Pagan Lore with Karen Szabo
Sunday, March 16
The annual Hindu festival of Holi is held in India on this date to celebrate Spring and to commemorate the burning death of the child-eating, she-demon known as Holika. On this date in the year 1946, J.Z. Knight, the famous spirit channeler for the ancient entity known as "Ramtha", was born in New Mexico.
Monday, March 17
On this date in the year 1893, Eileen J. Garrett (a gifted medium, psychic, and founder of the Parapsychology Foundation) was born in Ireland. At a young age, she began experiencing visions of the dead. She was granted United States citizenship in 1947 and she founded her own publishing house (Creative Age Press) and magazine (Tomorrow, a journal of paranormal phenomena). She established the Parapsychology Foundation in 1951, and wrote numerous books under the pen name of Jean Lyttle. She died in France on September 15, 1970.
Tuesday, March 18
In ancient times, the Pagan fertility-Goddess known as Sheela-na-gig was honored annually on this date in Ireland. With the advent of Christianity, the identity of the Goddess was altered from heathen deity with oversized genitalia to the consort or mother of Saint Patrick. On this day in the year 1877, psychic and "absent-healer" Edgar Cayce (also known as the Sleeping Prophet) was born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. He was renowned for his psychic visions and miraculous ability to accurately diagnose illnesses and prescribe remedies while in a self-induced trance. He prophesied the Second coming of Christ in the year 1998, followed by cataclysmic changes of the planet. Edgar Cayce died on January 3, 1945.
Wednesday, March 19
The Akitu, an annual Babylonian New Year festival celebrating the marriage of Heaven and Earth, begins on this date and lasts for ten consecutive days. In ancient times, Greek theatrical performances known as the Uban Dionysia began annually on this date in honor of the god Dionysus. They continued for five consecutive days. Also, a festival called the Lesser Panathenaea was held at this time. It was dedicated to the Goddess Athena. Sitala, a Goddess who reigns over smallpox and death, is honored on this day in India as part of the Hindu New Year ritual.
Thursday, March 20
On the first day of Spring, the Spring, or Vernal, Equinox is celebrated by Wiccans and Witches throughout the world. Spring Equinox (which is also known as Festival of the Trees, Alban Eilir, Ostara, and the Rite of Eostre) is a fertility rite celebrating the birth of Spring and the reawakening of life from the Earth. On this sacred day, Witches light new fires at sunrise, rejoice, ring bells, and decorate hard-boiled eggs--an ancient Pagan custom associated with the Goddess of Fertility. The aspects of the Goddess invoked at this Sabbat are Eostre (the Saxon goddess of fertility) and Ostara (the German goddess of fertility); in some Wiccan traditions, the Green Goddess and the Lord of the Greenwood are worshipped on this day. Like most of the old Pagan festivals, Spring Equinox was Christianized by the Church into the religious holiday of Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. On this day, an annual Spring Harvest Festival was celebrated in ancient Egypt, along the banks of the River Nile, in honor of the Mother-Goddess and the enchantress, Isis. This day is sacred to the goddess Fortuna, the Morrigan, the Norns, the Three Fates, and the Three Mothers (Lakshmi, Parvati, and Sarasvati). It is also the Rosicrucian New Year.
Friday, March 21
On this date (approximately), the Sun enters the astrological sign of Aries. Persons born under the sign of the Ram are said to be courageous, intelligent, impulsive, and aggressive. Aries is a fire sign and is ruled by the planet Mars.
Saturday, March 22
On this date in ancient Rome, uprooted pine trees were curried through the streets of the city by the devotees of the cult of Attis and taken to his sacred temple as part of an annual ritual (Procession of the Tree-Bearers) to mourn the god's demise.
I want to take a minute to wish each and every one of you a most blessed and joyous Ostara! See you next time with more Pagan Lore,
Karen
Knocking at the Greenman’s Door
By Stephen "Wolfsong" Spellane
A young boy ran through the forest,
There were rocks and trees to explore.
It was the first time in this life he came knocking,
Knocking at the Greenman’s door.
Through all his youth he returned,
In summer, snow, or spring thaw.
Whenever he could; he came knocking,
Knocking at the Greenman’s door.
He brought his love to see him,
His heart on his sleeve he wore.
But she could not understand his need to go knocking,
Knocking at the Greenman’s door
But then one day his love left him,
Though eternal love she swore.
