Thank you, OESY! I have been trying to figure out what that ‘bulb’ is above Wm. Wordsworth’s poem. Do you know?
The energies are very power at this time! You might want to meditate, ask for guidance in dream time before going to sleep, or visit a place with powerful energies that match your grid matrix for healing and balance.
Modern astronomy aside, people have recognized the vernal equinox for thousands of years. There is no shortage of rituals, celebrations and traditions, personal and universal, surrounding the coming of spring, especially at power grid points around the planet. Many early peoples celebrated for the basic reason that their food supplies would soon be restored.
The date is significant in Christianity because Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. It is no coincidence that early Egyptians built the Great Sphinx so that it pointed directly toward the rising Sun on the day of the vernal equinox. Some view this transition as a victory of a god of light (or life, rebirth, resurrection) over the powers of darkness (death).
The monoliths at Stonehenge, mark the position of the rising sun on the Vernal Equinox. In Central America the Ancient Mayan Caracol Tower and Temples of the Sun and Moon also have alignments that coincide with the sun's position on the Vernal Equinox. In China they celebrate Chunfen on the Vernal Equinox.
In ancient Europe they celebrated the arrival of the goddess of spring, Ostara, or Eostre, on this day. Many historians believe the Christian holiday Easter gets its name from Eostre, as she had an enchanted rabbit that could lay eggs (metaphors of creation, the rabbit died, egg).
