Celebrating Spring: Eat, Drink, Be Merry

Celebrating Spring: Eat, Drink, Be Merry

So many reasons to celebrate Spring. The sunshine, the longer days, the opportunities to dine and play outdoors–without masks! And for the first time in over 30 years, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Hindus and Baha’is will celebrate their spring holidays at the same time. Ramadan, Passover, Easter, and Vaisakhi are overlapping for the first time since 1991. Purim, Naw Ruz, Vesak…

The Spring Equinox of 2019!

Im celebrating the spring equinox for the first time this year so here’s what I’m doing:

Write a wish on a piece of paper, the spring equinox brings about change and new beginnings so I suggest making a wish about learning and growth with the hope of accepting the changes to get there.

You can definelty make a wish however you want!

Make sure you’re only using biodegradable supplies when burying!

1. You’re going to want to boil an egg

2. Take a seed of a tree in which you hope to grow 🌿

3. Bury your seed in a desired place ( you can use a pot if you’d like as long as you mean to transplant to the earth in the future)

4. Dig a hole in the earth and around the hole place your offerings ( see bottom of post for suggestions on offerings)

5. Place the egg with your wish and cover it the rest of the way

6. Pray or meditate over your wish and thank whomever you need to in this time to ensure the wish to come true.

7. Cleanse yourself and any materials you’ve used under the full moon the night of the Equinox.

8. Crystals with warm colors are recommended for bringing the sun such as: red jasper, orange carnelian

9. Crystals with cool colors can bring peace such as: lapis lazuli , amethyst

10. Crystals that are white for purity and cleansing such as: selenite and clear quartz

11. Crystals for grounding such as: smoky quartz and bloodstone can be used for connecting to the earth.

Tips on offerings:

Orange peels to welcome spring

Birdseed to welcome the fauna home

Lemon balm is an herb used to welcome spring

Lavender to bring peace to the land

White objects to signify purity and rebirth ( pick up any objects that will not bio-degrade! You can leave them as long as you feel the need within reason)

Fruits of any kind will satisfy Gaia especially apples for women (femine) and I use pineapples to signify masculinity.

Feel free to add any more!

Thank you all for celebrating the coming of spring and being respectful to the land you live on bless you all. 💛💛💛

My Spring Altar - I don't really celebrate Ostara, but I do sort of celebrate St.Patrick's day. Here in the US, like Cinco de Mayo is more a celebration of Mexican heritage than a celebration of the defeat of the French by the people of Puebla, St, Patrick's day has become a celebration of Irish heritage. During March, which is busy with birthdays and anniversaries, I like to do a low-key celebration of my Irish/Scottish roots around St. Patrick's day. (My mothers maiden name is Connor and her paternal grandmother, my great-grandma Rose, who I knew as a child before she passed, was a Dewar). I cook and get a nice whiskey or scotch and just chill with my hubby! We eat and listen to Celtic music and game and chill out! We tell stories and laugh and dance in the kitchen while we clean or cook! I plan on inviting my bro and sis-in-law this year! I set up my altar in three parts, and decorate with spring greens, spring flowers, Celtic knots, and other symbols of my heritage. This year I made a "crystal altar" of sorts and set my crystals and stone outs, to cleanse and charge at my leisure and by my salt lamp. In the middle I have my "heritage" altar. I need to get some Dewar scotch as an offering to my ancestors there. And the last third is my altar to the Good Neighbors, aka the Fae sidhe. I am still unpacking and looking for my fairy glass ball, aka seeing ball. She will go in the middle of that space. I just got a new offering bowl that looks like a leaf for that part of my altar. It's so cute! I really like how it all came together! A lot of my altar came from the Dollar tree over the years - the flowers, vase, oil warmer, altar clothes, Irish decor and a few candle holders came from there. There are a few things from thrift stores and yard sales. My crystals are from @bekkathyst's shop, mostly. Other things were gifts or came from my work (on sale and at a discount) or I got for free (like the wands I collected on walks) or I made. I really love my altar and I love how I didn't have to break the bank to get it how I want it! Have you are all having a happy spring, no matter how you celebrate it!

Happy May Day!

Happy May Day! Has the May Day celebration become extinct? May 1st is designated as May Day. I do not know if kids still celebrate May Day by wrapping ribbons around the Maypole like the one we used to do when I was growing up, but the nostalgia of the event was unforgettable. It also gave us the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the weather. The original purpose of May Day, the Maypole, and…
