Calendar. May 1st - May Day. Originally a country festival day featuring maypoles and wild celebrations. Many accounts describe it serving as a venue for improper encounters between eligible young men and women. The current school-style maypole and ribbon dance tradition is said to have been created by John Ruskin.

Summer Solstice
Today we celebrate the Summer Solstice in the Northern Emisphere. Image Taken from Internet The longest day, the shortest night. A turning point in the wheel of the year, where the sun reaches its zenith and bathes the Northern Hemisphere with its light. This is the Summer Solstice, a phenomenon not just of scientific wonder, but of ancient reverence. From the pyres of Celtic festivals to the…

May Day

Today is May Day, the historical Beltane. It is the day that the border between the mortal realm and that of Faerie is at its most porous and the risk of humans desirable to the faeries for whatever reason, being abducted and spirited away to their enchanted domain, is high. Traditions of wearing May Day garlands remain very strong, symbolic of the returning colourful foliage of summer. The most visible example of garlanding is that of Jack-in- the-Green, a pre-Christian embodiment of the forest and the return of spring, he features in many of the May Day parades that take place today in the villages of England. Another May Day parade figure with similar pagan origins is the ‘Obby ‘Oss of Padstow, a wooden, snapping hobby horse surrounded by an immense veil. If the ‘Oss envelops a young woman in its folds it is certain she will become pregnant in the coming year, perhaps a nod to its horse-god fertility origins.
Maypoles are perhaps the quintessential symbol of May Day festivities. Their origin is supposed to lie in the erection of huge phallic constructions in pre-Celtic times to symbolise the fertility of spring’s transition into summer. There is actually no evidence for this interpretation, but the Puritan government of the Commonwealth certainly believed it. In the 1650s May Day celebrations were banned across England and Maypoles were torn down. It is possible the poles are a remembrance of Anglo-Saxon and Norse sacred trees and the fact young women process around them may hint at a fertility origin - or that may be a more recent innovation. The Catholic Church embraced the festival, dedicating May Day to the Virgin Mary, itself perhaps a repurposing of pagan celebrations of nature goddesses, of which the tradition of the crowning of May Queens on 1st May is perhaps a distant echo.

The tension’s tighter this time of year. Yes, there’s license, yes, there’s freedom, yes, there’s drink and rest and sex. But the days are about to start getting shorter. Have you prepared for winter? Have you prepared to die?
Continuing to keep it light for Part Three of my series on the summer solstice for the Paris Review.
