The Seasons

by E. F. Hayward

I love to watch the seasons change;
As Summer takes the throne from Spring,
So wonderful sublime and strange,
Each one its own sweet songs does sing.

It seems each one, in turn, is best;
Is gifted with some special grace;
Yet Summer fades, as have the rest,
And Autumn boldly takes its place.

This of the Four I hold most dear,
Would be content to have it stay;
But Winter comes to close the year,
And Autumn scenes must pass away.

Just so our lives; our childhood days
Are filled with joy, that’s ne’er forgot;
And he is wise who simply says,
“I love them all,” and murmurs not.

Celebrating the Spring Vernal Equinox: A Time of Renewal and Balance

Celebrating the Spring Vernal Equinox: A Time of Renewal and Balance

As the world awakens from the slumber of winter, the Spring Vernal Equinox marks the arrival of a new season—one that embodies renewal, growth, and balance. Occurring around March 20th or 21st each year in the Northern Hemisphere, the equinox is a celestial event where day and night are of equal length, symbolizing harmony between light and darkness. For centuries, cultures across the globe have revered this transition, celebrating it as a time of rebirth and new beginnings.

The Science Behind the Equinox

The word “equinox” comes from the Latin words aequus (equal) and nox (night), signifying the balance between day and night. This astronomical event occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator, causing nearly equal daylight and night time hours across the planet. From this point forward, days will gradually lengthen, ushering in warmth and fertility to the Earth.

Cultural and Spiritual Significance

Throughout history, the Spring Equinox has been a significant event for many civilizations. Ancient cultures aligned their festivals and traditions with the rhythms of nature, marking this day with rituals and celebrations.

  • Persian New Year (Nowruz): One of the most prominent equinox celebrations, Nowruz, meaning “new day,” is an ancient Persian festival that marks the start of the new year. Rooted in Zoroastrian traditions, it is observed with feasts, family gatherings, and rituals emphasizing renewal and joy.
  • Ostara – Pagan Traditions: In Wiccan and Pagan traditions, the equinox is celebrated as Ostara, named after the Germanic goddess of fertility and dawn. This festival honors the returning sun, fertility, and the rebirth of the Earth with rituals that include planting seeds and decorating eggs—symbols of life and renewal.
  • Mayan and Egyptian Alignments: Ancient structures such as Mexico’s Chichen Itza and Egypt’s Great Sphinx align with the sun’s movement during the equinox, demonstrating the deep astronomical knowledge and reverence early civilizations held for this celestial event.

Personal Reflection and Celebration

The Spring Equinox is not only a global celebration but also a personal opportunity for renewal. Many take this time to cleanse their homes, set new intentions, and engage in activities that promote balance and growth. Gardening, meditation, yoga, and spending time outdoors are wonderful ways to honor the season’s energy.

A New Beginning

As we welcome the Spring Equinox, we embrace the promise of new opportunities, growth, and harmony. Whether through ancient traditions or personal reflection, this day serves as a powerful reminder of nature’s cyclical beauty and the endless possibilities that come with each new season. Let us step forward with renewed energy, optimism, and a sense of balance as we journey through the year ahead.

Happy Spring Equinox and a joyous new beginning to all!
