May is the last full month of spring, and it is named for the Roman goddess Maia, who oversaw the growth of plants, also from the Latin word maiores, “elders,” who were celebrated during this month. Maia was considered a nurturer and an earth goddess, which may explain the connection with this springtime month.
Undoubtedly, May is a beautiful month for both hemispheres.
In the North, spring is gradually blooming into summer, while the South
celebrates autumn's gorgeous colors and harvest.
This month has the energy to help us reach our goals and
heart desires. We utilize May’s energies by going the extra mile with
our projects; watching them succeed will be our ultimate reward.
May will also bring about expansion and spiritual growth
movements when we feel we can rise above adversity. The magical concept
of May is that you don’t know if you will succeed until you move out of
yourself and give it a go.
The 1st of May marks the Beltane festival for the northern
hemisphere, and Samhain is also celebrated on the 1st of May in the
southern hemisphere. It was a time to dance, sing, and be merry. A time
to emit your inner light and to show your love; it was also celebrated
to usher in the new season.
Like all months in the Gregorian calendar, May was named by ancient
cultures. The Greeks called it May after their goddess Maia, referred to
in Roman culture as Bona Dea.
Let this month usher in positive energy to work on
self-improvement. Live the journey, let your self-expression shine, dare
to do things differently, and ask, “What can I do to make this world a
better place?”
Also, take the time on Sunday, May 11, to wish all mothers a happy Mother’s Day.
Always with love,
Thomas F O'Neill
