Heraios

the month of May - honoring Lady Lêta

According to the Delphic Calendar as presented on Pytho.Notion - Heraios (historically) is the month that most closely aligns with the month of October. However, due to Lady Lêta's association as the mother of all - and the fact that mother's day occurs during the month of May (in the United States) - the month of Heraios is celebrated in May to better align our worship with these associations.

Heraia was originally named in honor of Hera, a celebration held in her honor:

"The Heraia, is a celebration held in honour of Hera. Like all the occassions mentioned by the Labydae, the festival includes a banquet. In some regions, the Heraia featured women's footraces, suggesting it may have been a festival for the initiation of young women. Notable stories associated with Hera include the tale of Kleobis and Biton, two brothers known for their strength, who were commemorated with statues at Delphi for pulling their mother's cart to the Sanctuary of Hera."
