Synopsis
This book presents a vivid pageant of the mythical goddess Proserpine's return to earth, and of popular May Day revels in medieval England. The author creatively blends the two narratives to illustrate the pagan and Christian roots of many modern Spring festival customs. The book explores themes of seasonal cycles, nature's renewal, and the tension between desire and obligation, all through the lens of the historical evolution of the May Day festival. In presenting this rich tapestry of myth, history, and folklore, the author invites readers to reflect on the significance of ancient rituals, and their lasting influence on our contemporary celebrations of Spring.
