It's Ostara! That's
Easter to some of you, Spring Equinox to some others, but Ostara to
the rest of us. And it's time to celebrate.
No matter the name you give the Sabbat/ feast, it is a
celebration. And no matter your tradition, the celebration is
about the same thing. A promise was made a Samhain. It
showed its first steps of fulfillment at Yule, and more at
Imbolc. At Ostara, we know for sure that it is
happening. No hedging about any deity's "will", it is
happening. No quibbling about whether it's going to be in any
deity's "time", it is not only happening and it is happening
when it needs to happen!
That is part of the wonder of it all, and the wonderment we need to
have when we think of the Divine. So many people look upon
the Divine with such a narrow viewpoint that even so-called "tunnel
vision" would seem an improvement. And worse, they miss so
much, including the basic point that the Divine is trying to
make.
And so, join us for a celebration. Once again, The Virtual
Mission Chapel Of The Archangel Uriel opens its cyberspace doors to
one and all for an Ostara celebration with a ritual and a
get-together to follow. Let's greet the Divine with a smile
as we celebrate the promise being fulfilled.
Oh, and you'll hear an announcement about something that you've
been hearing about over the last couple of weeks. It's an
announcement that demonstrates what Ostara can be about if we only
let it!
Blessed Be!
