​Path of the Seasons
The Earthen Northern Hemisphere
This page only details the Northern Hemisphere at this time.

Please Note: The Path of the Season is Balanced globally. 
In the Earthen Southern Hemisphere, the Season are the opposite of the Northern.
For Example, during Spring Equinox in the North, it is Autumn Equinox in the South.
In time, when members of the Monastery are from the South,
the Southern Path of the Seasons will be included here.
Thank you & Blessings~

February 2nd marks the time of the year when "Life Bursts Forth" and winter officially ends and we celebrate Spring Awakening.  Celebrate as the Earth Re-Awakens in the Northern part of the Planet with candles, seedling plants, and sage.  Focus on this time of renewal, growth & abundance.

March 19th - 23rd: Season of Spring Equinox

Between March 19th and March 23rd, the earth balances equal light and darkness, moving toward the Light.
