The May Queen
One of the most well known celebrations of Spring is the crowning of the May Queen to rule over the Merrie Month of May. This tradition like many are a blending and continuation of numerous pagan customs. With the May Queen serving as Godhead of a Fertility Goddess; elected by the people, the girl or young woman with the most lovable disposition. She is then paraded through the town garlanded in flowers and a beautiful White Dress.
In terms of Celtic Origins one can see the rising of Bride the Summer Queen over Beira the Winter Queen, while in Germania she is Eostre. Over time the May Queen has been represented by many figures, including Maid Marian, Queen Guinevere, The Queen of Fae, among others. The Church made her The Virgin Mary or Romanized her as Flora trying to appropriate the tradition.
Today is the Merrie Day of May, and May the May Queen's rule be Merrie.-TLK

The May King
While less popular then the May Queen, there is also the figure of the May King. Those who fill this role are often the Male counterparts to their Queen King Arthur for Guinevere, Angus for Bride, etc. While on May Eve atop the Brocken The Devil or Wotan marries the fertility goddess.
While some of the most common English May Kings are part of an old Celtic line of mythic figures. The King of Faerie Robin Goodfellow often called Puck is associated intimately with May Day, with it being a sacred day to him and his favored people Chimney Sweeps. Over time his role fell to Robin Hood AKA Robin Wode, who served as godhead for both Robin Goodfellow and the Corn Giant Wode opposite Maid Marion.
The May King and Queen's divine union is so old that no one can say wherefrom it originated, though the May King is often tied to a Wild God reminiscent of horned gods and the Green Man/Jack in the Green.
The King is Dead Long Live the King.-TLK

The May Queen by Margaret Macdonald 1900"I must gather knots of flowers and buds, and garlands gay;
For I ’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I ’m to be Queen o’ the May".- Excerpt from The May Queen by Lord Tennyson

Robin Hood and His Merry Men Entertaining Richard the Lionheart in Sherwood Forest by Daniel Maclise
"Robin Hood and Little John, walking through the forestLaughing back and forth at what the other one has to say
Reminiscing this and that and having such a good time
Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day"-Roger Miller

Robin Hood; Green Man and Godhead
Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor his origins shrouded in mystery.
Robin Hood is a continuation of ancient customs, gods and of course memories of heroes who fought against the many conquests of Great Britain.
His most obvious antecedents include the Green Man & Robin Goodfellow. Robin is a first name often given to Gods or Spirits in British Mythology, he is also tied into the Fertility giant Wode as Robin is also known as Robin Wode AKA Robin the Mad, a figure of the Hunter God he is tied to Herne The Hunter.
Robin Hood and his Merrie Men were so popular that the traditions of them superseded the Church, forcing local bishops to have people representing Robin Hood and Little John ride with him through town just to have people show up.
Robin Hood is a common character among May Day customs which continues the ancient role of Wild Fertility & Hunter God complete with his marriage to Maid Marion The May Queen. -TLK

Neale Aethelwulf Rundgren an artist whose subjects focus on the wonder and majesty of the Hyperborean Ethnic Faith, has completed his latest in an impressive line of artworks.
The piece featuring a vast, ethereal landscape where standing stones are plentiful but few are magical. Where a lone adventurer stumbles upon one of the standing stones which still possesses magic hosting a white tree of ethereal beauty.

The key to survival is the Goat.
It requires huge pendulous balls, courage bordering on stupidity, the ability to adapt as the environment changes and the creation of a close family with many offspring as splendidly stubborn as their progenitor!
Be the goat!
