Have you ever held onto a fluffy dandelion and made a wish?
It's a simple act that can bring back childhood memories and remind us to dream big.
As we grow older and face life's challenges, it can be easy to lose sight of that magic. But taking a moment to appreciate the simplest things in life can bring us joy and gratitude.
So, the next time you see a dandelion, hold on tight and make a wish.

#FolkloreThursday: Imbolc 🕯️🌞 The celebration of Imbolc originates from the Celts. Imbolc symbolizes the halfway point between the winter solstice (Yule) and the spring equinox (Ostara). The word "imbolc" means "in the belly of the Mother," because the seeds of spring are beginning to stir in the belly of Mother Earth. Imbolc is a pagan holiday celebrated from February 1 through sundown February 2. Based on a Celtic tradition, Imbolc was meant to mark the halfway point between winter solstice and the spring equinox in Neolithic Ireland and Scotland. The holiday is celebrated by Wiccans and other practitioners of neopagan or pagan-influenced religions. Imbolc is just one of several pre-Christian holidays highlighting some aspect of winter and sunlight, and heralding the change of seasons. The celebration of Imbolc dates back to the pre-Christian era in the British Isles. The earliest mentions of Imbolc in Irish literature date back to the 10th century. Poetry from that time relates the holiday to ewe’s milk, with the implication of purification. It’s been speculated that this stems from the breeding cycle of sheep and the beginning of lactation. The holiday was traditionally aligned with the first day of spring and the idea of rebirth. After months of turning inward, of hibernation & of rest, life is beginning to stir again. Depending on where you are, you may be seeing the first spring flowers beginning to show signs of life. Spiritually, this is a time of new life coming into manifestation. We may only be seeing the tiniest hints of life above the surface but things are really beginning to stir in the darkness. Just like nature is beginning to awaken after its dormant period, we are also reawakening with new dreams & exciting new plans. #imbolcblessings #imbolc2023 #spring #springseason #spring2023 #summer #summerseason #summer2023 #mystique #spiritique #mindfulness #spiritual #spirituality #blessedimbolc #mysticalsummers #mysticalsummer #februaryblessings #firstdayofspring #pagan #paganism #mystical #mysticisim #mystic #folklore #folkloreflash #folkspirits #imbolc2023 #blessedbe #Brigid #brigidsday https://www.instagram.com/p/CoKMEZFyipg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Sakuramochi (桜餅) is a Japanese confection (wagashi) consisting of sweet, pink-colored rice cake (mochi) with a red bean paste (anko) center and wrapped in a pickled cherry blossom (sakura) leaf. Different regions of Japan have different styles of sakuramochi. Kanto-style uses shiratama-ko (白玉粉, rice flour) to make the rice cake, and Kansai-style uses dōmyōji-ko (道明寺粉, glutinous rice flour). The sweet is traditionally eaten during the spring season, especially on Girl's Day (hinamatsuri; March 3) and at flower viewing parties (hanami).

I personally love how the sakuramochi (vector) looks like. Actually, real sakuramochi has more texture than the illustration I made.

After five long, chilly months, the seasons are finally beginning to change. In the Northern Hemisphere, the spring equinox is the day that winter ends and spring officially kicks off — and this year, it's all happening on March 20 (the same day as the start of Aries season and the astrological new year). In other words, spring has sprung. The word equinox comes from Latin and means, “equality of night and day.” At this point in time, the Sun is directly above the hemisphere, meaning that both halves of the Earth are receiving the Sun's rays equally, and the length of day and night are pretty much the same. There are two equinoxes each year — one in the spring and one in the fall. We attune to this energy by coming out of our cocoon to plant the seeds of new beginnings." The season of hibernation has officially ended.

The Spring Equinox, also known as Ostara and the Vernal Equinox occurs tomorrow! Marking the very first day of Spring for the Northern Hemisphere, (and marking the Fall Equinox or Mabon in the Southern.) Ostara is a symbol of balance, hope, life, and fertility. Earth is stretching, warming and awakening, thus a new cycle is beginning. As the excitement for warmth and life gradually rise, you want to remain patient. You want to understand that progress and development take time. Nature can't be rushed. Slow and steady wins the race. With everything occuring in the world right now, the Universe is screaming at us to slow down and trust the cosmic flow. Everything needs to run its course, in its own time. *Cont in comments 1/2 https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBIJTYyAkD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
