Time to celebrate the blót. Freyr, Freyja, Frigg and Thor will be worshipped once again. The light grows stronger, stealing minutes each day from the darkness. Eostre has stretched out her hand over the earth, generating warmth and life that is beginning to spring forth. Ostara, the spring equinox, is in front of us. Honestly, this time, I don't even recognize it. These are strange times, nothing is as it should be. Everything is out of place. The winter has been dry and warm. The rain has not fed the earth during her rest. The sun has shone brightly day after day. The forests needed rest, but have not found the time. Everything has started to bloom so soon.... The trees have barely bared their branches, when little buds glow on their bodies. The air has been warm and dry. I've missed the cold, wet wind of winter. I've missed seeing the white peaks. I'e missed watching rain for days behind the window. I've missed the calm and looking inward into the darkness of winter... Everything is different, everything has changed. I still don't want to move forward, I need hibernation, the real one. But the wheel keeps turning, and one way or another the equinox is here. We are so disconnected from our roots and our surroundings that the land that saw us grow no longer recognizes us. We have so much abundance that we have stopped appreciating the true value of things. Stop for a moment, just a moment. Take a deep breath, look around you and feel it. Feel what is happening, feel how the blót should be celebrated, honor the abundance and fertility gifted to us by Freyr and Freyja, lovingly guard the wisdom and knowledge of Frigg's legacy, revere the strength and bravery of Thor defeating the giants, make an offering to the earth to reconnect with her. This is not a normal equinox, perhaps we must help that which has brought us this far, help the force that has pushed the wheel since time immemorial to continue to do so. We have come out of the cycle, and we must enter into it again. And guess what??, I've found that it's really easy to do. It's really satisfying. It's beautiful to do it, and it makes you feel really happy. Blessed Spring Equinox!! Blessed Ostara!
