Time to bloom | Spring Equinox
Time to bloom | Spring Equinox
The earth with its mysteries and deep love, is always ready to show us the wisdom and magic that is inherent to our existence, she, the earth, is ready to wake up from the deep and restful sleep of winter, that time of symbolic death, which allows her to take strength to cover herself again with her best clothes, her skin will begin to wake up, will be covered with flowers, fruits, dances and songs; caressed by the warm golden rays of the sun, we can fully enjoy the kindness of spring.
This precious moment of cosmic alignment gives us the possibility of living a moment of perfect balance in the experience of the archetypal duality, since day and night share equally their duration, and little by little the light will begin to gain ground to the darkness, giving us warmer and warmer days.
For ancient men and women, it is the moment when Quetzalcoatl, the precious serpent, symbol of the vibrant essence of life, manifests himself; the Mayans call him Kukulcan.
Spring takes us back to our childhood, so, it is a time to live and look with deep innocence the beauty of life, letting the sweet rays of the sun caress our skin allowing our soul and heart to open to life as flowers, becoming part of the cycle of nutrition and splendor; it is a time to green with the earth and together reach our fullness, it is also a time of rebirth, a space to live and experience the fertility of the internal and external world.
In all cultures or traditions this is a crucial moment, it is a ritual and sacred day for this victory of light over darkness, and no matter what beliefs or practices we each have, it is a time to live diversity and nourish ourselves with it.
Etymologically, spring speaks to us about everything that is growing, astrologically the sun enters the sign of Aries which is associated with beginnings and fire.
What we sow in spring we will harvest in autumn, therefore, I invite you to consciously look at the seeds you deposit in your heart in this cycle, if you are starting a new project, take care, water, accompany and prepare to enjoy its fruits in the next period, this will synchronize you again with the cosmic and natural rhythms.
Duality and contradictions will never be completely resolved, it is the magic of the life we live, this constant dance between light and darkness that gives us inner wisdom and makes us live an infinite range of emotions, everything has a reason to be, every cycle, every season, every emotion. Experience yourself fully and celebrate every day your perfect imperfection.
Do not miss the opportunity to perform a ritual or symbolic act that allows you to honor the light that illuminates us and your inner light.
‘The equinoxes are times to nourish the spirit with feasts and harness the changing energies of the cosmos, for, there are rituals of the elements and feasts of the times.’- Aleister Crowley (Alchemist and philosopher).
