Why Celebrate Equinox? This long Winter is Over! SPRING IS HERE! The vernal equinox, or Ostara, is a time of equal hours darkness and light. This is a powerful time to notice the balance points in your life. Has some vital part of you gone dormant over this long and difficult winter? What is longing to be revitalized, reborn, longing to come alive again? |

This is a festival of fertility waking.
From here on the days become longer than the nights.
The young sun god is taking up his weapons of manhood;
We are not only stepping into the light,
but putting behind the darkness of the past six months.

Winter is over, and spring has arrived,
As we do every 6 1/2 weeks,
this turning of the seasons offers us an opportunity to source our own wisdom
as we connect with the natural world,
and seal our intentions with the transformative power of fire.

By watching agricultural changes–such as the ground becoming warmer, and the emergence of plants from the ground–you'll know exactly how you should welcome the season.
How will you mark the coming of Spring and the fertility of the land?
As plants bloom and new life returns, the theme of resurrection is ever present.
By the calendar the Spring Equinox fall at a specific point each year around March 21-22.
A great many of its traditions have been taken on by the Christian Church and blended into Easter, a word that itself stems from the Saxon goddess Eostra,
having the same root as oestrus and oestrogen.
This is a powerful time for the feminine in you to rise!
In preparation for the Spring Equinox observance, you might ask yourself:
What stirrings in you are awakening?
