March Equinox-a-Long
In the spirit of the Solstice-a-Longs, I present a three-night (or day) devotional for the coming Equinox. As with the Solstices, I am presenting information for both the Northern and Southern hemisphere. Once again, I am inspired by rites that were included in the Troth’s Book of Blots . The two rites are designed for larger groups; I have edited them for the candle-lighting theme that I used with the Solstice-a-longs. As there is no tradition for multi-day celebrations for the equinoxes as there is with Yule (at least that I can find), that simplifies things greatly. The first step is, obviously, to find what day the equinox is in your hemisphere. Keep in mind time zones may move the date, if the actual time of solstice falls near midnight. This year, in my time zone, the Equinox is Wednesday, March 20, 2019 at 5:58 pm EDT. Thus, the devotional begins on Tuesday, March 19, and ends on Thursday, March 22.
