Moon hare by ~Gerie-Aren

The May full moon is also known as the Flower Moon, Milk Moon, Corn Planting Moon, and Corn Moon. The energies around this moon are ones of health, romance, love and wisdom. We are encouraged to begin to take action on the things we’ve recently been planning.

Once April’s rains and winds have subsided, the sun begins to warm up the earth and we’re able to get the gardens planted. Thus May is the month we begin to sow our crops. Get out in the garden under a Flower Moon and put your hands into the soil. May’s Moon brings us energy of love, wisdom and health. Spring is a time of fertility, and May is a fiery month indeed — full of lust and passion! It’s called the month of the Hare’s Moon — and we all know what hares are busy doing in the spring.

Correspondences:

Colors: Red, orange, yellow

Gemstones: Ruby, garnet, amber, Apache tear

Trees: Hawthorn, rowan

Gods: Kali, Priapus, Cernunnos, Flora

Herbs: Cinnamon, members of the mint family

Element: Fire

Gems and oils to boost the energy of the Hare’s Moon

Gemstones: Malachite, Jade, Emerald, Peridot or any other green-hued stones. These gems help enhance the energy of the heart chakra, which governs our compassion, generosity, love and harmony. If you need a boost in any of these areas, simply slip a green stone into your pocket, or put on a piece of green-gemmed jewelry.

Essential Oils: Eucalyptus, Thyme, Sandalwood, Pine, Melissa, Bergamont. These oils will help you connect with your unconscious mind and set the intention of love, wisdom and compassion

The May full moon is a time when we begin to really notice more light in our lives. The days are longer, the grass is green and the flowers are starting to bloom. The energy at this time is playful and light, energetic and buoyant. If you want to really celebrate this moon and the energy it brings, you can do fun things like:

host a pot-luck with a spring theme

visit your local elementary school and volunteer during art class

light a green candle and meditate on your thankfulness for the feeling of renewal and rejuvenation.

Other ideas:

Another great way to connect with the Hare’s Moon is to bless some seeds, seedlings or garden plants, and then plant them. Doing this involves intentionally adding positive energy to these plants, and then nurturing their growth and health. This is a powerful symbolic exercise that will help you focus your energy on intentionally giving “good vibes” to your environment. Doing this will make you feel empowered, positive and loving.

This is also a good time to work on magic related to careers and jobs. Thinking about switching to a new position, or perhaps trying a new field altogether? Want to take a class or get your degree? Take the seeds you’ve planted last month, and allow them to bloom and grow in your favor. Do some fire divination this month to help guide you on your way.

between3realms:

My altar (kinda) from Tuesday. I had originally just had the white and black chime candles until I had the feeling that She was the “grey area” between.

The pillar candle is for my patron. I also need a new altar cloth; pentacles were never really my thing.

(all the papers on the wall are things friends have drawn/given me in the years. I save them forever.)

The Hare

In Celtic tradition, the Hare is sacred to the Goddess and is the totem animal of many lunar Goddesses such as Hecate, Freyja, Selene, Anumati - the Hare is a symbol for the Moon. The nocturnal Hare, so closely associated with the moon which dies every morning and is resurrected every evening, also represents the rebirth of Nature in Spring. The Goddess most closely associated with the Hare is Eostre, or Ostara.
Both the Moon and the Hare were believed to die daily in order to be reborn - therefore the Hare is a symbol of immortality. It is also a major symbol for Fertility and Abundance as the hare can conceive while pregnant.
