Happy Ostara/Spring 2011 to everyone, Have a Blessed Day!
Just got done cleaning, warming up my spiral ham and Lasagna, deviled eggs,
veggies and a beautiful cake my daughter made and waiting for family to arrive
My baby plants are enjoying the suns rays on my sun portch and just getting a
few minutes to relax and see how everyones day is going?
We had a beautiful ritual last night with friends for the Full Moon and Ostara
Celebration, thank you for inviting me, food and friends what more can anyone
ask for!
Stop in when you get a chance, share stories, poems, photos, anything you
like and tell us how your Ostara/First Day of Spring is?
Love and Happiness to all

New Beginnings Spell

New Beginnings Spell
Now is a time of new beginnings becoming visible, hope and inspiration dancing into being. Take a white and a black candle, and place them in front of you. Light them, and breathe in the glow that comes from the balance of light and dark. Speak this verse as you bask in the glow:
Wakening Earth,
Shake off your slumber
Feel the sunlight.
Kore has returned,
Spring has begun.
All is possible,
Everything awakens.
Pulses quicken, Rivers flow,
As each and every creature knows.
Excitement fills each brook and stream,
Creatures living in a dream.
Energies bursting from the ground-
Magic, Prana, And possibility all around.
Now awakening,
My powers are strong and true.
Surrounded by new life,
New visions are coming through.
Maiden goddesses dance
To each bud’s joyous opening.
I am replenished,
Like the baby chick,
I am not finished.
Like the flower bud,
My powers are opening.
I am becoming,
My creative power
blossoming.
The promise of life is
fulfilled, Spring has returned,
and we are renewed.
What I initiate now
Grows quickly,
And balance is easy.
So mote it be.

Today's Goddess: OSTARA Themes: Fertility; Rebirth
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411

Today's Goddess: OSTARA
Themes: Fertility; Rebirth
Symbol: Egg
About
Ostara: The Teutonic Goddess Ostara presides over personal renewal,
fertility, and fruitfulness. Not that spring is here, it's a good time
to think about renewal in your own life. Ostara represents spring's life
force and earth's renewal. Depicted as lovely as the season itself, in
earlier writings she was also the goddess of dawn, a time of new
beginnings (spring being the figurative dawn of the year). One of
Ostara's name variations, Eostara, slowly evolved into the modern name
for this holiday, Easter.
To Do Today: All spells and foods that
include eggs are appropriate today. If you've been ill, try an old folk
spell that recommends carrying an egg for twenty-four hours, then
burying it to bury the sickness.
To improve fertility of all
kinds, make eggs for breakfast at dawn's first light, the best time to
invoke Ostara. As you eat, add an incantation like this one:
Ostara, bring me fertility;
with this egg now bless my fruitfulness!
Or,
if you're feeling down and need a little extra hope, get up before the
sun rises and release a symbol of your burden to the earth by dropping
or burying it. Don't look at it. Turn your back and leave it there. Turn
toward the horizon as the sun rises, and harvest the first flower you
see. Dry it, then carry it with you often as a charm to preserve hope in
your heart.

Indian Poet Ramakrishna
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411

She is mad, her lover is mad, and I am mad for loving her!
This world is bewitched by the lovely Goddess.
No one can describe how lovely she is, how glorious,
how perfect her gestures, how sudden her moods.
Her lover, poisoned with love for her, calls out her name
endlessly, singing Kali's name over and over and over.
Life has its currents, cycles, tides which ebb and flow.
She looks upon them all with equanimity.
Nothing is opposite in her mind: not life, not death;
not love, not hate; not the self, not the void.
Your raft, the poet said, floats upon the sea of life.
It drifts up with the tide, and down with the ebb.
But the goddess is there. The Goddess is always there.
~Indian Poet Ramakrishna
On this day, when light and darkness are briefly equal, before the light grows and swells and
carries the world into summer, it is good to meditate upon the ultimate
falsity of all divisions. Kali, the fierce Hindu goddess, reminds us of
that truth: that existence is not bound by our false dualities. There is no light, no darkness in Kali's world. What she offers us is not a gray mixture of black and white, but a paradoxical world in which both
exists in all moments, at all points, in all ways. Life is both pain and pleasure, love and hate. Kali is beyond both, but includes both.
Meditating upon Kali is one of the great traditions of Hindu India. The paradoxes and mysteries she expresses are almost beyond words, though great poets like
Ramakrishna have spent lifetimes trying. As the sun dances briefly in
her perfect balance, let us join the poet in marveling at the power of
the Goddess.
