May Day (Maia)

In French the meaning of the name Mae is: May. In Roman mythology Maia: (source of the month May) was goddess of spring growth.
From Old Portuguese mãy, from madre, from Latin māter (“mother”), from Proto-Indo-European *méh₂tēr (“mother”).

Occultism is a way of life. To truly get into the flow, you've gotta live it. Rituals. Life is a ritual.

Many rituals we create for ourselves unknowingly like our Morning rituals in preparation for our day: Wake-Up, Give Thanks 2 Creatress, Drink Water, Release, Cleanse, Dress, Wake & Prepare Children, Breakfast, Travel-Transport, Work. Or every Sunday: Church, Football, Dinner, Sex.

Other rituals we are placed in like First of the Month: Rent is due. New Baby: Social Security Account. Need Food: Grocery Store. Well... Now that I'm thinking about it, perhaps those given rituals are a little more complicated. I mean, sure we have to pay rent and utilities every month. Right?

Some of the meta-physicians say your land lord & light company executives are God. We sign user contracts so perhaps some rituals are a grayish blend of voluntary & given. 

My point is- Rituals.

Those we create for ourselves & those created for us.. Today is May Day. A day that kicks off Mother's Month.. the Month when Spring's first fruits are ripe and the rains are replenishing for the Summer bounty. While the origins of May Day and the Maypole have been deeply buried under the sands of time, many folks still celebrate the ritual. I joke that the Maypole is the original strippers pole. It is the same concept: Exalting the Genesis Energy... Others say it's a celebration in Honor of The Green Man... I'm here for all of it.. Mama loves the flowers & the phallus.

I kid.

Happy May Day!
