MAY 2024 GODDESS CALENDAR
Check your intentions from the turn of the year. How are they blooming? Walk a labyrinth this month in honor of all the Maries. Decree yourself the Queen of May and act accordingly. Leave offerings of milk and honey for the Sovereign Goddesses of the land on Beltane. Flowers to add to your garden or home that are sacred to Mother Mary: lily, geranium, rose, marigold, morning glory, pansy. Bless your Beloved in the names of Sita and Rama. Dance around a bonfire in honor of Bona Dea, the Good Goddess. Contemplate the figure of Sheela-na-gig and how she leads you to meditation on your feminine power and body. Adorn yourself in flower garlands. Walk the fields and forest and leave little offerings for Artemis for her birthday. Unleash your Wild Soul and run through nature with the Goddess Diana. Cleanse your sacred space and rededicate it this month! ~ Kimberly Moore
