I'm Just Gonna Leave This Here....

Don't Call It A Comeback....

    It's pretty inevitable that at some point during the day you'll fall down the rabbit hole that is Youtube. That was me a few hours ago. I tripped and fell into the Youtube vortex but this time, instead of finding kitten and prank videos, I discovered this gem from the people at Vice. It's fascinating and worth the watch. Also, check out Vice when you have the time. They're offering great new programming and there isn't a Kardashian in sight.

  The Greeks Who Pray to Zeus: VICE INTL (Greece)

"Even though Greece is a predominately Christian Orthodox country, there are some people in this country who still believe in the 12 Gods of mount Olympus, deriving from Greek Mythology. According to unofficial sources they amount to a couple of hundreds and present themselves as members of the unofficial so-called "Greek Religion". This is a mixture of beliefs that combine paganism, the idea of spiritual connection with nature and a kind of fixation to the Ancient Greek ideals. Over the past decades they have founded various different groups, the oldest and most popular among them being the "Greek Nationals High Commissioned Council (GNHCC) - Υπατο Συμβούλιο Ελλήνων Εθνικών," founded 30 years ago."

Happy Spring!!!

Blessed Ostara/Spring Equinox and Happy First Day of Spring!!!

     Ostara is a time of renewal and rebirth.  Mother Earth is beginning to awaken and shake off the cold of winter.  Plants begin to push their way out of the dirt and the animals get frisky. Also the Vernal Equinox is going on. Today the light and dark are equal and the days will continue to get longer leading up to the Summer Solstice.  It's a time for new beginnings, renewed commitments, and putting plans into action. Spell work pertaining to fertility, abundance, balance, and new endeavors are done around this time. 

Ostara Activities:

1. Stop pretending there isn't a monster living in your closet.  Do some spring cleaning.  De-clutter your home, give the place a good scrubbing, organize the closets and show the monster to the door.
2. The yard looked o.k. during the winter because the snow was kind enough to hide the weeds. Do some yard work, plant some flowers and get good and dirty.
3. Yes the Sun is up and no you can't go back to sleep.  The time to hibernate is over. Go for a walk or hike and say hello to nature. 
4. By the Gods, what is that smell?!?!  Open the windows and let some fresh spring air in...please. Smudge with white sage and/or burn a little incense. 
5. Fill the house with fresh flowers. If you snag them out of your neighbors yard make sure no one is looking. 
6. Give Oomancy a try (divination using a raw egg). If you don't receive any messages at least your halfway to an omelette.
