Spring Equinox
Spring Equinox 2010 Another year has passed by since the last Spring Equinox many things had happened on this planet. Some things may look frightening and scary but this is all a process of letting go of old pattern that are grounded in fear. This spring equinox is going to be a special one as with the new energies of this equinox we are coming closer to the manifestation of peace and harmony on this planet. This might look like Utopia if we look at the State of the planet, but this is all a process the entire planet is going through. The process of finding Unity and the complete realisation that we are one and all connected on this planet and with the entire universe. With other words we create the one heart again. The tradition of the celebration of the Spring Equinox is an ancient of many cultures including the Western Culture. The Goddess Ostara is one of the Goddesses that are celebrated in this time. I like this old tale that I would like to share with you . Many hundred years ago, a small girl was wondering when the cold weather would disappear and the new growth of spring would come. She had a walk in the woods and found a poor little bird that was totally exhausted and malnourished. She called upon the Goddess in her grieve and the Goddess appeared and healed the bird, but the bird was too weak to be a bird again and so the Goddess transformed him into a hare. This hare instantly laid colourful eggs in the most beautiful colours and patterns. The Goddess said to the little girl. From this time on this is my promise that I will not forget the spring and each year when you find these colourful eggs you know that spring has come.
I think in this year most of us can understand how our forefathers felt in long winters. The coldness, and all the good but also problems a winter can bring . For our ancestors it was vital to prepare for winters in order to survive. Food storage was getting low and the land did not gave much to live from. The return of the spring was always a time of hope and new beginnings like the cycle in nature.
Preparation before the celebration I would like to suggest to prepare for this new beginning with decluttering your home and cleaning your home to wipe away the old energy and to be ready to let the new energy in. In doing so you declutter and cleanse yourself as well. It is also good to have a detox diet in this time where you can let go of all toxins in the body that may effect your mind and emotion on many levels. This is especially the case if you do eat fast and processed food and being a carnivore. Everything is energy including food. Perhaps also sit down and write down all the things you do not wish to carry along your path and burn the sentence either in a fire or a fire proved bowl. This will make you ready for the celebration.
