Beltaine
by Tara Sutphen
Beltaine is the “Celebration of the Light”,the light time of the year. The dark time being remembered by Samhain. May 1 is the day in the middle of the spring and the summer equinox’ (15*Taurus). May Day is the time for love and the happiness of summer on it’s way.
Beltane | Beltaine is a celebration of the union of souls, The union of minds, and the union of bodies. The earth mother calls her progeny to replenish the earth. Flowers decorate hair and everywhere. Maypole ribbon dances, with two circles interweaving around a decorated tree or pole, clockwise dance circles. Bonfires or candles to spark the sacred fire of union and fertility.
Druids and Pagans raised the Beltaine fires on hilltops on May Eve, the fires were lit in order to bring the sun’s light down to earth. Earth awakening from it’s long winter nap and the flowers are in bloom and frolicking abounds. Joy alights your body, mind, and spirit, the colors become brighter, you see the best in everyone, casting away all worries and doubts you collected over the winter time.All nightmares become daydreams of love, hope and harmony.
Beltaine or Beltane is an anglicization of the Irish “Bealtaine” or the Scottish “Bealtuinn.” — “bel,”brilliant”, “tene” “fire”
Things to do on Beltaine alone or with a group
Create a Beltaine circle or group
Buy or Pick flowers
potluck
maywine (alcoholic or non alcoholic)
Candles, Fireplace, Bonfire — Lighting a fire with a blessing
May pole (you can use a tree if you don’t have a pole) garnish w. greenery and flowers – tie long ribbon
If you create a May pole, make lots of wishes while you walk clockwise into your future, and at the end of wrapping the ribbon say a blessing for yourself and end with “to love and be loved, So it is”. If the tree/pole ribbons pretty and sturdy enough you could leave until Samhain.
Some of the questions that you can ask your friends or family are:
What were the highlights in your winter? Everyone must come up with at least one if not several highlights. What are the dreams to enliven your spring and summer? Every one should convey their intentions for the summer.

Full Worm Moon
By Tara Sutphen
The Full Worm Moon (Native American) at 8* Libra will culminate, March 28, 2021 11:48 am pacific | 2:48 pm eastern (Farmers Almanac).
Moon phase details (mooninfo) for Sunday, March 28, 2021. • Moon Phase: Full Moon – 18:50 UTC ↓. • Illumination: 100%. • Moon Age: 14.71 days. • Moon Angle: 0.54. • Moon Distance: 367,787.102 km. • Moonset: 07:07:39. • Moonrise: 19:04:17.
This Libra Full Moon is a Super Moon which means it is closer to the earth so it appears brighter. The theme of this moon to really look deeply into yourself and decide to make your life more meaningful and to dust yourself off and appear shiny. Making intellectual choices over emotional ones.
You’re to look at the more meaningful aspects of life with respect. Instead of casting any doubt, you are to think for a moment to what is innately good in the world, it can be a simple thought such as the world is covered in flowers. Peace can permeate your mind with self-worth.
It’s the human condition to self sabotage. Some more than others; but it’s not about what others do, it’s about what you do. How you wrangle your mind. How you face your challenges. How you create your story. Life isn’t a riddle unless we allow it. We have to remind ourselves every day to think clearly and concisely. Hold our tongues and our judgements and concentrate on our healthy well being instead.
Humans are on reset: what do we do and how do we go forward. We all have a tool set and competence. Maybe you are missing pieces of your success formula, your health regime, deep wisdom, extra knowledge or your love techniques.

Spring Equinox, Ostara, Eostre, Easter, Vernal Equinox
By Tara Sutphen
Spring Equinox is March 20, 2021 and marks the mid-point of the Waxing Year, the nights and days are balanced once again; the time when Kore, (Persephone) was believed to have returned from the Underworld where she had ruled throughout the Winter. The spark of light, born at Winter Solstice has reached maturity, and from here onwards, the days progressively grow longer than the nights.
Western culture proclaims this the first day of Spring. Older traditions called the Spring Equinox, Ostara; the time of the festivals of the Grecian Goddess, Eostre, and the Germanic Ostara, both fertility Goddesses of Dawn. These influenced the naming of the modern-day Easter Holiday. New greenery bursts forth from sleeping seeds in the countryside, as metaphorically, pagans also plant their own seeds for future goals, future projects and growth at this time. Decorated eggs, being symbols of fertility are symbolic of Ostara.
In days gone, Europeans gave gifts of decorated eggs to new brides, in the hope that they would bear many children. Similarly, bowls filled with eggs were given to farm workers by the farmer’s wife, to ensure a rich harvest. Most all cultures see the egg as a symbol of Life; the actual home of the Soul. In Russia, decorated eggs are still given as gifts to loved ones and buried in graves to ensure rebirth. The women gathered the eggs only from hens which were around a rooster and decorated them, allowing no one to watch them work as they transferred the goodness of the household to the designs on the eggs, thus keeping evil away. Dyes were mixed to secret family recipes and special blessings placed on each egg.

Full Snow Moon
By Tara Sutphen
The Full Snow Moon (Native American) at 8* Virgo will culminate on February 27, 2021 12:19 PM PT / 3:19 AM ET (Farmers Almanac).
This Snow Moon reminds you to look in the mirror and admire yourself. You are the scientific progress of Gods best human specimen, you are a living miracle. Hold that thought. Remember you have come to earth to be the best you. Are you holding up well. How is your intellect, emotions, physical stamina these days. You might wonder how to concentrate on what you need. What are your innermost desires. Looking deeper into your yearnings. If you don’t feel you are living up to your potential, you need to start making slow and steady changes to enhance your mind, body, and lifestyle.
When it comes to strengthening the mind, it’s not about dulling it down. People confuse themselves with all sorts of sidetracking. You can collect medicines, bad foods, superficial ideas, sleep deprivation, incompatible people and many other influences.
Changes usually are simple and natural. Don’t wait until it’s too late to make uncomplicated choices to fix your life. Feeding oneself is not only about food. For the brain, it’s about ideas and wisdom. We reason to make rationale and sound choices. We might have an idea of what our existence should look like. But is it matching how your life is occurring day to day. You generally know what you don’t want, there are guidelines to achieve what you do.
What are some of the solutions you could come up for yourself in fixing what isn’t working. Change happens with a psychological choice and follow through. To gain respect you must be respectful. To gain knowledge, you must study. To gain wisdom you must be insightful. To be healthy in every way we must follow the path of grace.
Journal Questions:

——Become a person with inner depth. Virtues are cornerstones to building a strong foundation. Be sympathetic on yourself, which may mean you have to be strong enough to let your ego rest and actually be willing to develop and round out some of the cardinal virtues.
