Historical and archaeological evidence suggests ancient pagan and polytheist peoples varied in their cultural observations; Anglo-Saxons celebrated the solstices and equinoxes, while Celts celebrated the seasonal divisions with various fire festivals.

Today marks the Spring Equinox - the first day of spring and a moment of perfect balance between light and dark. May your days be filled with warmth, intention, and gentle illumination as the light returns.
