Vernal Equinox Greeting of the Sun

For those who are able to rise [or stay up] an witness the sunrise on the Vernal Equinox [Alban Eilir]
Cleanse yourself in your usual manner. Create your space.
Face the East.
Kneel, sitting back on haunches. Meditate on opening yourself to wisdom.
As the sun rises, rise up so that you are still on your knees but as tall as you can be, outstretch your arms. Feel the energies from the sun rising into you bringing wisdom and enlightenment. Clarity of thought out of the fogginess of winter brains.
Right knee first, then left, stand, arms still outstretched.
Breathe deeply.
Bring both hands in to the stomach, palms flat against you. Make a small hum with your voice [intone]. As the sun rises, intone louder. Feel that vibration right down in your stomach with your hands. Keep humming until your whole body is feeling it. As the sun rises above the horizon, let that sound OUT!. You can do this as a noise, a rush or air or the old Egyptian way of singing RA! While doing so THROW your arms wide into the air and share that energy!

Now you have that energy around you, let’s see what you can do with it!
Eat, drink and be merry…and plant many fertile seeds.
