The Day of the Spring Equinox is one of the ancient pagan holidays, which was celebrated by many peoples. This is one of the eight days of power a year, revered by sorcerers and magicians. At this time, nature awakens, the gods of the sun and spring descend to earth, conspiracies and rituals are filled with special power.
What happens on Spring Festival
On the day of the Spring Equinox, nature stands still for several hours, balancing between darkness and light, winter and spring. This is the time of awakening of the earth after the winter cold, when day is equal to night. It becomes equal parts darkness and light.
There was or is a similar holiday in almost every country in the world. It occurs on the 20th of March, usually the 20-23rd days of the month. IN Gregorian calendar The equinox and solstice fall on approximately the same dates year after year.
In many countries, March 20-23 is celebrated New Year, closely associated with the onset of spring. These are almost all states that stand on Silk Road– Iran, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and many others. The equinox was celebrated by the Slavs, Celts, Germans, and also, presumably, the Egyptians and the Mayans.
In European paganism, the Spring Equinox is dedicated to the ancient Germanic goddess of spring Ostara. It is called Ostara by adherents of Wiccan neo-paganism. In honor of the goddess, eggs were painted and buns similar to Easter cakes were baked. It is believed that the Christian Easter tradition takes its roots from here. And the date of Easter, by the way, is still counted from the date of veneration of Ostara. More precisely, Christians celebrate it on the first Sunday after the full moon following the Equinox.
Slavic traditions of the Equinox
Among the later Slavs this holiday was called Forty. In the old days, it was associated with the arrival of birds, and it was believed that forty birds returned at the end of March - hence the name. The main symbol was the lark, since this bird is the first to return. Ritual cookies were baked in its shape and given to those who saw the lark.

In pagan times, the sun was of great importance to the Slavs. According to legend, when day equals night, solar deities come to the world of people and check how their affairs are going. Yarilo was associated with the arrival of spring. Various rituals and offerings are dedicated to him. They glorified his victory over winter. According to Slavic legends, at the end of March he kicks off the horns of winter, and it goes away.
The Day of the Spring Equinox was a noisy holiday among the Slavs. Mass celebrations and lavish and noisy feasts were held. Pancakes, which symbolized the sun, occupied a special place in the latter. We cooked them more often unmarried girls who used pancakes to guess about marriage. The first thing is lumpy - there will be no wedding this year.
When serving pancakes on the table, you should take a closer look at who will take the very first one. If a man, the first child will be a boy. If a woman, a daughter will be born. Pregnant women can also guess this way. Just like on Christmastide, they told fortunes about their betrothed different ways- from cards to a call on the mirror.
Burning effigies
An obligatory element of folk festivities is a scarecrow symbolizing winter, or the goddess of winter Morena. He was solemnly burned on a huge bonfire. After the burning, they jumped over the fire to cleanse themselves of the negativity accumulated over the winter. Echoes of this tradition can be seen in modern Maslenitsa traditions.
On the tops of mountains and hills they sang songs, calling out spring and calling on birds to return from warm countries. Vesnyanka - that’s what these chants were called. Wheels were lowered from the mountains, which symbolized the movements of the sun-Yarilo across the sky. Distant ancestors did not forget to honor the dead by leaving them treats and visiting their graves.
It was not customary to sleep at night, people froze in anticipation of the sound of the “breaking year” - the arrival of spring among the Slavs was similar to the modern New Year. Their life was closely connected with agriculture, and the new year began at the same time as work on the ground. However, according to some sources, the Slavs celebrated the New Year in autumn or late spring.
Equinox - signs
Pre-holiday cleaning is an essential part of any pagan holiday. A day or two before the onset of the Spring Equinox, it was customary for the Slavs and other peoples to cleanse their homes of physical and energetic dirt.
The first one is easier, it's spring-cleaning, and there are several ways to cleanse your home of negativity. Simplest - visualization while cleaning. Imagine yourself cleaning up your tracks. negative emotions guests and household members along with dust and debris. If you were planning to throw away old trash, the eve of the Spring Equinox holiday - best time for this.
After cleaning, sprinkle the house with holy water or saline solution. You can use herbal infusions. Wormwood, basil, and thyme work well. Then - personal cleansing. Take a herbal bath essential oils And sea salt. Imagine how negative energy, evil eyes and traces of envy leave your biofield.
One of the rites of the Equinox is burning lists of what you would like to get rid of. If possible, the paper should be thrown into the fire. If you don't have one, use a candle.
There is an old sign - the magic of the Spring Equinox will help everyone earn forgiveness. Take time to forgive those who have offended you and correct your bad actions. March 20th is the best time for reconciliation.
