Already many of us are starting to feel the soft vibrations of the Maiden's footsteps. She is coming as always and we shall follow her with a burst of fresh energy and serenity.
Depending on the region you live, now is the perfect chance to welcome her by planting a flower. If the ground is not yet ready, go out and purchase a indoor plant. Let is siginfy the welcome of Spring. The smell of the flowers are the scent of the Maiden.
The softening of the ground is Mother Earth welcoming you to walk upon her as well as embracing you. The birds are singing thier song acknowleding the basket of warmeth that the Maiden carry's along with her. She dances about swining her basket and sprinkling the warmeth all around. She is gleefull and sometimes dances in the wind.
Next time you are standing outside, close your eyes and envision her moving and dancing within the wind.
For now is the time to clean, get rid of clutter and air your home out. Even if you leave the windows open for one hour a day. Let the air come through and move about through your home. This is a form of cleansing as well and not only for your home, but all that is in the home.
Take a deep breath and slowly let it out, relax and smile, for there are many things we can be thankful for as the Maiden brings to us the Spring.
