Oops, I forgot to announce the Vernal Equinox yesterday at 5:32pm UTE... The Sun has now crossed the equator and is heading our way.

Blessed be.

Sorry! Vernal = spring UTE (Universal time) = GMT

So at 5:32pm BRITISH time the sun crossed the equator giving all places on Earth equal day and night. The upshot is you will really start noticing the lengthening days now! Hooray!

Witches celebrate the equinoxes and solstices as minor sabbats, so I'll be dancing round the garden skyclad (butt naked) tonight! That's why 'blessed be' - it's a standard wiccan blessing.

If you are interested I'll write about the major sabbats for you!

And clear as mud in the 3rd paragraph - sorry...

A major part of wiccan / pagan belief is the honouring of the natural cycles of life, the changing of the seasons, the phase of the moon etc. Witches have 8 sabbats (festivals) in the year of which 4 are minor as I said before and the other 4 are major celebrations.

For the benefit of your nerves I don't do naked in public!

Happy Vernal equinox to you. Someone forgot to tell mother nature here in Dallas about it though. We got 5 inches of snow plus ice yesterday. Not fun.

Blessed be.

They don't call nature a mother for nothing...

Hope you get some proper weather soon - this year is so fouled up...