Ostara is the day of signs and symbols. Pay attention to all the events of this day. They will tell you the future for the whole year. All dreams seen on the Equinox will turn out to be prophetic.
It is a bad omen to find a rotten egg among food supplies at this time. It foreshadows the loss of the protection of the Gods, the illness of one of the household members. To neutralize the negative meaning, you should hold your breath and walk around the entire house with salt (clockwise). Another sign for Ostara is to harm, even unintentionally, a black cat. If this happens, there will be trouble.
As on the New Year, during the holiday do not allow negative thoughts and actions, otherwise they will haunt you for another year. Almost every holiday is a day of power, when thoughts are more likely to materialize than usual.
Rites, rituals, offerings
Followers of Slavic traditions honor Yarilo and the goddess of spring and youth Lelya, Wiccans - Ostara. Let's consider the Slavic version of the ritual in honor of the gods on the day of the Spring Equinox.
A unique pagan temple of the 10th century, recreated in the Sennen region
The Slavs glorified the gods at temples - sacred places built in their honor. If you have the opportunity to go to a sanctuary where there is an idol of Yarilo, do so. In the old days, offerings for this deity were left near him. They are accompanied glorification- pagan prayer:
God Yarilo, our bright Sun, you gallop across the sky on a white horse, bringing spring to the land of the Orthodox family. There is no enlightenment either in the sky or in my soul without your life-giving ray. Appear your face in the Blue Sky, and let your spirit tremble in my soul. You, our God, are the Father of the brave and victorious, you are a mighty knight who makes a man out of a young man. I pray to you, Father, drive the Basurs away from my family, illuminate the house and bless my relatives! May I be in unity, Yaril, with the Ancestors and Gods, inspired by You to walk my path, boldly and victoriously! Glory to Yarila!
It is better to choose daylight hours, from sunrise to sunset. If there is no opportunity to leave a request or an offering to the deity, you can do this on any hill - a hill, for example. Glades and forest edges are also suitable for this purpose. Offerings to the solar deity should be left while facing the sun.
Regarding the offering itself, the best option- pancakes, which served our ancestors as both a symbol of the sun and a traditional dish of the Equinox. But any other baked goods are also suitable - pies, cookies, homemade bread, gingerbread. It is better if it is made by you personally. Another traditional spring offering to the deity - scrambled eggs, which, like pancakes, symbolize the sun. As a symbol of the future harvest of the new season, the Slavs also offered grain to Yarila. A drink should be left along with the treat. Usually this is beer or kvass.
In honor of the onset of spring and as a sign of veneration of the goddess Lelya, our ancestors left treats for her under young birch trees. They do this early in the morning. Offerings can include holiday colored eggs, baked goods, honey, and milk. The text of the praise is:
Virgo-Lelya, spring is red,
Become clear today in the light.
Let the water flow clear.
Break Mary's spell!Goy-ma! Glory!
Rites and rituals of the Spring Equinox may include various conspiracies to achieve a certain goal. At this time, appeals to the above-mentioned gods are most effective.
Spells for the Spring Equinox
Conspiracy appeals to the gods, who are traditionally revered on the Equinox, will be especially effective on this day. They are read after offering food and praise - first you should show your respect, and then ask for help.
Magic against damage and the evil eye
You can turn to Yarilo for protection from the witchcraft of enemies, as well as with a request to get rid of damage or evil eye. Before installing protection, you should remove all existing negativity. To do this, after making the offering and reading the glorification, you need to say:
Yarilo stands under the blue sky,
He covered himself with a tent and propped himself up with a spear.
Stars often fell from the sky,
And with (name) all the touches fell asleep! Goy!
After cleansing, you should put protection against further magical attacks. The plot corresponding to this goal can be read immediately after the previous one. The text is:
Bright red sun, put a wall of fire around me that cannot be penetrated by any kind of witchcraft. Protect your son (name) from any witchcraft now and forever and ever.
In the text, you can change the words “your son” to “your daughter” if a woman is reading it. You can put such protection on loved one, then you need to mention his name in the text.
Love witchcraft of the ancient Slavs
The magic of the Spring Equinox is good for love witchcraft. In the old days, at this time they were expelled from home stagnant spirit- according to legend, it is because of him that the relationship between spouses cools down. Our ancestors believed that Yarilo, known for his violent and passionate character, would come to the house instead.
For such a conspiracy you will need a broom, preferably made from natural materials - wood, branches. A woman must sit on a broom and “drive” around the whole house. The working part of the broom should slide across the floor. You need to move counterclockwise, starting from front door. At the same time say:
Yarilo ran out of the stove pillar. He began and began to rage at the woman, only the stick knocked. The stick knocks and beats the foul.
