Spring Equinox
First day of Spring, this is a time of a great sense of energy and promise. Time when the Goddess is feeling and exploring her strength and beauty. Equated with Easter in the Christian Calendar. Painting Eggs are also a way of celebrating this Festival. Spring Equinox is a time for Fertility and Increase in Creative Projects. Planting of flowers, trees and herbs with blessing that dedicates each planting to the Goddess in her aspect as Maiden. Good time to meditate under a tree. Best time to consecrate the Chalice.