To renew his soul he again came knocking,
Knocking at the Greenman’s door
Now once again he is one with him,
And tells tales of forgotten lore.
Until one last time he comes knocking,
Knocking at the Greenman’s door

Sparkle and Shine with Sosanna
This is one of the times of the year when Christians and Pagans tend to get their panties in a bunch. Around Christmas/Yule we are inundated with the “Keep Christ in Christmas” and “You stole my holiday” memes. Most of course are well meaning people who really are not trying to blast someone’s holiday.
We have to remember that the time around the Spring Equinox was something that was celebrated by all sorts of people. Some of those celebrations were morphed into others and the customs and rituals moved along a path of assimilation. Not the Borg type, but more so the melting pot style. Everyone adding a little bit from this culture to that culture and eventually have some that everyone participates in a little without so much of the holiday around it.
Halloween is another example of this. Around this same time period is All Saints, All Souls and Day of the Dead. Easter/Ostara is just another in a long list of days that cause people to get their nostrils in a flair.
As we look at the icons for this even it is easy to see what exactly it is all about. We have bunnies, eggs and seeds. Obviously this holiday is all about celebrating the first step in the circle of life. This is birth and fertility. In some cultures the bunny was used in a similar way that Santa Claus is used for Christmas. He would deliver gifts of colored eggs and candy to drop off to good children. As a bunny is also quite famous for the large litters in early spring it was good fit all around.
Decorating eggs predates Christian traditions. Decorated eggs have been found in Africa and Egypt. The Christian church officially added the egg as a symbol of the resurrection in 1610 by Pope Paul V. -Eggs are decorated by people of all walks of life, and are often not related to religion at all. Some of the most famous and most expensive Easter Eggs are the Faberge Eggs. Made by Peter Carl Faberge from 1885-1917, 50 Imperial Faberge eggs were created for Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicolas II as Easter gifts.
Looked at as a time to celebrate birth, spring is generally the time when nests are fully of chicks and our seeds are making their first peek above ground. I like to use this time of year for cleaning. You guessed it, spring cleaning. Along with getting the yard ready for the crops coming up, this spring will be a new beginning for me on the artistic front. This is the first year for firing up my kiln. My goal is to have created several pots and censors for ritual work and even some salt pigs for the witchy kitchen types to fire. To get ready for this we’ll be cleaning out the studio, opening the doors, sweeping out the winter webs and open up for the bright sunshine of new life.
Over the next few months I’ll continue to update my Throwing Thursday blog posts but also add photos to my Of Pots and Pigs board on Pinterest. - http://www.pinterest.com/rreneeolson/of-pots-pigs/

Saga's Spirit with Loren Morris
I thought that I would show pictures from the last year that I dyed my eggs naturally. I don't dye any now. My children have all grown out of dying eggs, so now I just paint them. On the last year that I did dye the eggs, I believe it was 2010, I just used items that I had in my home already. It was a last minute decision, I didn't get elaborate with it, but Brev and I had fun. It can be a fun family togetherness thing and bonus, the kids can learn from it.
I just boiled the item that I was using, strained it, added some white vinegar, and let the eggs sit overnight. The only one that I had to leave the item in the water with the egg was the spinach. My favorite of all of these is the red cabbage. I love that beautiful blue color that it made. Word of warning: you cannot eat the eggs, they will taste like what you colored them with.
I've provided some links at the end for more information.

There and Back A'hen: Just a Bunch of Clucking Nonsense with Melissa "Chicky" Cassick
Ready, Set, WAIT!
We have all been talking about it here.
I've heard what people are saying.
I know you are all plotting. You’re contemplating, planning, and arranging.
And I want in, damn it!
So yesterday, I sat down and sketched out my garden, too.
Two things must ye know about this “Wise Woman”:
1.I grew up in the country
2.I now live in the city
So this makes a lot of grandiose gardening schemes rather an impossibility.
Our entire plot of land is less than a quarter of the size of my mother’s vegetable garden. She also had raised rose borders, annual beds, and lilacs and mock oranges that could make you weep with beauty. I don’t have room for that sort of thing. I have managed to encourage a few lilac bushes along our north fence line, to create a natural screen between our neighbor’s yard and ours. You haven’t seen cute until you have seen our neighbor’s gigantic pit bull bury his nose in lilac blossoms and come up grinning a big slobbery dog grin.
