Ostara is a holiday that celebrates the spring equinox and the return of longer, sunnier days. One fun fact about Ostara is that it is named after the Germanic goddess Eostre, who was often depicted with a hare or rabbit. This may be where the tradition of the Easter Bunny comes from, as the Christian holiday of Easter often falls close to the time of Ostara.

#Easter is one of the most important #holidays in the #Christian calendar. It commemorates the resurrection of #JesusChrist, which is considered the cornerstone of the Christian faith. However, Easter is more than just a #religious observance.

Michigan has had a few 50°+ days in a row. I suspect a snowstorm is due soon. #Midwest #springequinox #michigan

Last Tuesday, on the vernal #SpringEquinox 2023, at dawn as we observed the sunrise at the geographical centre of the #EuropeanUnion, we founded the #EuropeanIdealistMovement to create a new type of political party to decisively handle the 3 main challenges facing humanity: (1/6)

Happy #Ostara everyone! Yesterday was spent in celebration with sacred plants. I have touched grass and I hope you have too!

I'm planning on doing a creative content dump in the coming days, but in the meanwhile, I'm looking for other #bards and #poets who are cool that I'm a #transhuman #TechnoPagan doing an art project on the unification of humans and machines via AI #DawnOfTheMachineElves dedicated to #TerenceMcKenna

Terence McKenna was a major proponent of rave culture. Some people just gotta make some noise and get some attention! It's fine to recreate rave culture in your living room, so long as you can pay off your neighbours not to call the cops ;)

Overall, I'm a huge lover of art and nature.

Pip & trump: Yesterday a friend connected with me for a quick Spring Equinox/ Mabon reading.

She was so delighted that she was kind enough to let me share.

"What's the meaning of spring for me now?" She wondered. "How can I engage with spring?"

8 Swords & Fool! "Gaiety & music," I replied. "Spring's the time to leave those dreary, February thoughts behind. It's a beautiful day! What would happen if you went outside & danced?"

She laughed. "I haven't danced in SO LONG," she said. I smiled back. "Time to give it a try!"

"So joy," she mused. "It seems so frivolous with everything going on today. Can I really just surrender to it?"

Knight Wands comes stepping by..."Don't turn away from it," I urged. "Keep your eyes upon it! Try actively engaging with delight.

You may find accepting joy reveals a bright Italian garden in your forgotten center; a gentle wisdom transporting you towards timelessness."

"Ok," she beamed. "I'll try joy."

Spring equinox traditions with a touch of modern. I am inspired, as always by Gather Victoria.

I wish there was a word for when you look out the window and there are clouds of water, some may call it violent mizzle, travelling horizontally across the fields.
Yet the weather forecast & rainfall radar show nothing 🤷‍♀️
Will be fun shifting a ton of compost into the garden today 😲
Happy #SpringEquinox
