I can't wait until Spring and having cabin fever very badly, I wanted to post this, but since this is a re-post of an article I wrote sometime ago I need to update the time Aries enters in March for the beginning of Ostara . This year the Sun sign Aries @ 1 degree will enter March 20, 2011 at 12:34 P.M. CST. Come on Spring! ~ Autumn >On Friday March 20th the Sun enters Aries @ 7:43 am. >>The beginning of new hopes, new beginnings, and new >>realationships. The Earth is rewakening! Its the seed >>sowing / planting sabbat, as well as a fertility >>festival. The day where Day and Night are equal and >>the days begin to grow longer. >> >>The egg has always been the representation of life and >>the rabbit is always seen as the symbol of fertility. >>This sabbat is about 6,000 + years old. And just like >>back then, today we continue to paint eggs and hide >>them, decorate our hearth and homes with the signs of >>life,Spring, and prepare a delicious meals for the >>sabbat. >>In Druid legends, an egg found on this day was a >>healing egg with very benefical powers especially when >>used in divination. >> >>This day is to celebrate life. So, on this morning >>rise with dawn and prepare yourself By clearing your >>aura, bathe to rid of negativity and or problems, >>meditate to regain focus as well as ground and center >>yourself, and wear your special clothes for Ostara. If >>your new and you don't have your special spot in your >>closet for sabbat clothing...that is a okay. Regular >>everyday clothes are fine as long as they are clean. >>If you haven't the night before, start cooking for the >>feast. >> >>This a great celebration for kids too because they can >>help bake and cook. Make special gifts, play games, >>story telling...etc. >> >>If you have a garden say a blessing for that garden >>and or feild. And bless your live stock too with >>fertility.

May >>everyone be happy and healthy and enjoy life to its >>fullest. >> >>Blessed Be, >> >>~ Autumn [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
