May Day, celebrated on May 1, stems from an ancient spring festival that has taken on a variety of meanings in various cultures in recent centuries.
Today is exactly half a year from November 1, which like May Day was thought to carry celestial significance among pagans in the Northern Hemisphere.
The consensus among is historians is that the origins of May Day date back to the Celtic festival of Beltane and the Germanic festival of Walpurgis Night.
We have no idea what that means, so you know it was a long ass time ago.