Read without stopping until you have walked around the entire house and returned to the front door. Then place the broom with its branches facing up next to it. The spouse with whom you want to improve your relationship should not be at home at this time.
If you have for a long time If you can’t improve your personal life, it is likely that you are responsible for crown of celibacy. According to Slavic beliefs, the goddess Lelya put it on those who did not live according to their conscience and violated the covenants of their ancestors. The magic of the Spring Equinox will help you get rid of punishment. To do this, you need to contact Lela just before sunrise.
You will need a lot of candles that should be placed around you. In the old days, instead of candles, they made fires, and then stood in the center of the fire circle. Prepare a tray on which there will also be candles - as many as will fit. Light all the candles, stand in the center of the circle, hold the tray above your head with your arms outstretched. Now you are supposed to circle counterclockwise while reading the plot:
Oh, Lelya fiercely the force is chosen
Decorated with good red thread, a miracle
Oh, shining Lelya, miracle
Oh, Lelya is glorious, as you marvel at all who see and give.
Oh, Lelya, your good deeds in my house
Oh, Lelya, you are loved and delightful to everyone
Oh, Lelya is mischievous, come to my body to hear the prophetic cry
Dress up like a new item, donate a penny
Give into your soul, look into the world
Through my eyes, through my hands
Yes, connect my thoughts with the chosen existence
And let this be illuminated in the life of the living
Selected semi-precious stones
Oh, Lelya, bind the power of the delightful veil over me
With a spring native belly
Oh, Lelya, Lala has fiercely chosen her strength.
You need to read without counting until the morning sun appears completely above the horizon. Read this plot for the Spring Equinox, as well as six more days after it. On the eighth day before sunrise, you need to weave a wreath of white flowers and decorate it with bright ribbons. Looking at the sunrise through the wreath, read the plot for another forty days. On the forty-first day, hang it on a young birch tree and leave the goddess’s needs - baked goods, milk, honey.
Spells for money
There are special conspiracies on the day of the Spring Equinox that attract money. For one of them you need to make a big fire. Looking at the flame, read:
Sparks are gold, ashes are silver.
Be good in my home all year!
My bins are full
I will always live in wealth and prosperity!
Wait until the fire burns out. Ashes and ashes must be collected and stored in the house. A year later, scatter it to the wind and read these words at the stake again.
If you have the opportunity to go to the forest during a pagan solar holiday, you can spend strong ritual for money with an appeal to Yarilo. To do this, you need to find a clearing and stand so that the sun fully illuminates you. Raise your hands to the daylight and say three times:
The sun was shining in the sky, helping everyone, illuminating everyone. There is enough for everyone, in abundance, in order, not too much, not too little, but as much as needed!
Now turn around three times counterclockwise, and then say, looking at the sun:
Now and forever I have light of gold, plenty of money, not too much, not too little, but as much as I need!
Leave an offering to the deity in the form of pancakes, pastries and kvass or beer. After this, the ritual is considered completed. Your business will quickly go uphill, financial situation will get better.
How to make a wish and have it come true
On the Equinox, the Druids made wishes under the sacred patron tree. From him they were charged with energy for future use. They believed that with the awakening of the earth, trees are more ready to share their strength than at other times of the year. The Slavs believed that on the day of spring, all wishes made come true.
On this day of strength, even the most incredible dreams are highly likely to come true, the main thing is to believe in it. How to make a wish on the day of the Spring Equinox? Make a list of your wishes on paper. Describe what you want as clearly as possible. If this is a house, write the number of rooms, floors, total area and other details that matter to you. Hide the list, and after a year, burn it.
Many Slavic and European traditions are associated with the Spring Equinox. pagan traditions and believe. On this holiday, our ancestors especially revered the gods of spring and the sun - Yarilo and Lelya. Rituals bestowed their blessing, spells addressed to them on the Equinox work much more effectively than at any other time.
Carried out at dawn. The entry of the Sun into Aries, a sign of Fire, is associated with the future. Growth begins from the moment of the spring equinox daylight hours, solar activity increases, and consequently, the fiery principle intensifies. If a person also begins to be active at this moment, then he can achieve a lot, since he uses the energy of the Universe, the macrocosm. It is necessary to concentrate all your attention on the future, on realizing what you want, expressing your intentions. Decide what is important to us and direct all our energy, all our passion, all our inner fire towards it.
In 2016, March 21st falls on a Monday. Monday is the day of the moon. The moon is associated with impermanence, with change, so you should concentrate on changes in life. Any transition from one state to another is a favorable direction of life aspirations in 2016. One of the areas to which volitional effort should be directed on the day of the Moon is movement. Express your intentions regarding future trips, relocations (in new apartment, another city, country) so that they are successful. It is also beneficial to concentrate on updates: changing jobs, types of activities, arranging living space, and establishing new relationships - business, personal, family. What should you not concentrate on? On aggressive actions, destructive aspirations, on conflict situations, make plans for revenge. Changes need to be planned peacefully, gently, harsh actions are unfavorable.
