Ostara – The Spring Equinox – Vernal Equinox

20-23rd September Southern Hemisphere 

20-23rd March Northern Hemisphere

As the Earth awakens from her winter nap, signs of new life are everywhere; new leaves are sprouting, birds are gathering materials for their nests, the days are getting warmer and longer.

When daylight and darkness have reached a point of equal length, this marks the Spring Equinox, also known as Ostara, Eostre and the Vernal Equinox. 

This festival is believed to have originated as early as 3000BC,  Ostara  marked the beginning of the agricultural year when preparation and planting of crops would begin.    

This is a time of harmony, balance, fertility, new beginnings and new life.

Consider what you would like to create in your life over the coming year and what you need to let go of in order to create space for the new.

Glastonbury 2011

In June/July this year I was fortunate to spend a few weeks in England, 10 days of that on Imramma with Lucy Cavendish and Jo Byrne.
Here are some pictures from Glastonbury

The Chalice Well, an ancient holy well and sacred healing gardens which lies beneath the Tor

A gorgeous garden nestled around the streets of Glastonbury

The view from the cafe where I ate the most delicious vegetarian lasagna for lunch

The view from the Holy Thorn Tree to the Tor

The Holy Thorn Tree, vandalized in 2010, this sacred tree is linked to the beginning of Christianity and is said to have sprouted from the staff of Joseph of Arimethea.
This tree is sacred to Christians and Pagans alike and thankfully is starting to re-sprout.
The ribbons represent the wishes of the many pilgrims who come to visit this beautiful place in Glastonbury

The spout of the Red Spring at the Chalice Wells, enriched with Iron

The Tor, beneath the Tor are Faerie tunnels as I lay on the grass I swear I could feel a rustling from beneath the ground, which reminded me of an egg which is just about to hatch. This sacred place is the site of power ley lines including the Michael and Mary lines.

Isis - the Egyptian Goddess of Life, Fertility and Magic

Isis is an Egyptian Goddess, she was the first born daughter of Nut - the Goddess of the Overarching Sky and the God of the Earth Geb.  

Isis was portrayed as the ideal wife and mother, a family orientated woman who taught home life skills to women across Egypt; Isis was a loyal and dedicated, a powerful healer and Goddess of Magic.

Isis increased her magical powers by placing a serpent in the path of Ra (the Sun God), the serpent bit Ra.

Isis promised to cure Ra if he shared with her his magic name. 

He resisted but as the poison started to take effect he knew he had no choice but to share his name with her.

Isis's husband was her brother Osiris, who was killed by their brother Set(Seth), Isis searched to find the body of her dead husband, when she found Osiris body she used her magic to breathe him back to life. Osiris and Isis are the parents of Horus.

Working With Isis

Invoke Isis to breathe new life into projects and relationships; she will help you with developing your healing skills and magickal knowledge.

As an Underworld Goddess she  can help us with the De-constructing and releasing of things that no longer serve us - relationships, negative attitudes, poor diet ect and assist people/animals in their transition from life to death.

Sunshine Meditation

The sun is an essential part of life. Without the sun there would be no warmth, no light,
and no life. The sun is our natural source of vitamin D which is essential for strong and healthy bones, stimulates certain hormones and enhances our feelings of happiness and well being.

Choose a time of day where the sun is not too strong, morning or evening is ideal, either outside in a partially shaded area or a sunny room inside .

Sit or lie in a comfortable position in the sun, close your eyes and feel the warmth of the sun radiate  throughout your body.

Notice the colours that appear in your mind’s eye. . .

Mentally scan your body noticing any areas of your body which appear dull
or aching or in low energy.
Feel the suns energy pulsating through these areas harmonizing warming and
clearing all stagnant energy.

Bring your attention to your feet, and each of your toes, wriggle your toes and
feel the sun radiate throughout your feet.

The warm and cleansing energy then flows to your ankles, up your calves,
thighs and to your hips.To your pelvis, abdomen, all your internal organs . . .

Feel yourself feeling perfectly relaxed and in harmony with the ground, the sun and you

Now feel the suns energy warming your shoulders, arms , elbows, hands and fingers, wriggle your fingers in the sun. 

The sunlight swirls around your neck and throat – your face, mouth and scalp, brain and hair.

Feel your whole body relaxing and being in perfect harmony with the sun and the ground beneath you.

Feel this energy extend out beyond your physical body into your aura.

Bring your attention to your life, is there any areas which are dull, lifeless or filled with regret, sadness or depression?

See the sunlight radiate into these stagnant areas, cleansing and clearing new life into your life. 

This light brings new possibilities.

Allow yourself to just be for a few minutes.

Slowly come back into the now, wriggle your fingers and toes and open your eyes.

Note - While the sun has many benefits, appropriate precautions must be made to protect yourself from sunburn.
