We’Moon Holy Days: Seasonal Blessings
In each edition of the We’Moon datebook, we feature one Holy Day writer who shares with us her unique perspectives of each of the eight holy days. This year, we have the pleasure of sharing the work of Oak Chezar. Oak is a radical Dyke, performance artist, Women's Studies professor, psychotherapist, writer, & semi-retired barbarian. She lives in a straw bale, womyn-built house. She just published "Trespassing", a memoir about Greenham Common Womyn's Peace Camp. Whilst working & playing towards the decimation of patriarchy & industrial civilization, she carries water. oakchezar@gmail.com
Spring Equinox & Total Solar Eclipse
SHE is Tickled! SHE Crows! SHE Rejoices!
Q: How many fairy godmothers does it take
to change a light bulb?
A: Into what?
We welcome THE GIRLS.
The Equinox arrives, Day and Night, Light and Dark, in balance. Girls and fairies dance in the fair winds, the fresh sunlight, the high moon. Now is a good time to believe in faeries and to acknowledge all tiny tickles: desires, wishes, imaginings, beliefs, seeds of ideas . . . .
Newborns struggle to survive and thrive at great odds. Honor the difficult beginnings of life—the bondage of eggshell, of earth crust, of breaking through conventions, walls, habits. Card XV of the Tarot is often read as a card of bondage to inner and outer limitations—the Vernal Equinox provides the natural antidote. Use the energy of Spring to support girls to break through the bonds of patriarchy.
We must—Actively protect habitat, right near us and all around Mother Earth!
We must—Actively support girls, right here and all around Mother Earth!
That should keep us buzzing! Blessed wee ones. Blessed bees. Blessed we. Blessed be.

March 20th: Total Solar Eclipse occurs at 29° Pisces at 2:46 am PDT.
As the Sun dims, surrender your story.
Give up the plot line that keeps you in the dark.
Re-image the shadows cast upon your past.
