It's May, and that means that the Flower Moon will appear next week. This is a time of fertility and new growth, and May is a fiery month indeed -- full of lust and passion! In addition to the obvious sexual connections, this is a good time to focus on new beginnings in your career and finances.

This month's correspondences include fiery colors like red, orange, and yellow, and gemstones such as the amber and ruby. Prickly trees like the hawthorn and rowan come into play, and lusty deities take center stage, with Priapus, Flora, and Kali being honored this month. For magical workings, try a fire divination under the full moon, or do rituals related to jobs and prosperity. Take the seeds you planted in April, and watch them bloom this month, under the Flower Moon!

While May itself is passionate and fiery, the season of Spring is often a wet one. Use the element of water to connect in this Spring Full Moon rite, and celebrate the way our bodies connect to the moon and its phases.