This year's vernal equinox is the 13th lunar day, associated in the Vedic tradition with Kama Dev, the god of love. Consequently, another favorable direction in expressing intentions is the sensual, sexual sphere, as well as everything related to pleasures, entertainment, and celebrations. Focus on relationships between sexual partners, planning to conceive children, and establishing friendships. In addition, the Moon at this time is in the first decan of Virgo and in the 6th house, so it is worth focusing on earthly affairs and the material sphere - on improving health, business, and money matters. But the focus on material results should not be in spite of pleasure; you should not force yourself to act through force.
The symbol of the spring equinox is a magic wand, which implies the direction of the will to one point. The magic wand was made on this very day. The period of Pisces, a dual, unstable sign, has ended. Aries is a cardinal sign. You can't be indecisive. You need to match the cosmic mood, bring your human energy, the energy of the microcosm, into balance with the energy of the Universe - the macrocosm. If such harmony between the great and the small is not achieved, then there will be an imbalance. And if we correctly connect our energy with the energy of the Universe, then we achieve what we want. This is the mystery of the spring equinox. It was on this day that alchemists began making the philosopher's stone. Which meant the search for truth, the acquisition of true knowledge about the world. Human development goes from material to spiritual. At the threshold point of the spring equinox, everyone needs to decide which area needs improvement in order to begin the transition from worse to better.
Looking to the future means a decisive rejection of the past. If you cling to the past, do not desire change - in a word, go against the natural flow of the energy of the moment, then life will deteriorate. Day of spring equinox - dangerous period for those who are in imbalance with the energetic tendencies of the Universe.
Rituals for the spring equinox
On the day of the spring equinox, it is good to perform a special ritual. The key element of this day is Fire. The best way to watch the sunrise is to light a fire in nature. If this is not possible, at least light a candle in the apartment. But if we want a powerful natural impact, we should go to nature, to the forest where there is a spring. When lighting a fire, you should not resort to chemicals; use clean materials: paper, oil, dry branches. Facing east, bring barley grains (or any grains) to the fire. When making an offering, focus on expressing your desire and from the heart, with respect, address the Universe. Ask for help to make what you want come true. It is through a respectful request that our energy connects with the energy of the macrocosm: the small, as a part of the great, must express respect for it. Then choose a strong tree in the forest - healthy, without flaws. Make an offering to him too: put some food under the tree. Ask the tree, nature for help, support and respectfully, lovingly express your intention. Break off a small twig from the tree. This twig is your magic wand. Tie a red thread to it and place it in your living space, preferably close to the head of the bed. This will be your magical assistant, a tool for connecting with natural power for the successful implementation of your plans.
How to make a talisman for the spring equinox
You can also make a talisman. If you decide to use a stone for a talisman, take red jasper or ruby - they enhance fiery energy. You can use iron objects. The item for the talisman must be new. For example, if what you want is to buy a car, then you should purchase some kind of iron accessory for the car. If the sphere is love, the object for the talisman should have love symbols. If you plan to travel to another country, purchase an item with the symbols of that country. This is the essence of a talisman - it expresses ideas on a material level. The talisman must be cleaned and consecrated: sprinkled with water (preferably spring water), fumigated with incense, and anointed with aromatic oil. The talisman will work until the intention comes true. Once the talisman has fulfilled its function, it must be thrown into a river or stream in a clean place, buried, or simply left on the ground, in nature. When your wish comes true, you must definitely thank the spiritual forces of the Universe. Go to nature, make an offering of food and drink (say, sprinkle milk) and express your gratitude for the acquisition. It is very important to express gratitude both when we ask and when the desire comes true. Thus we close the magic circle. When we receive, we must give. And whoever only takes, who does not thank the Universe by offering a small part of his benefits, his benefits decrease. This is how people slide from better to worse, go bankrupt, and suffer losses. The basic magical law is this: if a person is grateful, merciful, knows how to not only take, but also give, this attracts goodness and good luck to him.
On this day, astronomical spring begins and the astrological New Year begins. From ancient times to the present day, the day of the spring equinox has been revered and solemnly celebrated among many peoples of the world as a joyful holiday of the awakening of nature.
