Let us celebrate the season of May and delve into the magical time of flowers and dancing. Traditionally the May Queen is a girl dressed in white with flowers in her hair, and appears during a festival with a maypole. The May Queen comes from ancient pagan celebrations of Spring to Summer, fertility and beauty. Much is tied with roots in both the respect and worship of nature and towards the blessed gift of agriculture. The cycles of seasons and regrowth of new budding plants that offer food, medicine and signs of a healthy soil. Some associate the May Queen with Spring goddesses Flora, Persephone, Ostara, Idunn and Brigid. The celebration of the May Queen is held in most countries in Europe, when a maiden is chosen to represent the May Queen or the Flower Girl.
