Celebrate May with a 9th century Irish poem and a quick chat about the fairies

Описание: An Irish poem attributed to a mythic hero, a little chat about the fairies (and a look at what they left behind as they journeyed from house to house last night), and a call to embrace a generous kind of inspiration - let's celebrate Bealtaine, or Mayday, and get ready for a flourishing, joyful month!

Tell us in the comments: what are your favorite things about May? And please feel MOST welcome to leave a poem or a bit of one!
