Accidental Gods Spring Equinox Meditation 2024

"Consciousness creates Matter
Language creates Reality
Ritual creates Relationship" - Oscar Mira-Quesada quoted by Nina Simons in podcast #218

Part of our moving towards a healed and healthy culture for humanity is rewilding our relationships with ourselves, each other and the earth.

A key part of this is building rituals that have meaning for us in the context of these relationships.

Connecting to the cycles of the earth is a straightforward ritual that acknowledges, honours and respects the world we live in and our place within the planetary cycles - and our own.

This guided visualisation walks us into the moment of balance between the long nights and the long days, the restorative time of winter and the outward-acting time of summer, between being to doing. Please take time for yourself to sit quietly, perhaps light a candle, or otherwise create a space out of time that has meaning for you. It doesn't have to be at the moment of the equinox, whenever that is for you, wherever you are in the world, it's the connection that counts, the marking of the day. And you don't have to limit yourself to one pass through - please feel free to explore this more deeply than one single iteration. If you want other, similar journeys, they are a whole host in the Accidental Gods Membership Programme.

For those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, where you are moving from doing to being, from the long days to the long nights, this meditation is more appropriate.

I mentioned Alnoor Ladha and Lynn Murphy and our discussion of Initiation Cultures and Trauma Cultures, which was in episode 208.
