betwixt us
brings May flowers ...
honors Wiccan magic

Thank you for mentioning 'Wiccan' magic - most people have narrow minded misconceptions of it, but it is very close to the Native American traditions of showing respect and appreciation to the natural world-

I myself fancy myself a part time Wiccan, being a spiritualist, I claim all religions, and especially the Native American's ideas of death, and Egypt's ba and ka soul travel.

I love this month. Too bad not many recall May day any more, as you did here by paying it tribute, Caren.

We used to bring popcorn, tiny candies, violets and dandelions to all of our neighbors. We spent hours making dainty Maybaskets out of wallpaper and doilies.
