March Equinox & Creativity

Technorati Tags: march, equinox, angelsandancestors, spring, creativity

One of the longest periods of time as winter draws to a close, seems to be the period between February 14^th and the official day of spring, March 21^st. Everyone tires of the snow and the cold – except perhaps the skiers – and everyone wants it to warm up.

We do not differ very much from our ancestors in the northern hemisphere. In the Norse tradition, the indigenous people called out to Sol (or Sunna, Sunne) to ride in her chariot higher and longer and bring about the change of the seasons. In ancient times, the Sun was female because she was associated with birth and the creation of plants in the spring.

By association, Spring Equinox became known as a time of creativity. All new projects were started in spring. Tilling and planting and spring house cleaning were all about tearing up the old and making way for the new. Spring is the time for creating! It can be ceremonial instruments – rattles and drums. Or, it can be a time for birthing ideas, building homes, barns, or creating new designs. When the Sun returns to the Earth in the spring, it is about renewal. The March Equinox is a great time to examine your life force and vitality. Does it need to be recreated? Do you need to clean toxins out of your energy fields and your body? The Sun is about illumination. Is this the time to take courses or start a project on something that you have always wanted to do? Go for it! A great quotation is, “You might say the Sun is symbolic of our ability to direct our will and to have a sense of purpose,” – Melissa Osborne. The Equinox is a time to delve for and retrieve your earth mission or sense of purpose. The great thing is that the things we have always wanted to do, those things that have called to us but that we never answered, are the very things that will help us go easily on our journey. May you fly swiftly like the pigeon, have the view of the eagle, and the agility of the hummingbird as you welcome in Spring.

Namaste, Judy and Roger.   (See more on www.angelsandancestors.com)
