Peace, Love, and Tea Leaves

Oh, how I love Ostara.  What is Ostara, you ask? Well, it's an ancient Germanic festival celebrating the arrival of spring, marking the spring equinox. It focuses on the balance of all things; the darkness and light. We have finally emerged from the dark part of the year and now it is time to celebrate! While Imbolc is the half way point between Winter and Spring, we have finally reached the crossing! IT IS SPRING! Symbols of Ostara include all things you'd see in nature around this time of year; fresh eggs, colorful flowers, rabbits. Of course sexuality is also included because what do we see in the spring time? Why, it's breeding season, of course! It's an exciting celebration; we're welcoming the return of the warmth of spring! FINALLY! But that doesn't necessarily mean we can't get some early spring snow flurries. Make sure you don't jump right in to starting that garden you're so excited about. Now would be the time to start your see...

I found this little stone right after my first Reiki session. After my spiritual healing, I was once again called to the crystal section of the shop. Of course, I was! It's like they're singing to me lately. "Buy us, Maddie! Buy us!" Anyway, I knew immediately the stone I had in mind was going to be a cool, bluish green type stone. It's just the color/vibe that popped into my mind. I ended up purchasing two; the Rainbow Fluorite and an Amazonite, which I'll talk about in a different blog post. Rainbow Fluorite comes in a range of colors- i.e, the RAINBOW in rainbow fluorite. Blues, greens, purples, translucent, and somethings a mix of all three! This stone is known for its ability to aid in cognitive function and mental clarity. Because of this it is perfect to keep around offices, work spaces, craft rooms, and on writing desks. It's also a fantastic stone to wear when you're going into a place or situation where you want to make sure to keep your wits...
