How do you celebrate Spring?
Spring is fighting her way in...this is a photo I did last year to celebrate Spring...
For me, my past was always a celebration of Easter since my parents were practicing Catholocism at the time. But underneath that was always a truer celebration of Spring, the animals and flowers and joyousness at the re-birth of Nature. My family continues to celebrate with non-Easter but Eastery sentiments... chocolates, flowers, spring images and if they are energetic - egg ornamentation. I used to LOVE the egg decorating... As a Neopagan adult, Spring is much more an inner celebration and an outward devotion. I am so full of gratitude to witness the beauty of Nature in Springtime, that my heart sings and my eyes sparkle with that Joy....
But tell me about you!!!

Every year my family and I usher in Spring with Easter Egg decorating, egg hunts, and a huge family picnic. Then later on the same night I light a white candle and watch it burn down while all around me the essence of nature fills me with pure joy. After the candle burns out I thank the Mother for renewing life once again.

Sy - Thanks for this... your memories bring back more of my own. My father and I would play hide and seek with the colored eggs many times in a day... It turned into a "whodunnit" of the best egg hiding!! I won the most fantastic egg hiding spot. It killed the contest tho, becuz nothing after that could reach such a high peak!! I have to talk to my Dad about that soon!!!
Much appreciation,
Rebecca

When I had my house I celebrated the spring in earnest. I tilled up my gardens... and started my plantings outside as soon as the earth warmed. Since I live in the "land of frozen people" I started growing seedlings indoors. I also clean and get ready for the warmer winds. Every night I would sit outside in my screened in porch and offer up praises to the Goddess for bringing life back to the earth.
That has been missing since I have moved to an apt. I still haven't found something to replace it. Although my neighbor is planning on tilling up soil in his yard for a garden this year and offered to let me help! YAY. I can hardly wait to get my hands into the soil again!!!!

Growing up, Easter meant the resurrection of Jesus Christ. there was a sunrise service at my church, followed by an easter program.
Now that I'm all grown up, I still celebrate Easter this way, but I plan on welcoming the spirit of spring along with it. I will be thankful for being able to see the newness around me. I will also be trying to clean and enjoy the fresh air.
