Items of Interest About May

The Birthstone for May is the Emerald

The Emerald has been prized for thousands of years for its lush green hues and rare beauty. Throughout the ancient world, emerald symbolized eternal hope, rebirth and the arrival of spring - and some cultures believed the gem rewarded its owners with love, intelligence and eloquence as well. The ancients ascribed numerous magical and mystical properties to this most precious of green gems. In ancient Rome, for example, emeralds were believed to have a soothing effect on the soul. Modern scientists have since shown this myth to have some basis in fact: tests indicate that the human eye is more sensitive to green than any other color. Middle Age seers used emeralds to foretell the future, as well as to ward off evil spirits and cure ailments ranging from bad eyesight to infertility. The stone was also said to improve memory and bring great wealth to its wearer.

This stone has been linked to fertility & the Earth Goddess, is sacred to the Goddess Venus, and was worn by women to ease the pain of childbirth. Emerald is a cousin to the Aqua, both are in the Beryl family of stonesAlso believed to give a person psychic powers, the gem could tell if a lover’s affections were true. During the Middle Ages, people believed emeralds could stop bleeding and fevers and calm a person’s mind. The stone was also connected to eyesight, and one legend reports the gem could blind snakes while they were being charmed. Today, emeralds are associated with the themes of rebirth, romance, and spring.

 

 

The Flower for May is the Lily of the Valley

The lily of the valley signifies the return of happiness. Legend is of a nightingale that would not come back to the woods until the flower bloomed again in May. Thus, the flower of May is the lily of the valley. White lilies represent purity, chastity, sweetness and innocence. White lily bouquets in Christian homes during Easter symbolize Christ's resurrection. Legend tells that the lily sprang from Eve's tears when she was expelled from The Garden Of Eden. The white Madonna lily is considered the special flower of the Holy Virgin - Christian folklore tells the lily had been yellow until the day the Virgin Mary stooped to pick it. Other folklore tells of lilies, unplanted by any human hand spontaneously appearing on the graves of people executed for crimes they did not commit. Some believe that planting lilies in a garden will protect the garden from ghosts and evil spirits.

Lily of the valley has been used for medicinal purposes. It was believed to strengthen memory, to restore speech and as a liquor smeared on the forehead and the back of the neck, to make one have good common sense. All parts of the plant are considered poisonous, despite it's alleged powers.The leaves yield a green dye, with lime water.
