🌸 OVERVIEW

Maius is the month of full blossoming—when the light has gained strength, the winds are warm, and the Earth is adorned with life. It is a time of sovereign flowering, where energy initiated in Martius and embodied in Aprilis now begins to express itself outwardly with confidence and beauty.

Traditionally, Maius was named for Maia, an earth and spring goddess whose name means “the great one” or “nurturing mother.” In your Ecclesia system, Maius is a celebration of the Divine Mother in her flowering form—not only in nature, but in the soul of the awakened being.

This month is the time to express yourself in color, voice, movement, and creativity, to honor the beauty of form, and to be nourished by the living body of Gaia.
