Happy May Sun Day!
May Day is traditionally associated with merriment, rituals of fertility, and song, all of which form part of pagan celebrations marking the end of Winter and the promise of the Summer to come.....
For many pagans, though much misunderstood and maligned (and strangely still associated with evil even today), the Virgin Mary (amongst many others) symbolically stood for and/or served as an iconic replacement - so allowing the worship of the Goddess to continue.
It is the Goddess, primarily, for whom May Day is actually dedicated.
Celebrations herald and welcome the return of the God and Goddess from their winter absence and slumber
As the pagan Gods return, with them they bring the warmth of the Sun, breathing life back into the Earth - and so the cycle of life recommences.
