KOSMOS eBooklet: Spring Equinox, Easter, Ostara

Experiencing the seasons mindfully and consciously connects us with the forces of natural rhythms. Burning incense at the winter solstice, in early spring on Candlemas, or in midsummer on St. John's Day, gives us energy and brings us to our own center – we detach ourselves from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The heaviness of the dark season, sluggishness, and uncertainty are overcome. The times for reflection, pause, and doubt are behind us. We say goodbye to the "ghosts" of winter, the oppressive thought forces that often accompany the dark months. After the "winter sleep," outer life, saturated with increasing sensory stimuli, determines the daily dynamic. With the spring equinox begins the time of creativity and purposeful action. Intentions, ideas, plans – even the smallest changes on the wish list – can now be implemented very well. The stirring seed of the soul within us wants to unfold.

With a description of the Celtic-Germanic and Christian roots, tips for modernizing the Wheel of the Year festival, and examples of suitable incense.
