    What It Is

    May 1 — the cross-quarter between spring equinox and summer solstice. The sacred marriage of God and Goddess, the leaping of the Bel-fires, the crowning of the May Queen. The veil between worlds thins.

    How to Observe It

    Dance if you can. Light a fire and pass between two flames for blessing. Whatever your body wants to say yes to today is worth listening to.
