In The Odyssey when Odysseus enters Hades, the Greek afterlife to find the prophet Tiresias, he sacrifices a ram and a ewe.
The deceased come forth, thirsty for the recently spilled sheep’s blood, but Odysseus refuses to let any other entity approach until Tiresias drinks and delivers his prophecy.

“Honour, riches, marriage-blessing,
Long continuance, and increasing,
Hourly joys be still upon you!
Juno sings her blessings upon you.”
–Shakespeare, The Tempest, A4, S1
Juno is Roman goddess of marriage, childbirth and she keeps watch over all aspects of the feminine life cycle. This month is named in her honor and is seen as an ideal time to tie the knot.

Our people seem to carry that natural characteristic of innocence and wonder about the world with us.
It starts from conception and for most of us, remains a part of who we are until we pass into the next realm.
We maintain that childlike outlook and it is not until we are influenced by cityscapes, multiculturalism, modernity and other non-Hyperborean ideals that we fall out of sync with our natural selves as people of the North.
The art we create, the music we make, our lore, and our environment bring to life the way we see and interpret the world around us.
It is puzzling that we are hated for bringing beauty to an otherwise desolate world, but this becomes clear after realizing Hyperborean culture is the most sought after by other jealous tribes bar none.
