Fiesta.

Flowers, F*cking, and Fun. Grab a maypole, kids.
