Like Beltane, the Summer Solstice is said to be one of the times of year when the fairy court changes residence. Anyone who has ever seen fireflies flitting around on Midsummer might believe this is true.

The #FlowerMoon rises in Scorpio on 12 May. So-called by Native Americans due to the abundance of flowers as the weather warms up. Also known as Budding Moon, & in Anglo Saxon #MilkMoon, due to cows having three milkings a day in May. #fullmoon#FolkloreSunday#MythologyMonday
This month’s full moon on 12th May is known in Algonquin tradition as the “Flower Moon”, and marks the peak of springtime when lush new growth and flowers flourish. Other traditional names for May’s #fullmoon include the Hare Moon, Planting Moon, and Budding Moon. #FolkloreSunday
Nicola Coughlan has raised over £70,000 and counting for Not A Phase, a charity committed to uplifting and improving the lives of trans people across the UK:
“To see an already marginalised community being further attacked and attacked in law is really stomach-churning and disgusting and to see people celebrate it is more stomach-churning and disgusting. If you are a cisgender person who is an ally of a trans person, I think now is the time to just speak up and make your voice heard and let your trans and non-binary friends and the community at large know that you are there for them and will keep fighting for them.”
Thanks to everyone who watched the documentary tonight. You can find more info about the campaign here @FBfACampaign and a lot of great organisations who can help with the issues raised. #michaelsheengiveaway#FairBankingAct

Far beyond the reach of most mortals, at the border between our world and the Celtic Otherworld, Nine Hazel trees grow by the banks of the Well of Wisdom 🌳☁️
These trees contain the knowledge of the Universe and the nuts that fall into the Well feed the waters with wonder and wisdom that trickles into the streams that feed the rivers of Ireland☘️
The fish within the well "The Salmon of Knowledge" possess much of the wisdom of the Hazel trees having fed upon the nuts that fall into the Well 🐟
“The World is very old;
But every Spring
It groweth young again,
And fairies sing…” - ‘Spring Magic’ by Cicely Mary Barker (1895-1973). #poetry#flowers
