The actual Equinox on Thursday March 20 at 5:01 am Blood Moon lunar eclipse March 14 visible after midnight in the North/East peak at 3 am. Partial solar eclipse March 29 visible at peak 6.47 am
.
There is some preparation involved that you do at home prior to the ceremony. Please, check out ‘what to create’ below and take some time with it. The preparations are part of the feeding of the spirit world and deepen the work we do so we can reap the most benefits from it as well. It also shows a commitment to walking a different path as it takes some effort, which is noticed in the other world.
.
Make sure you leave enough time to hike/walk to the site so we can start in time. We will be be at the Landing which is the immediate path to the right after you come out of the visitor center.
The Equinox is situated between two powerful eclipses which are all portals of light. This is a significant moment for the celestial light to expand our awakening, intuition, and our expansion. The heavens are on our side as we traverse the rapid changes while focusing on the light.  
.
Looking around in our third dimensional world we know we are in a time of crisis, turbulence, and collapse. We are in the middle of major change that will have this intensity till 2027. We are in the last stages of the 18 years of the processions of the Equinoxes since 2012 to be completed in 2030. We are being tested emotionally and it is a time of healing of emotional trauma since our fall from grace. On a positive note, more of us are awakening, our intuitive abilities are opening, we begin to remember who we truly are, and the light upon our planet is increasing. There is a lot of help from galactic beings, and many of them are among us to assist us with this transition. The young people express a whole different energy and carry solutions for every problem on the world. They are the ones that will rise and guide us into the future. The more we remember the power of our consciousness, love, and compassion the more we affect the outcome of things in a positive way. Challenge is part of the course and we are going through the birth canal. We are here in a unique time of human history; this is the moment we have been waiting for. We are here to plant the seeds of compassion, peace, harmony, love, courage, and healing. We begin to remember that we are interrelated, interdependent, and interconnected, no matter how some of our brothers and sisters are in total recalcitrant behavior. Trusting there is a divine plan and the more our channels are open the more we know how to act. Darkness is passive energy; it is the absence of light. We shine our light in front of us and darkness cannot hide. We are protected by our own light. We are birthing a new world and we are envisioning what this will mean and look like. Recognize the moments in which you see the new consciousness arising.
.
The Vernal Equinox is rapidly approaching which is always a powerful gateway where the sun rises opposite from where it sets, where night and day, matter and spirit, yin and yang create a short-lived moment of balance. It announces the return of Spring, the awakening of nature, and resurrection of life. It is the season of activation, change, acceleration, and transformation as a quickening propels life forward in rapid succession, following coherent patterns of fractals that create a predictable outcome with a unique expression based on the information it received. It is a vulnerable time in which the young life endures the challenges of potential late frosts, imbalances of moisture, wind, and temperatures which have become a reality in the last couple of years as the sun goes through its cycles. It is for this reason that ceremonies have been done to midwife and protect the young life to ensure that life can express and procreate to provide a food body we all can partake in and can continue forever. It also allows us to come into alignment with nature and be stewards of this precious life, have a relationship with the living world around us, and understand the minor cycles among the bigger cycles in the universe.

Following the cosmology of the Dagara people of West Africa we have entered now into an earth year. The wheel is universal as it reflects the energy patterns of what is surfacing right now. The qualities of Earth are nurturing, home coming, welcoming, it is connected to our bodies, grounding, standing our ground. The battle is going to be about protecting our basic livelihood, our wellbeing, our sovereignty, our acknowledgment that we are all children of the Earth, and our beloved Earth herself with all her resources, majesty, and soil health that have come up for grabs.
.
With Pluto now fully in Aquarius we stand up for our freedom, build from the bottom up, bring things down to the local grassroots communities. Transparency calls for truth to come out. The light pushes things to the surface. Fasten your seatbelts. Great acceleration is upon us.
.
The intention :
.
As we see the outer world going through a massive transformation and collapse how does this reflect within us. What shadows, hidden memories, ancestral lineage are cracked open to be healed, released, transformed. What still needs to be healed and cleared within us to set ourselves free and embrace our sovereignty.
.
What to bring and prepare :
.
– Please, get a dark piece of natural decomposable easy tearing fabric that represents your old skin of about 1 yard long and about 12 to 15 inches wide. This represents your old skin. What skin are you still wearing that ties you to ancestral wounding, fear, unhealed traumas. What is still weighing you down, stopping you from truly being free? What are you still carrying that does not belong to you? What is the turmoil in the world bring up in you that brings you down?
.
– Please, get 3 strands of either yarn, natural rope, (I am asking for multiple strands to make it thicker and more substantial) or a single strip of natural decomposable fabric of 2 yards long and 1-2 inches wide, whatever you have easiest access to. This is your umbilical cord that has tied you to all the unresolved issues that have kind of nursed you along but also prevented you from truly flying free. What are we feeding in ourselves? What are the electrical currents of our thoughts and feelings that we are broadcasting that come through the magnetic nature of the earth into form? What thoughts, feelings, words, and actions do this umbilical represent that prevents us from knowing our divinity? Make a knot for each individual issue that arises in you right now based on these question.
.
– Please, find a flexible thin branch that you ty around itself forming a circle with a 10-inch diameter. Some branches you have to work them along the entire length, breaking up the stiffness gently, so they do not break. This represents your wholeness, the cycles, inclusion, and the gateway to the other dimension. How do you see yourself as an expression of the Creative Source? How does your light shine? With a piece of yarn, rope or fabric either yellow, white, pink, violet or soft pastel spring color wrap this circle while affirming your light, greatness, divinity, and all the amazing ways it has come through you in the way you are in the world.
.
– Please, bring a seed. To what are you committed to facilitate the change in the world?
.
– Please, bring Spring flowers that are open, a lightweight dark blanket, or big shawl (important), a pad to sit on, drums or other sound makers if you have them, some healthy non-gmo finger food for after the ritual, raingear if needed and your own water to drink. Make sure you dress warm and have good footwear./strong>
.
– Please, bring a friend and give them this information.

The ceremonies go deeper each year as they are built on each previous one. We do our best to fulfill the requested preparations but let it not deter you from coming if you can’t fulfill it.
