The symbols spring up and surround us- eggs, rabbits, flowers, buds, and new seedlings appear to mark the Spring Equinox, Wheel of the Year, Persephone Rising, Aries Season, Astrological New Year, Blessed Ostara, Easter… Whatever holy day you celebrate, The Spring Equinox is a beautiful reminder that life is ever-changing and filled with endless possibility.
Growth ۞ Rebirth ۞ New Beginnings
The Earth is in balance, stirring, blooming, marching towards the sun. Let’s sing from our hearts, and put our hands in the fertile soil.
For this ritual, I’m suggesting some journaling, planting, and creating a crystal grid you can leave overnight on the night of the New Moon on Tuesday March 21st.
💎Now, close your eyes, take a deep breath, quiet your mind, then choose the crystal(s) that feels right for you for this Lunar cycle.
This is a potent time to set new and clear intentions and move forward, reinventing yourself and life.
🌿What are you hoping to plant and nurture this season?
A native ritual is to plant something, and the timing is perfect- under the energy of the New Moon. It may not be time to got plant outdoors but consider bringing ritual into planting something in a pot. Plant your intentions along with the seeds, alongside the energy of the season. Select the seeds, soil, and vessel with hope. Collect some Bay Leaves from your spice drawer. Mindfully punch a hole in the soil, and do as Natives have done for generations. Write down your intentions on each Bay Leaf and place it in the soil, within the inner layers.
Speaking of Natives, another ritual is you can place some of the seeds in your mouth so they can marinate with your true Nature and the intention of what you may not be able to verbalize, promoting synergy and alchemy of your DNA with the seeds to be placed in the soil. If the seed isn’t safe to digest or your uncomfortable with that ritual, spit on the soil upon burying the seed within the soil for good luck and good nature. Amplify your relationship with Mother Gaia. For all our waters and fluids are sacred.
Another ritual idea, like holding your crystals, hold bird seed, speak your New Moon Spring Equinox intentions out loud and into them, then sprinkle the seeds in your yard and feeders and watch the birds fly in and take them away.
✨What are you releasing and letting go of? Write it down and imagine it washing away in the spring showers.
The time has come to reflect on the past and let go of old patterns and habits that no longer serve our grater good.
🌀During this season, we honor these energy shifts that Earth and the Universe faithfully turn us towards year after year. For when we stop seeing time as linear, feel time as cyclical, bring ritual into our lives, and honor our relationship with Mother Gaia, we invite our mind, body, soul, and consciousness to sync with more ease, grace, healing, awareness, and love.
Spring has sprung, and in most parts of the world it is time for clearing out the old to make way for the new. There are many ideas about how to do that, but I enjoy coming back to honoring the New Moon phase, selecting crystals and jewels, journaling, and intention setting as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life and of our potential for renewal. The first day of spring, the equinox, and the New Moon always offers a sense of optimism and an acknowledgement that new beginnings are possible regardless of past events.
