Did you know that many cultures still celebrate the New Year at this time? One of the best known is The Persian New Year Nowruz which will be celebrated on March 21st.
Think about it, The Spring Equinox is a time of new beginnings and new possibilities. A perfect time to begin anew. Makes sense to me. And if it weren’t for The Romans changing the calendar in 45 BC, we too might be celebrating a New Year at this time.
The days are longer. The air feels fresher (even if it still is cold). The energy of hope and new possibilities is palpable.
It is Spring. Actually, the official date starts Saturday March 20th, when we experience almost equal amounts of day and night as the sun passes over the Equator. Happy Autumn Equinox to those of you in the Southern Hemisphere!
Especially after being in lockdown for a year, I love the idea of a New Year just as the earth is waking up and there is a feeling of new beginnings.
Spring New Year Ritual
Light a candleto welcome in Spring.
Quiet your mindby counting to four as you breathe in and counting to four as you breathe out. Slow deep breaths.
Now ask Spirit, What would enrich my life this season? Write down whatever comes to you.
Toground this energy, take some seeds and go outside.
Spend some time connecting to the Earth energy: touch or sit under a tree, walk in the grass, breathe in the air, engage all of your senses.
Plant or sprinklethe seeds in the earth and visualize how each seed holds potential life.
See your projects growingwith these seeds being nourished blessed and protected by the elemental powers of the goddess and know that new life will begin.
