Eostara; Spring to Life

This week on The Spiral Dance we celebrate Eostara; The Spring Equinox Astronomically, the Equinox occurs on Wednesday, March the 20th. We'll be talking about the history of Spring Equinox - the role that it has played in cultures down the ages: So, we'll Norse Goddess Eoster - in fact I have a special poem just for Eoster. Plus ya can't talk about this time of the year without mentioning Rabbits & Eggs; and, of course, the Balance of Light and Dark. The Spring Equinox marks the point in the solar year when day and night are of equal duration, and the daytime once again becomes longer than night. In Pagan mythology it marks the time when The God, who was reborn at the Winter Solstice, is now coming into young adulthood and is - awakening to his sexuality. I hope you enjoy this week's show!