I have a small border between my driveway and our other neighbor’s fence. I have successfully grown tomatoes, peppers, leeks, peas, and one memorable summer, a stalk of corn! Last year things didn't do so well, there, though. We had sufficient peppers, but our tomatoes never ripened at all.
Contractors took out most of the overgrown bushes in front of our house when they installed siding and insulation, and the following spring the gas company was kind enough to complete the maiming of my yard when they installed a new meter. Brian and I pounced on the opportunity to try something different there, and instead of putting in new shrubs, we put our herbs there instead. It was a hit! I have never seen basil and sage grow so gargantuan. I have more German thyme hanging on my drying rack than I will ever need. The success of my wee green buddies in that spot has led me to decide that my vegetables need to go there this year. We will dig out the border to twice the current width, and install a trellis just under the windows for the peas.
That will leave an empty border, which is rife with possibilities. My inclination is to create a berry bramble – I have visions of gleaming jelly jars and delicious pies. I also will be spreading out my grape vines – I planted them too close together because the space they needed wasn't ready for them yet, but prepping it will be first priority this spring. My tomatoes and basil are sprouting in their seedling pots in the kitchen, reaching out greedily to the sunlight that appears earlier and stays longer with every passing day. Everything is ready to grow!
Meanwhile…
I sit inside, pencil in hand, watching the snow continue to fall.
Mid-Air Moxie with Adelina Soto Thomas
“If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.” –Steve Jobs
At the time of the Vernal Equinox, we welcome the return of the light and warmth of Spring (I sure know *I* do!). We are ecstatic in the coming period of great fertility and growth that is before us! So, what are YOU going to grow this season? This is a time of planting seeds in our lives and we now focus on what we want to grow which will nourish our spirits. There is a simple tool that you can use that will create the energy and inspiration to assist you in reaching whatever goal you choose to set: a Vision Board.
Vision boards are a collection of words and images related to a central theme. In this case, in thinking of what you want to manifest in your life this season, the theme is all about YOU! Vision Boards can be very simple or elaborate and it all depends on what it is you want and how you choose to put it together. There are a number of online resources that can help you create a digital Vision Board and places like Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, blah, blah, blah where you can display them. If you choose to actually make a physical Vision Board, you can do so with things you find around you in your very own home. They can be displayed in any room at home, at work, and even in the car. You can make a Vision Board on a single piece of paper, by utilizing a poster board or bulletin board, grabbing an artist’s canvas of any size, cardboard, wood, plastic or even use your refrigerator! Yes, I did say, refrigerator! I shall explain…
When many of us were kids, we would bring home a picture we drew or some test we took and our mom promptly displayed it where? Yep, that’s right….the refrigerator! That fridge door represented one of the earliest versions of a Vision Board. How? Because with that picture, that grade, that photo or whatever was prominently displayed gave us a sense of confidence and pride which we wanted to recreate. It was important to our parents and to us and we worked for the reward of having our efforts displayed on that fridge door. Seeing it before us every day was a reminder that sooner or later, we needed to continue our efforts to get what we wanted. It motivated us in a way few other things could. So now, we as adults can understand how the simple concept of visual cues can help us to direct energy which is the very essence of spellwork. It is following the Law of Attraction…that which we create and can visualize can be manifested and drawn into our lives. Are you ready to get started? Let’s begin…

Sunshine's Meanderings with Kathleen Lane
In trying to decide what to write about this time, I did a bit of research on Salus. She was a goddess I had never heard of and I found the information about her fascinating. Salus was one of the oldest of the Roman goddesses and was traditionally associated with health and well being and for the Romans, with cleanliness. I found similar goddesses in a number of cultures and all of it brought me around to spring health but some route only my peculiar mindset could explain.
My grandmother was a great believer in that most vile of all tonics.....sulphur and molasses. I used to dread spring for that very reason. If you are among those fortunate people who have never been subjected to that concoction, count yourself among the lucky. Yes, I know it was good for me in many ways, but to this day, the taste of sulphured fruit makes me gag. The molasses was the only saving thing about it. It was strong enough flavored to sort of cover the sulphur.
We used to gather dandelion greens, violet greens, and rhubarb stems and other early spring herbs, boil them in water and strain them. My grandmother thought they improved digestion and purified the blood in addition to providing a charge of nutrition.