On a short time all nature freezes and is in a certain balance of light and darkness, good and evil. From the point of view of natural, elemental magic, this is an important, solemn and magical moment. Not only the time of awakening of earthly forces, but also the inclusion of new energies, reaching a different level. After a period of winter calm, the hour of accomplishment comes: after all, from this moment on, the sun “does not take its eyes off us” for a whole six months. And for the Slavs, the Sun was not a “luminary” of the neuter gender, but rather the Father, the founder of the human race, the sun had a proper name - the god Yarilo. So it turns out that from the moment of the Spring Solstice we are under the watchful gaze, under the supervision of the Forefather. On the one hand, we are under the Patronage of the Sun, on the other hand, as usual in public, we are obliged to show our best sides and deeds.
Among the ancient Egyptians, only the pharaoh was considered the son of Ra, only he had a divine nature: all other citizens of Egypt were mere mortals and descended from an earthly father and mother. Whereas the Slavs - from princes to the last tillers - considered themselves children of the god Yarilo, and everyone could turn to him with a request. Therefore, everyone certainly took part in the joyful ritual on the days of the solstice.
Previously, through the rites of the spring solstice, harmonization took place between the cycles of the Sun and the cycles of the Earth: Father Yarilo could not help but respond to the requests of his children and harmonized life. This is the simple ancient principle of sacred harmony.
So it turns out that many rituals of the spring equinox symbolize rebirth and activate vital energy.
Nowadays in the countries of the Middle East, Central Asia, in Azerbaijan, as well as in Russia (Bashkortostan, Tatarstan) on this day they celebrate the New Year - Novruz.
In Japan, this is the Higan holiday, associated with the veneration of nature and ancestors.
Among the Slavic and Western European peoples, echoes of this holiday are Maslenitsa and a series of spring carnivals. Usually the holiday takes place several days before and several after the equinox itself. And on this day the astrological New Year begins, which will be held under the auspices of the Sun. In the year of the Sun, many human talents are revealed, long-planned ones are realized creative projects. This year we can expect more light, energy, strength, speed in everything.
What meaning did this holiday carry for people at all times?
First of all, the day of the vernal equinox meant the beginning of spring, the time of rebirth, the awakening of nature and all living things to a new life.
From time immemorial, people have perceived spring as the beginning of a new life; on this day they revered the Sun, which gives life and strength to all living things, and the Goddess of spring and dawn.
We welcomed her return from underworld associated with the complete revival of nature and its return vitality.
Ancient spring celebrations were filled with gaiety and rituals promoting the fertility of the earth and the well-being of the people. Before the celebration, they cleaned up, collected and burned all the garbage that had accumulated in the house and yard. On the day of the equinox it was given great importance what people say and do. Tried to avoid evil words and actions, quarrels, insults and abuse.
OSTARA is another name for the Spring Equinox Day (19-21.03)
Ostara - the spring holiday of the Wheel of the Year, mid-spring, a holiday of balance, when the day is equal in length to the night, falls on the spring equinox on March 20-21
In the Wiccan tradition, the Goddess becomes younger on this holiday, restores her virginity, and until Beltane appears in the guise of the Virgin, along with God, who by this time grows up and becomes a youth.
It is believed that her name has common roots with the names of Astrea, Astarte, Astghik (Armenia), Atargatis, Ishtar, Ashtoret and Eos, thus obtaining associations with the dawn, the eastern direction, the beginning and the “morning star” - the planet Venus. In addition, among the peoples of the Mediterranean region, at the spring equinox there were celebrations associated with the resurrection and/or return to the world of living male companions of mother goddesses: Attis, Adonis, Astara, Tammuz-Dumuzi (in the latter case - a later cycle of myths) and etc., which also meant the spring revival of nature.
I suggest you spend cleansing ritual spring equinox.
It is held either on the day of the equinox itself, or in the days closest to it.
This ritual is performed in order to cleanse negative energy and regrets, restore order in the emotional and spiritual spheres of life and let the wind of good changes into your life. Take up cleaning your home or workspace on your own or with your family. While sweeping away the trash and wiping the dust, imagine that you are being cleansed of all negative emotions, illnesses and misfortunes.
Write down on paper everything you want to get rid of and burn it.
After cleaning, be sure to ventilate the room, sprinkle water flavored with herbal infusions around, take a shower and perform meditation to fulfill your desires.
This is a day of pure energy, a unique moment when you can correct mistakes, forgive and receive forgiveness, and create a sunny future for yourself.
During this period, you need to make a list of all the insults and injustices you have caused to your friends and loved ones. These individual lists, compiled during the week, are aimed at restoring harmony in human relationships through sincere apologies, repayment of old debts, etc. After this, during the week before the holiday, a person should try to correct something from this list or decide which -a problem, such as repaying a debt or asking for forgiveness. As a result, another list is compiled - of what has been corrected.
On the day of the holiday, a person brings to the circle his list indicating what he has done to correct injustice and cleanse his karma. During the ritual, the paper is burned, and this serves as a symbolic confirmation of spiritual cleansing.
