Welcome pootie, woozle, birdie and general critter lovers to a special (day after) Holiday Edition of the Wednesday PWB Peeps diary. This is a diary to relax, share pictures and stories about our animal friends, and to build community. Come on in and join us... |
Twice a year, on the solstice holidays, Basement Cat and Ceiling Cat are locked in mortal combat over the Light. At summer solstice, Basement Cat prevails and the light starts receding ... gradually at first and then more quickly until the light and dark are equal.
Then finally, on Winter Solstice, ceiling cat prevails. At the midpoint between Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox, the memory of
basement cat began to fade ... and now Spring has arrived with daylight extending into the evening and the early morning hours.
Spring is about hope and new beginnings, for babies and for love. Enjoy some puppy and critter kisses as we celebrate this year's Spring Equinox.
Look out!!! This one's for YOU!!!
Ancient Mysteries solved!
The vernal equinox or Ostara is one of the eight pagan festivals or "sabbats" from the Wheel of the Year. It is a "quarter day" along with the solstices and the autumnal equinox. This festival celebrates the Goddess returning to her Maiden aspect and brings the promise of new beginnings. To all my pagan friends, "Bright Blessings on Ostara!" And to everyone: plant the seeds of love and caring so that your harvest will be worthy of your spirit.
