The snow is melting, but it will be back. It's teasing us. Soon it will warm just enough for all of the weeds to once again grace my flowerbed with their green leaves poking through the soil. But not yet. Winter is not yet done with us up in Michigan.
NOTE: Sections that do not have content in the page will link to the main page for that section until content is added for that section, so you may see the section page frequently.
Ostara
Where has the time gone? It's hard to believe as I clear the ice off of my car on a daily basis that it will soon be Spring. All too soon it will be time to plant seeds for the coming harvest. Light will overtake the dark and the days will stay lighter longer. And yes, the tradition of painted eggs has already birthed large displays of dyes, stickers and egg wraps in all of the grocery stores. Ostara, the Vernal Equinox, is upon us already.
Be sure to explore all of the great Vernal Equinox information we have available on the site. A good place to start is our Wheel of the Year Ostara page over in the Spirituality section. From there you can find articles on the holiday including recipes and ritual, word searches and children's stories related to the Vernal Equinox.
Want to involve your children more in your ritual? We have several great articles about that in our Magick & Ritual section.
Here's a couple of my personal picks for Spring related children's books. Spring : An Alphabet Acrostic by Steven Schnur is a book of poems about Spring, beautifully illustrated. Spring's Sprung by Lynn Plourde is a delightful story about Mother Earth and her squabbling daughters - March, April, and May. Spring Equinox, The : The Greening Of The Earth by Ellen Jackson is all about the signs that Spring has arrived.
Amazon Books
I've tried to put links to Amazon.com books that are relevant to each section and story, so if you intend to purchase a book from them please link to their site from this one so that we can get a commission to help support the hosting of this site. I'm an independent consultant and am trying to keep all of my web sites in order. Every little bit helps.
Even if you don't purchase one of the books I've featured, if you know you're going to make an Amazon purchase please click through our site to make your Amazon order so that this site will get a small commission. Every little commission contributes to another month's hosting for the site!