The spring equinox favors those who seek to begin new life, correct previous mistakes, rewrite something “from clean slate" The most delusional hopes get the opportunity to come true.
The vernal equinox is one of four days of power associated with the solar cycle (which includes two equinoxes and two solstices).
What was laid down as an intention, a dream, a plan per day winter solstice, is now ready to blossom, bloom, open up and show itself in all its glory.
There is a special time on this day - the time between the equinox and sunrise the next day.
Let me remind you that the equinox occurs in 2016 - March 20 at 6:30 am (Moscow time).
This is a magical time, a time of signs, symbols, signs.
Notice everything that happens at this time.
Through symbols you can understand yourself and your future.
At this time, you need to control your thoughts, directing your consciousness to what you want to realize.
Your thoughts, dreams, fantasies, dreams - everything conceived in these moments can come true within a year.
In conclusion, I would like to offer you a meditation to fulfill your desire.
Sit comfortably in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.
Light a candle and place it in front of you. Breathe calmly and deeply.
Try to relax. Close your eyes.
Now mentally imagine your desire come true.
This could be, for example, an image of a new house, you in a new position at new job, or you and your new life partner.
Don’t try to imagine everything in detail, it’s more important to feel the positive energy of a fulfilled wish, so try to feel the feelings that you will experience when your wish comes true.
Now place your image in the pink sphere.
Let this sphere gradually rise into the sky, decreasing in size, until it completely disappears in the heights. You have released your desire and sent it to the order table of the universe.
Now breathe easy and joyfully.
Your order has been accepted and your wish will come true in due time.
Circle of luck. (Anastasia Volkova)
To perform the next ritual you will need several branches of trees or shrubs. Their number is not so important, and you can determine it yourself. The main thing is that there are enough branches to create a small circle around you. Or more precisely, so that you can stand in a circle made of these branches. By the way, it is not at all necessary to cut fresh branches from trees. You can take broken ones or frozen ones in the snow. Believe me, even in such seemingly lost “wrecks” there is still a glimmer of life, and the natural strength is no less than that of their “growing brothers”.
Once you have the necessary “branch tools” in your hands, you can begin...
On the day of the spring equinox, at any hour convenient for you, retire to an apartment or a separate room. Dress warmly and open the windows, turn on the lights everywhere, open the water taps.
If you cannot manage the entire apartment, then at least turn on and open everything you can in the room.
By doing this, you activate the favorable energy of your home, which is a reflection of yourself. Place branches on the floor in the shape of a circle with the words: “Branch to branch, the circle of luck is strong.”
Then stand in your circle, close your eyes and imagine yourself successful and happy man, imagine the performance of the most cherished desires and say: “Good luck is ahead. Luck is behind us. Good luck, walk with me by the hand!”
This completes the ritual. Gather the branches and place them in a beautiful vase with water.
From this moment your life changes for the better!
And when the first green leaf appears on the branches, your dream will begin to come true!
Love and joy to you!

“I will stand, the red fellow (maiden) (name), with my face to the east and my back to the west. I will ask the red fellow (maiden), from the red sun for protection and help. From my enemies, evil sorcerers and dashing people. From nasty misfortunes, damage and diseases sent. And the sun gave me protective rays, and with them the cherished words “Armor from the sun of fire, stand around me, armor from the sun of fire, stand around me, armor and sun of fire, stand around me.” The living force of abundance fills me. The living force of success fills me. The living power of love fills me. And so it will be from now on.”
Speak three times as soon as the first rays appear.
When completing the ritual, do not forget to thank the Sun and the Higher Powers. You can leave it where it was: honey, a crust of salted bread. With this gratitude (demand), thank for the given strength and protection.
If you can't go outside at all. Make houses near a window facing east, so that the sun can be seen. You can also light a red candle, and then take your gratitude outside and put it under any tree.
Conspiracy to make a wish come true:
To make a wish come true or plans come true, you can use a cheesecake, as the ancient Slavs did.
Before the spring equinox, bake a cheesecake, a symbol of well-being, and while preparing it, think about your desire or plans for the near future.
On the night of the spring equinox, light a candle and eat a small piece of cheesecake, repeating to yourself what you wished for. After this, try to forget about what you did and fall asleep peacefully.
Spell to attract money:
A conspiracy on the day of the spring equinox for an egg to get more money is carried out on March 20 or 21, in your own house or apartment.
Required items:
Chicken egg is white;
Needle;
Match;
Wallet with money;
10 ruble banknote;
Flour;
Flower pot;
Artificial flower or grass.
Sequence of actions during a conspiracy:
Use a needle to make holes in the egg at the top and bottom. Drain the whites separately, then the yolk.
