OSTARA
It is the Spring Equinox.
I have refined my paper on the Madyamaka and seeded it to see if it gets published. It is likely too long for the JRC (Graduate Journal of Religions and Cultures). Now to get back to the class I am truly hating and have been ignoring, Silk Road Religions.
I have finally drafted out the rough bits to my paper, been told a bunch of times that it is a waste of space and that there is nothing religious about tea on the Silk Road. I kind of want to scream at the narrow-mindedness and egocentric attitude of the teacher.
Today is about balance and planting positive seeds. I have still not had any luck apartment hunting, nor roommate hunting.
Being at Hemp Cottage is at least peaceful. We are going to decorate some eggs with the things we hope to achieve this year and the offerings we give to the earth. I get it now how we imbue them with power. And this year I see how the earth forces take them in and use that energy. My desires right now are very mundane and I know I just need to do legwork. So... Let my egg be one of gratitude for the life I have. Let it be filled with some quintessence to strengthen and heal this land that we might build better and sustainably upon it. Our eggs will sit in the seedling troughs till the snow is gone. So maybe next month they will get planted with the seedlings... or maybe in May. I put mine in the trough with the healing herbs and a little tea tree I hope will grow. I also planted a little mini momiji seed in my trough. I want to grow my own little momiji tree and make it into a bonsai. I have planted a seed every year for the last 5 years without success. Mom says that now that I have Awakened, I will likely see much better results.
HOLY CROW!
Mom has every right to say "I told you so" tho I am glad she doesn't. Life and Forces magical work and I have a teeny seedling! I want to take it home and name it! Oh wait... will Brighid eat it? She better not. I am totally taking it home and naming it.
This has been the BEST OSTARA EVER!
