Is Spring Here? Or Just Around the Corner?
Merry meet! Today as you might know is Imbolc, also called Oimelc, an ancient Celtic festival celebrating the beginning of spring and the traditional date on which ewes and other farm animals gave birth. You may also be familiar with the festival’s modern equivalents such as Candlemas, Groundhog Day, and St. Brigid’s Day. Whether you mark it as the midpoint of winter or the beginning of spring it’s generally been regarded as the time when the cold begins to thaw and life renews itself.
We’ve gathered all of our relevant articles from the past month as well as a bunch of other interesting stuff from around the web. We hope you have a very pleasant spring!

@MsLauraPerry #MinoanTarot 🌊 It is time to change and heal, but both ways start inside of you, just like the water trying to flow around the world, to clean and nourish the fields and woods 🌍
💫 Seven of Rhytons • the water comes to clean the roads, just as the rain comes to nourish the fields.
The lies tend to accumulate on top of each other like small rocks in a pond, as long as you don't let the water run from inside the water will not take long to get dirty.
In our environment we are seeing that the force of change is seeking to manifest itself in one way or another, but it requires your visualization, your real intention, and your actions to get it to flow like water, once you take action on those aspects of your environment that you are avoiding to move, the change will flow like the water that comes to clean, purify, beautify.
If, on the contrary, you sit and wait for everything to happen, you are going to be seriously disappointed, the change of a community depends on the specific actions of each of its individuals, like fishes in the pond waiting for new water.
💫 Sacrifice (XII) • everything comes for a reason, everything comes with a price.
Change is mandatory, change implies growth, understanding, evolution, sacrifice of those old patterns of behavior and thinking that are no longer useful to us.
The water nourishes the seeds in the fields to end up forming a great tree, as well as the water that nourishes, everything that comes into your life comes to nourish an aspect of you that needs to grow, and many times it also requires releasing, leaving to go. Sacrifice requires maturity, and sacrifice is made to bring something back.
Neither you, nor your environment, nor your country, will be able to change while you sit and wait for the change to occur. It is time to let go of the old belief that "change comes from outside and we must adapt to it", and seek ourselves to be the change we seek to see.
😌 let the change start from inside out, let the change flows, embrace the change, be the change, be the water that nourish the fields.