1. Light a candle, cross the remaining intact shell three times, cross yourself three times, say the words:
« God's help and by His grace."
2. Dipping a match into the yolk, write your name on the egg with the yolk. Each letter should be circled three times.
3. Blow on the hollow egg and extinguish the church candle.
4. Count the money in your wallet.
5. Then count all the money in the house.
6. If you have your money somewhere else, then remember and count it.
7. Write the resulting amount on a 100 ruble bill.
8. Mix the protein and flour so that you get a thin dough.
9. Coat the empty egg on which the name was written with the dough and glue one hundred rubles with the written amount of money around it. Try not to break the shell!
10. When you glue the bill, you should say the following words:
"Egg-sister,
Mother of God teardrop,
roll around, spin around,
Turn to the sun,
I conjure you on a long day,
The cry of a crane,
Quicksand,
By the flying wind,
Fire and copper
Water and all kinds of food.
From this day on, the wealth of God’s servant (her name) would increase,
And the burdens, worries, worries, and sadness would go away.
Key, lock, tongue.Amen".
11. After the money sticks well, place the egg in an empty flower pot and place it on the windowsill, closer to the sun.
In order not to attract the attention of strangers to an empty pot, place artificial flowers, grass, dry spikelets, etc. in it.
This conspiracy on the day of the vernal equinox for an egg for money should be done every year on the day of the vernal equinox.
A used egg, or rather an empty shell, from a pot should be buried under a mistletoe bush.
So take care of the mistletoe bush in advance in your country house or near your house, in the yard.
Fortune telling on the day of the Spring Equinox:
Even in the old days, fortune-telling and spells using larks baked from dough were popular. The hostess selected some items in advance, wondered what exactly they meant in this fortune-telling, and then baked these items into larks. Whoever comes across something, that’s what awaits him. For example: a button in a lark meant that a new thing awaits you soon, a coin - quick wealth, a ring - marriage.
The heads from these larks were given to cattle to protect them from the evil eye and all sorts of diseases. And the torso from the larks was given to children so that they would grow up strong and healthy.
Their baked larks were also thrown into the sky. The more times you throw and catch your lark, the more health you will have this year.
Fortune telling on the day of the spring equinox:
Since this holiday is also considered magical, fortune-telling acquired this day special power. After all, many believed that the powers of good witches and evil ones were equalized. In addition, due to the fact that the predecessor of this holiday is Maslenitsa, many girls used similar fortune-telling. So, for example, on this day they also baked pancakes, and if the first pancake was not lumpy, then they believed that they would get married this year.
When a girl wanted to find out what gender her first child would be, she kept track of who would take the first pancake with festive table. If a man, then you need to wait for a boy, and accordingly, if a woman, then a girl.
Many girls believed that this night they would have prophetic dreams. Before going to bed, many people usually told fortunes about their husband - they put two aces (of spades and diamonds), a ten of clubs, a key, a ring (not a wedding ring), a crust of bread, a willow branch and a piece of pie under the pillow. All items had to be wrapped in a white scarf. The next morning, the girls judged the future, depending on what they dreamed about:
If there is a ring, then there will be a wedding soon;
If any card is of spades suit, then it means trouble;
If the key, then to success in work;
If there is a pie or cake, then soon there will be good luck and joy;
If bread, then to success at work;
If any plant, then this is good unexpected news;
If the card is a diamond, then expect enrichment;
If it's a club card, then expect a move.

Altar Ideas
1. Planting Intention and Seeds
Light candles - white or black. Make an altar - put fresh flowers there. In ancient times, eggs and rabbits were considered a symbol of the creation of life and fertility, so painted or decorated eggs, chocolate or baked bunnies can also decorate your altar.
Light incense, fumigate the room, clean and ventilate the room well, get into the darkest corners, stagnant energy collects there and there is plenty of it accumulated over the winter. Great way disperse it by rattling it with an egg containing small objects.
Plant prepared seeds into pots of soil as a ritual with the intention of growing what you want in your life. The simpler the better. Focus your intention on the seed, then on the pot after planting it. Take care of him. It is better to plant flowering plants.
If you have your own garden and vegetable garden, this will be a great time to start getting in touch with the spirits of your place of residence. Offer them your offering (in the form of food and flowers, you can put a glass of wine and light a candle). Remember that attitude is everything, you either strengthen it or destroy it - this applies to any type of relationship.
2. Second ritual
It is better to do the spring ritual outdoors, among the blossoms, and share your joy of new life with nature.
You will need:
- Seeds of plants, flowers or vegetables
- Eggs (boiled)
- Red, black and white candles
Instructions:
1. Decide for yourself what you want to do - just celebrate the beginning of the new season or you will use its magic to achieve your spring goals. Prepare everything you need - you can welcome new life in the morning and do the ritual in the evening.
