Hello, All.

Went to a very nice Ostara circle Saturday night with my wife (who is
Pagan). I really enjoyed it.  Southern Illinois Pagan Alliance
(http://www.timerift.net/sipa), which my wife is a member of and the
founder officiated at our wedding, organized it.  It was fun and powerful
at the same time and we enjoyed it.  We were given these cute dipped
hard-boiled eggs to charge for the coming spring and everyone of us managed
to come out of there with our hands a brilliant shade of red, blue, green
or yellow (and all shades in between).

What was even better was there was a sly element of humor in it-the founder
(Tara, who was the high priestess for this) walked around asking the
Goddess to not let the spirit of the bunny rabbit enter her womb.  Everyone
(there were over 70 of us) busted up laughing and Tara's husband, Sean (who
was the high priest for this), sat there, looking very innocent.  Both of
them wore bunny ears for this as to inject a little more humor.

Needless to say, it was inside (it was a nice chilly 50 degrees with a
22mph wind blowing outside!) and we were warm and comfortable.  I enjoyed
it tremendously and felt great after leaving.  I have to teach Maura to
ground herself better-she was very awake when we went to bed that night and
said she felt restless. ;)

Did any of you do anything to celebrate the spring equinox?


Later,
Sean
