     It is the time of the Spring Equinox again -- the time when the days are as
long as the nights (Equinox or equal).   This usually happens on the 21st of
March, however can be at times on the 22nd.   The ancients viewed this
equinoctial point as be quite magical and marked it at the beginning of spring
(though it was not spring all over the globe).   Psychologically this point
marked the return of the light of day having dominion over the soon to become
the shorter time of the darkness of night (and mythically the return of the
Solar Hero).   Dawn becomes a special time because it announces the departure of
night and ever-intensifying realization of Light.   Dawn is sometimes called the
"crack between the underworld and the overworld" -- a time when one can
contemplate the multi-level forces of the Cosmos.   The moment of dawn
symbolically marked Rebirth -- when that which was old and dark is renewed to
Youth and Light.

     The Spring Equinox does not really coincide Easter, however in the days or
yor the meaning and the intent was the same.   This Equinox symbolically
portrays the earth in spring's regenerating force -- which is symbolic of the
regeneration of the Inner Self through Christ Consciousness (or Solar Hero).
The dark of night being the symbol of one descending into the unconsciousness of
the underworld and returning to the greater Consciousness of the Light of day.
This being the time that one can merge one's Consciousness with the Christ
Consciousness.   This was a very mystical and magical and intense devotional
moment for the ancients -- a time for Initiations into higher levels of
Consciousness.

     Times have changed but the same Cosmic Energies still abound to no end, and
should be used wisely for the resultant Cosmic Christ Consciousness.   Enjoy !!!
