MoonDay Musings: Spring Awakening
Oak leaves unfurling The March equinox — vernal or autumnal depending on your locale — is a catalyst for a different relationship between Father Sun and Mama Earth, as the sun’s position shifts in the sky.

Celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day
The feast day celebration of Saint Patrick outside of Ireland has morphed into a curious mix of marketing — green beer? shamrock shakes? Irish tacos? leprechaun jokes? — along with "the wearing of the green" for celebrating one's Irish heritage. And yet Saint Patrick was not Irish, but certainly is recognized now as one of… Continue reading Celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day

Ancient Síle na Gig carvings (source: Google) On March 18th, celebrate your female sexuality and sensuality and the Divine Feminine on Síle na Gig day.
