Ostara


Celebrate the balance of light and dark as we welcome the Spring Equinox. This day signifies balance but also the beginning of days with longer days than nights. Mother Earth gives birth all over the world to buds and sproutings and even here in the north we at least know there are many stirrings beneath us as the sap rises in the Maples. There are many traditions surrounding this time of the year, so celebrate yours -- or create your very own tradition!

I plan to light a candle before dawn and balance an egg on its end! Also, as fortune would have it, I have a writing workshop to attend tomorrow that I've been looking forward to. And it will be a lovely day for the two-hour drive to reach the location where it is being held! In addition, this coming week will be one of fasting and cleansing for my body. Rejuvenation!

As is normal for us, I expect our Sunrise Forsythia will be the first blooms we see on the property. Last year, the 'Sunny Sisters' were in full bloom by April 21st -- I expect to see them earlier this year.
