Spring: Milk Moon
With the Milk Moon, the scarcity of early spring is giving way to late spring, where abundance is starting to overflow. The animals have birthed, the rains have come and the fresh green grass is plentiful. The milk flows as a river and Mother Earth is ripe at peak fertility. Traditionally, we celebrate this time with Beltane or May Day adorning all with beautiful flowers and rejoicing in the fecundity on earth. Mother’s Day, a modern adaptation, we honor the many forms of mothers and how all their love and creative energy perpetuate the cycle of life.
