And why is this in a spirituality section when its all about workers and labor, for years the Catholics celebrated May Day as a fest for Mary, you know the virgin mother.
The Virgin Mother is just another aspect of the Goddess I reckon, much easier to convert the pagans if you let them transfer some of their beliefs over to your new religion. Spiritual belief systems serve the purpose of helping us to better focus on the divine, so whatever name you choose to give Her is fine with me. I and many of my fairy friends call her Daphne (Laurel). In any case, there are many "Virgin Mothers" in pagan mythology, Mary was easy enough to simply tack on the end of the list. Hey, we pagans are equal-opportunity Goddess worshippers
not sure if you were asking why this post was here or why we're talking about worker's day, but this post was placed in the spirituality section because it is intended it to reflect my own spiritual beliefs as they pertain to this
most sacred holiday to me, and to acknowledge the same for any others here that might share in those beliefs. Labor day or workers day or whatever is not what I personally celebrate on this day, but certainly to each his own: The fact is that most anything celebrated on May 1 (or May 5, etc...) involves drinking in some form anyway, so whatever floats your cork, the fairies are all for it.
Just be sure to put back any toadstools you knock over lol
Happy May Day Miniar, Nichole, Tekla, Shades O'Grey, imaz, lisagurl, Cindy, and all who posted.
