Maia is the Greek goddess of spring, from whom we derive the name of the month of May.

Modern Energy

Maia is the shy and gentle goddess, patron of mothers and nurses, to whom sacrifices were made to ensure the growth of crops. Her traditional day of celebration is on 1 May, when to this day, men and women don vibrant green clothing and dance around a may-pole to welcome spring. Maia’s spring-time energy gives us the chance to reflect on our achievements over the past year, and to examine where we’d like to go in the forthcoming year.

Do This

On the next clear night, take the time to star gaze. Maia is the brightest star in the Pleiades (also known as the Seven Sisters) constellation, located between the hunter Orion and Taurus the Bull. Reflect on elements of your life that you think need Maia's influence of renewal, and carry a piece of amber to strengthen your intentions through this week.
