Time of the witches and lovers

Traditionally, the warm season is welcomed to the first May fabricated moon. Plants, animals and people dance a joy dance with the natural master. Everything is awakened-the fire god Belenos hugs his decorated bride, the original goddess, who at that time takes over the scepter as a goddess of flower.

Even today, a maypole is traditionally placed in many communities in which the whole village is involved. The women prepare the tree decorations, the men then set up the maypole.

It mostly consists of a birch or spruce tribe, with left green crown and colorful paper bands wind around his trunk. In earlier times, the may festival was a very exuberant and excessive festival with a lot of alcoholic beverages.

That night the original goddess welcomes the child of her husband, so that, like all life, growing, growing and tires, it is allowed to go through spring until the warm summer days.

The warm days keep the festive move into all residence facilities

And that was very important in earlier times. The rule of winter was finally over. Symbolically, the winter fire was deliberately deleted this night, so that they can then rekindle them as a summer fire.

Not only the hawthorn, which looks magical in May, when it wears wonderful flowers in white and pink on its black branches, herbs such as the wild garlic, the valerian and the Gundermann are also one of the plants of the may festival.

Faith on April 30th

In some places in southern Germany you can eat a wild garlic soup on April 30 to Walpurgis because it should keep the witches away. It is said of Gundermann when you collect him on the Walpurgis night and put a wreath on your head - you are crowned and can see the witches who want to dance you on your head ...

In the days of the Maivollmond, we can deal with the following questions:

• How do I get in harmony with the laws of nature and the cosmos?

• How do I find my strength?

• Everything I send back comes back to me. What I put in my strength comes back to me. This is the hermetic law of cause and effect - do I handle this principle?
