What's Happening Today:
In the ancient Roman calendar, this day was sacred to the Goddess Maia (For whom
May is named) and also to Vesta, goddess of the hearth and all sacred fires. On
this day Vesta's devotees, the Vestal Virgins, offered prayers to request an
adequate supply of water for the coming summer months. The festival of Maia was
always observed a week before the entry of the Sun into Gemini, ruled by Maia's
son Mercury (Hermes).
In the ancient Egyptian calendar, the month of Epipi, sacred to the protective
cobra Goddess Wadjet, begins with festivals of Hathor and Bastet. In contrast to
the preceding month of Payni, Epipi is a markedly feminine-centered month which
celebrates above all the female forces of latent vitality and continuity in
nature; and the critical importance of Truth, embodied by the Goddess Ma'at, in
all universal order. Some of the May events in the dramatic month-long festival
cycle that now begins
St Dympna - Matron saint of the mentally ill, this obscure 7th century Irish
princess has a shrine in Gheel, just east of Antwerp in Belgium, where people
have come for centuries seeking healing from mental illness. The whole town is a
sort of mental hospital without walls. On Dympna's feast day, there is a
procession to the saint's tomb. Rufus, Anneli, The World Holiday Book, Harper
San Francisco 1994
St Isidore - This 11th century Spanish saint, who spent his whole life working
in the fields, is the patron of farmers and Madrid.
He is usually depicted wearing blue pants and a cape, a sack slung over one
shoulder, kneeling in prayer while an angel plows the land behind him with a
pair of white oxen. In the Vodou tradition, he is associated with Asaka, the
"Minister of Agriculture," who wears a blue denim shirt and a broad-brimmed
straw hat, and carries a straw satchel, the typical garb of a peasant farmer in
Haiti.
St Isidore is also the patron of plough-pulling animals. Filipinos honor their
primary beast of burden, the water-buffalo, on this holiday by garlanding the
animals with flower and marching them to church to be blessed. Afterward they
race the animals across the fields, then gather for a feast. Every house
features a pahiya, a lush arrangement of coconut, sugar cane, pineapple, banana,
cookies and candies made of steamed, tinted and hardened rice shaped like
leaves. At the end of the day, the pahiya is given away for good luck. Brown,

California Press 1991

Goddess Of The Day: Fire Woman Barbecue Festival (Kentucky)
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Sun May 15, 2011 8:40 am (PDT)
Goddess Of The Day: Fire Woman
Barbecue Festival (Kentucky)
Themes: Sun; Fire; Family; Love
Symbols: Fire;Hearth:(Stove/Grill)
About Fire Woman: Since the United States is a melting pot of culture, we turn
to the Fire Woman of Borneo to instruct us in making fires by rubbing wood
together, followed by subsequent lessons in cookery! Today she continues her
warming ways by teaching us how to keep lovin' in the oven!
To Do Today: Cook outdoors! Fire Woman, by her very nature, is part of that
grill or hibachi. I must confess this festival is included for my sake, since
weekend barbecues are my summer fire rituals. Kentucky is considered the
barbecue capital of the world (they've never been to Buffalo), and over the
course of this festival in a town by the name of Owensboro, over ten tons of
meat will be cooked and consumed, as the day takes on the ambiance of a huge
"family" picnic.
In choosing your menu, think either hot, spicy foods to emphasize Fire Woman's
fiery aspect or foods that metaphysically engender love. One combination that
stresses both is strawberry-garlic grilled chicken (add crushed berries to
honey, ginger, and garlic for a sauce). Vegetarians can use this sauce on
potatoes or shitake mushrooms instead.
If you don't have time for a barbecue, light any candle briefly sometime today
to honor Fire Woman and draw her loving energy into your home.

Ease of Mercury Spell

Ease of Mercury Spell
Mix together celery seed, fennel, and lemongrass. Place them in a small,
light-blue cloth circle, and tie with a white string. Feel your sacred circle
around you, and visualize Mercury fringed in golden light with winged helmet
and shoes. Say:
Hermes, thrice blessed,
I thank you for your
presence in my life.
Grant me ease of travel and communications.
Help me to be quick and clear of mind and speech.
See him reach out and touch your bag, imparting some of his golden light to it
before flying off. Carry the bag with you throughout the day. ~ Kristin Madden

Egyptian Prayer To Isis
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Sun May 15, 2011 8:52 am (PDT)
Because of Isis, there is heaven.
Because of Isis, there is an earth.
Because of Isis, winds blow on the desert.
Because of Isis, the sweet sun shines.
Because of Isis, the river floods in spring.
Because of Isis, plants bear fruit.
Because of Isis, we live and grow strong.
Because of Isis, we have breath to give thanks.
~Egyptian Prayer To Isis
For most of human history, spring has been a difficult time. Certainly, the
weather is easier than several months ago; the winter storms no longer blow and
the light is stronger. But food stocks, from the previous year's harvest, would
have been perilously low for our foremothers in spring. Cleansing fasts, such as
those celebrated through the Christian season of Lent, were as much a necessity
as a discipline, for there was not much left in the storehouses, and the new
season's crops had not yet borne their fruits.
Yet it was still a season for gratefulness, for hope spring up with each new
sprout that emerged from the wintry earth. Even in the midst of want and hunger,
the sight of new growth is a happy one. In our times of need, we can remember
the promise of spring's green - and it can help us find hope again within us.

Strange Omens at the Maple Shade Farmer's Market, South Jersey

Strange Omens at the Maple Shade Farmer's Market, Saturdays, South Jersey
Strange Omens at the Maple Shade Farmer's Market
Hello, all! As I recently mentioned, MOST Saturdays I'm going to be selling at
the Maple Shade Farmer's Market. I don't think tomorrow will be one of them,
since it's supposed to rain, and my husband and I have both had complaining
stomachs this evening. But next week, come see me if you can! It's on Main
Street in the park, and runs from 8:30 to 12:30.
You can get more info here!
http://www.southjerseylocalnews. \s/doc4dc41fb7171eccom/articles/ 2011/05/06/ maple_shade_ progress/ new 162781686. txt
As I said before, I won't have all my usual items, since it's not a Goth or
Pagan focused event. But what I WILL have are soaps, scrubs and more from
Dreaming Tree Soapworks, incense, my more normal friendly jewelry and t-shirts,
assorted crafts and what have you. And if anyone wants anything in particular
that I usually carry, just give me a heads up and I'll bring it! Hope to see
some of you there!
