Equinox - greening up

Equinox celebration with the kids. We ran around the house cleaning cobwebs off the ceiling and dust from all the corners. We banged on tin cans and rang bells, we shouted, sang badly, and said "bye bye" to Winter, and "Hello" to Spring. After sweeping the dust and detritus out the front door, everyone got thier own stick of incense to cleanse the space so it would be ready for the new beginings. The girls insisted that we round the whole ritual off with ice cream; I didn't complain.
I must confess that the idea of new beginings is quite comforting right about now. The greening of the Goddess, the growing of the new self, all resonates quite beautifully for me today. Starting tomorow there is more light than dark. It's as simple as that.