Once I grew up and got interested in herbal treatments, I discovered that Gram knew what she was talking about. After a winter of minimal sunshine, few fresh fruits and vegetables, those tonics provided a burst of much needed iron, vitamin C, etc.
The Magical Gardener with Johanna Lawson
Before we get started, I would like to thank Kallan for inviting me into the kitchen of The Sunday Stew. I am honored to be in the company of such talented “chefs” and so excited about sharing my joy of gardening magically with all of you. Some of you may already know me, others may not. I am a longtime solitary witch, walking an eclectic path of many traditions. I am a blogger and published writer, my work included in several Pagan anthologies.
I began my journey into gardening with just a few potted herbs on a sunny windowsill several years ago and gradually branched out into my own backyard, which is now a certified backyard wildlife habitat and soon to be certified pollinator garden. In December of 2013, in what seemed like the natural next step on my path, I became a Master Gardener through the Penn State Extension Master Gardener Program. Nature is my church, my classroom, my friend, and my passion. Now, with the introductions out of the way, let’s play in the dirt a bit, shall we?
My intention with this column is to take you through the week-by-week practical tasks of the garden as well as the magical work to be done there. We will travel through the wheel of the year together as our gardens grow each Spring, delight us with beautiful fragrant blossoms and delicious herbs and vegetables through Summer and early Autumn, and then die back in Winter to be reborn again. I will offer helpful hints on how best to care for your garden, no matter where it is or what size it may be, through cultivating, pruning, and mulching.
I will show you ways to help your local environment with native plants, rain barrels, compost piles, pollinator habitats and integrative pest management (sounds scary, doesn't it?). You will become very acquainted with the moon and Her phases and how they affect what you are doing in your garden and how moon signs influence the weekly tasks of the garden. You will learn how to listen to your plants. (Yes, they will talk to you! Of course, you will talk to them too.) We’ll invite faeries to live among our flowers, create an elemental balance in our gardens, hug trees, and celebrate sabbats with dirt under our nails and Mother Earth in our hearts.
What I do not want to do here is to alienate anyone who does not have the space for a garden. To those people, I say that the smallest plot of land, the sunniest windowsill, a wall or a roof can become a place to garden. If even those options are not available, perhaps you can become involved in a community garden or volunteer at a local park in need of a little love.
I also do not want to tell you that you MUST plant this tree or that shrub or you MUST use this seed supplier or that nursery. That is not my purpose here. What I will say is to garden as organically and as native as possible. It is best for you, best for your plants, and best for the environment. There will be no complete outlines for garden spells or rituals but rather ideas to help you formulate your own. We all practice our spirituality and magic differently. This is what connects us to our gardens and all in it. It helps to create magical bonds with them and aids in their protection when needed.
So, we’ll begin next week with some early Spring practical and magical gardening fun. With Ostara, the first day of Spring, only a few days away, take some time to start thinking about your existing garden or the one that you would like to start. Jot down some ideas for your garden and place them on your Ostara altar to allow these ideas to “germinate”. Place seed packets or a few seedlings upon your altar to bless them for the growing season. Make a phone call to a local state park or community garden organization and volunteer for some Spring clean-up and planting. Start Spring thinking of new beginnings, new growth and new possibilities.
A Blessed Ostara to all! And Happy St. Patrick’s Day too!

Tiffany's Gumbo with Tiffany Newson
It's springtime! Finally!
The sun is out longer, it's warming up and the pollen is flying. Yea, that last one can stay out my way. I have terrible allergies and am allergic to most allergy meds so I just stay indoors and look out my window at the beautiful buds.
Since I'll be stuck indoors, I do lots of crafting, decorating and cooking.
Dip dying eggs, finger painting, making construction paper weaved baskets, baking sugar cookies, and changing over linens and fancy plates.
Despite not being able to actually go outside I send the kids out to play with the neighborhood kids. I have them (really Nene because you know, Amir is only 19m) tell me about the geese and birds that are flying in and color pictures of the new plants.
We really don't do anything super fancy as in a fancy dinner or special ritual. We just enjoy the sun, or rain, and look forward to the new things coming our way.
This year has truly brought new beginnings, challenges, and additions. As one season ends and another begins I can't wait to see what the Universe has stirring to reveal.
