Happy Spring Equinox to all members here

This day is in honor of Lady Astarte, but as we have a God Ritual schedule, we will continue with the schedule.

Today the Sun enters Aries, marking the beginning of the Pagan New Year. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and is associated with new beginnings, fresh starts, taking action, and increased motivation and drive. With Spring comes planting and growth; not just of nature, but also of our goals and ambitions.

I want all of you to make a goal for yourself, for these next 6 months or year. Not only a spiritual goal, but also in your real life. The Gods want us to live life, I have personally been told this by Zeus Himself and other Gods.

Work towards your spiritual advancement; work towards helping the Temple of Zeus (Outreach program, translating, donating, projects, helping our community); but also something in your real life, that will help you on a personal level. We must all try to level up in some way: either by getting ahead in career, finding a better place to live, building a new skill, or even buying a few nice things for your home that improves your life in any way. On a grander scale we must accomplish what our individual soul path expresses, and this often requires smaller goals to be accomplished along the way, leading to our ultimate Destiny.

Take some time to find a goal, ask your GD for guidance or a sign, and then put your mind towards accomplishing it. If there are obstacles in your way, there are dates listed in our Calendar for freeing the soul. You can also find dates listed for beginning magickal workings for whatever your goal is. And you must work towards accomplishing it in reality.

Grow and accomplish your goals, and bask in the sense of accomplishment when you have achieved them
