First of all I would like to wish those of you living in the Northern Hemisphere a belated "Joyous Ostara"!
And for those living in the Southern Hemisphere Happy Mabon!!!!
My Dad (who has started to gain an interest in Wicca and all things Pagan since I came out of the proverbial Wiccan closet to him a Mom a few months back) sent me this awesome picture on facebook which I thought I would share.. :) Everybody needs a little cuteness especially with how much negativity there has been in the media lately...
Because my partner and his family (he has two nieces and two nephews at between the ages of 8 and 13) and also my parents celebrate the traditional Judaeo-Christian/Catholic Easter I still get into it but not as much as I used to. For the PEST's though (the nickname give to the kids because their initials spell it!) I get all excited for the Easter egg hunt! It's my second favorite thing about Easter! The first is watching their faces as they hunt around for the eggs!
For Mabon I was fairly laid back in terms of rituals or ceremonies. I chose a white candle and and focused on the meaning of light and dark and how I can try and change to be a better person and wiccan working always for the light.
I also stumbled across this truly excellent blog post by this lady whose articles are informative, witty and make me smile! So please give her blog a read and the link to do so is below.

With that I will end this post here with a chirpy Merry Part!!!
