Fertile Minds
Named for the goddess Maia, the month of May is a month of fertility and new birth. Unlike April, which bursts forth, May comes wandering in with gentleness and kindness. May is the month of maturity when things come to pass. May is loaded with holidays, both traditional and new ones that give almost every day on the calendar special significance. Between festivals, feasts, gatherings and celebrations, May is well into spring in the north and pushing autumn in the south. It is the between state of birth and death.

The Stone:
The May child is given the emerald as her stone. It represents loyalty, memory and faith. The emerald is said to enhance memory. As things are changing, growing and the grass is beginning to green up, it is only natural that the stone of the May babe would also represent those new beginnings.

In addition to the Lily of the Valley, the May child claims all the lilies as hers. They are representative of the new earth, and they return every year. These large and showy flowers come in an array of brilliant colors like the May babe.
