| May Happenings & More!
May is the fifth month of the year
It is named after the Greek goddess,
Maia
who is also identified with the Roman goddess of fertility, Bona Dea.
May's Full Moon, also called Mother's Moon, marks a time of increasing fertility with temperatures warm enough for safely bearing young, a near end to late frosts, and plants in bloom.
A month of great events and community coming together. There is something for everyone, all ages, all levels, all practices; from sunrise to sunset.
