Magic and Meaning of Equinox
Spring Equinox
The seasons change while the Earth continues its journey through the space and time. Spiritual art of our ancestors and their Rituals at the Equinox time, honour the balance between light and darkness.
Some teachings of esoteric wisdom say that during this time the veil between the physical world and other worlds opens. This is a good time for meditation, prayers, rituals and offerings. The equinox occurs twice each year, around 22 March and on the 21 December.