Pawsitively Witchcraft with Tiffany Dovich
That being the case, the majority of us pet owners add pet grooming into our spring cleaning fun. Luna ( my 7 year old boxer) is a prime example of the need to clean. Luna, being a white boxer has the amazing ability to find mud in the unlikeliest of places. I could put this dog in a glass box and she would find a way to get dirtier or smelly.
 |
| Who, me? |
Why is that important? Well, it goes like this. We, as pet owners put our pups in a viscous cycle. We give our pets baths because they stink but they smell because we give them baths! When we use a commercial or chemical based shampoo we are stripping all the natural oils out of your pet’s coat. Those oils are super important to not only your pet’s fur but their skin too! This is why sometimes after you give your pup a bath and then they go outside they end up stinking up the place when they come back in. It’s the oil glands in their coats going into overdrive trying to replace and stabilize the ph balance of their coats. (If you’ve ever gone the no-poo route for your own hair then you are familiar with this process. Same thing applies to pets!) Stripping these oils can cause all kinds of problems for your pet, from nasty doggie odor to itchy skin and coat, and even doggie dandruff!
So back to the stinky puppy problem, after much research and experimentation I came up with …….
Drum roll please………..
My super amazing Clean Dog Herbal Bath Powder!
This super soothing formula not only makes your pet smell good and their fur soft but actually helps restore the ph balance of your pet’s coat!
Although I can’t share my super top secret formula here, I can give you a super easy recipe with only two ingredients for you to use at home! It won’t smell as amazing as Clean Dog Herbal Bath Powder but it will make your pup’s odor vanish faster than you can say “Bath Time”
Easy Peasey Bath powder for pets!
1 cup powder oats
1 cup baking powder
That’s it! Just baking powder and powdered oats!
Mix these two up pretty well, now at this point you can either add water and mix it up like some kool-aid and then pour over your pet while working the mixture into their fur or you can take some powder into your hand and apply to wet fur and scrub. Kinda of like how you use Comet! Scrub that puppy down! Scrub down your pets legs and pay attention to their elbows and legs. Then all you have to do is rinse well and dry!
Don’t feel like making your own? You can always order Clean Dog Herbal Bath Powder from our website here.

Weekly Horoscopes from DarkStar Astrology
The Weekly Divine with Kallan Kennedy
Kallan Kennedy is a professional tarot/totem reader with more than 20 years of divination experience. She offers private readings to her clients via her website, Secret Services. Specials on readings are running through the month of March. Subscription plans are available.
Tarot: Four of Wands
The 4 of Wands is all about rejoicing and good times. Four, in the Tarot, generally speaks to stability and firm foundations. Harmony, balance and happiness after a time of struggle or hard work has been completed. This is one of the happiest cards in the tarot deck, and it speaks strongly of general good fortune and well-being.
Given that this card comes for the week of the Spring equinox, it seems appropriate that we can rejoice at the end of the harsh Winter, and celebrate our 'survival' and prosperity with family and friends. Enjoy this respite, and remember that life is cyclical. Even the worst of times do not last. Rejoice and bask in the glow of harmony this week!
Totem: Frog
Key words: Transformation, Shamanic Healing, Cleansing
In some parts of the U.S., particularly in the South, the sound of frogs singing has already begun. For me, it isn't really Spring until I hear the frogs at night. They usually begin their song at the beginning of April, but in warmer seasons, they've been known to show up in March. Not so, with this kind of winter. So, I'm hoping that once the equinox arrives, I can count on the sun's proximity to move that cold weather along.
Frogs have a rich mythological history to them. There are frog legends and stories in nearly every culture on the continent.In North America,
Frog sings the songs that bring the rains to make the plants grow and cleanse the earth. Water is the home of the frog, and thus it is with those who carry this totem. Water represents emotions, healing, and life-force.
Frog medicine people use water to support and heal where needed. Those who carry this totem are said to have a special magic that can connect them to the weather. Many shamans carry frog medicine. Frog is the totem of metamorphosis and coming into one’s own creative power.
Frog people usually have strong ties to their mothers. They are also very sensitive to sounds, and have unusual taste in music. Their voices are usually very pleasant as well. Frogs are associated with the Spring and Summer and herald times of abundance. Frog will teach you how to connect to the element of water and use it to heal yourself, others and the earth.