2. Prepare (buy) flowers and plants, vegetables for planting (seeds). Find a place in your garden, garden, or just in a pot on the balcony where you will plant them. The growth of these plants will symbolize your gratitude to life.
3. Go out into nature, to a park, or just take a walk around the neighborhood. Consciously pay attention to which trees and plants are already blooming and feel the spring air. Remove trash if you see it in the natural landscape.
4. Use eggs as another symbol of new life. Color them - you can use felt-tip pens or a marker, draw symbolic things for you, what you want to come into your life.
5. Breathe deeply. Draw in the energy of your surroundings and visualize your goals as they materialize into life. Peel the eggs and eat, taking in the things you desire.
6. Light a pair of black and white candles in your home, symbolizing the balance of Light and Darkness in the spring and within you. Make an altar (a simple table or shelf) using fresh flowers, eggs and a red candle. Meditate on new beginnings and how you will implement them.
Hints and warnings:
- You can create your own ritual using symbols of spring that have meaning to you.
- Bright flowers that bloom in your area are excellent attributes of spring.
- Perform rituals at sunrise or sunset
- You can wrap plain candles in colored paper or paint them (if you don't have candles of the right color on hand)
3. Third ritual
You will need spring flowers, a dress or shirt that is green or decorated with flowers; floral incense.
- To get into the appropriate mood, take a walk where flowers and trees grow (a park or square is perfect). Go to flower shop and buy fresh flowers, choose the ones you like without thinking about whether they fit together.
- Reflect on the meaning of spring - it's a time to plan what you want to do in the coming months. Decide what you want to bring into your life. Find items that symbolize this and place them on your altar.
- Decorate the altar with flowers, use pastel colors. Wear prepared clothes (green or with flowers). Light a jasmine, rose or any other floral incense stick.
- Paint boiled eggs symbols of fertility, rebirth and spring. Make it spring green salad. Add any sprouts, pumpkin or sunflower seeds - symbols of the season.
- When everything is ready, mentally draw a circle around yourself and the altar, light the candles and meditate on the theme of spring. Ask the gods to guide you in fulfilling your intentions over the next few months.
On this day you can plant any plants and seeds - they will grow along with your growth.
Try to use only natural dyes for eggs.
Break an egg as a symbol of birth from past life. Bury it underground so that your past can be left behind.
More information about what to say and what to think during the ritual:
When thinking about the meaning of the season, it's best to use your own words - think about what the Spring Rebirth means to you, remembering to think about God and Goddess as sexual beings, the return of Spring, gratitude that the cold is behind us, and whatever you would like to create in your life in the near future, ask God and Goddess to help you with this.
Then pick up the most beautiful egg and say out loud how you like it. Explain how it represents the origin of life and God and the Goddess and creation. Use your own words. Hold the egg for a few minutes and think meditatively about the blessing that spring brings us and the love that God finds in the arms of the Goddess.
Place the egg back on the altar and take your seed dish. Talk to them, tell them about your hopes, what you want to see fulfilled (grown) in your life before winter returns. Talk to them lovingly, to yourself, about your goals. Once you have fed them with love, plant them in a pot of soil.
You can water it with water charged during the Water Ceremony (see below). Talk about loving yourself, the seeds, and God with the Goddess as you plant the seeds. Place the pot on your altar.
Now take a nice notebook or your Book of Wishes and write down a list of things that you believe in. For example, “I believe that the world is filled with love” or “I believe that I good man" You will return to this list again during Autumn Equinox, after writing another list during the ritual. You can also add a list of what you want to accomplish or see in your life and in this world.
Now complete the ritual by thanking the higher powers and mentally removing the circle. Place your pot in a sunny place and don't forget to water it and say words of love while also thinking about your goals.
Make a special lunch for your loved ones - spring salads, bake a pie or dough bunnies. Take the idea from the Persians - put it on the table seven dishes starting with the letter “C”– salad, salmon, sour cream, etc.
4. Water ceremony
March 22 is World Water Day and Great Women gather for a sacred ceremony and prayers to bless the waters of our planet. Water is life and it is a symbol of feminine energy.

They call on women all over the world (sorry Men, but this is a women's ceremony), from all over the world, to unite in their prayers in the sacred gift of life - WATER.
PRAYER FOR HEALING WATER
As sisterhood, motherhood and womanhood, please join the International Council of Thirteen Great Mothers with your prayers of power throughout the world for the healing of the waters of our Mother Earth and humanity.
We thank everyone who will join us in prayer for the lives of our future generations.
- Prepare a bowl of clean water or sit on the shore of a pond.
