The March equinox, also known as the spring equinox, is a significant time for many pagan communities around the world. This festival marks the arrival of spring and the balance between light and dark. During this time, pagans celebrate the renewal of life and the awakening of nature after the cold winter months. It is a time of new beginnings, fertility, and growth. One popular tradition during the March equinox festival is the lighting of bonfires. These fires symbolize the return of the sun's warmth and light.
That’s when Sally’s love interest, Gary, shows up. Gary is searching for Jimmy. Turns out, Jimmy managed to accidently kill three college kids by selling them rattlesnake seeds and jimsonweed. “One seed of rattlesnake weed makes you euphoric, it’s like LSD growing free. The problem is, two can cause your death.”
She and Gillian are the best sisters I ve seen on screen for a while and just generally Sally s relationship with the different members of her family are so strong and important. I watched Practical Magic for the first-time last October and loved it it s definitely going to be a film I watch on the run up to Halloween each year going forward.
These fires symbolize the return of the sun's warmth and light. People gather around the bonfires to sing, dance, and participate in rituals that honor the Earth and the changing seasons. Another common practice is the decorating of eggs.
O is for Sally Owens
I watched Practical Magic for the first-time last October and loved it – it’s definitely going to be a film I watch on the run up to Halloween each year going forward. I loves everything about it, the story, the clothes, the music, that amazing house, and all the characters but my favourite (as the title suggests) was Sally.
Sally is a witch and she and her sister Gillian (like all the Owens women) are cursed so that any man who they fall in love with will die. Sally is determined not to fall in love and have children because her father died when she was young, and her mum left her and her sister with their aunts due to her grief and she doesn’t want to go through that. Life doesn’t always work out that way though.
While her sister is a bit of a wild child, Sally is the sensible, responsible one who likes to keep things pretty ordinary. She has her little shop, she has her daughters, and she is quite content with all that. Naturally things don’t stay that way, but she impresses herself with how resourceful she can be and the lengths she’ll go to, to protect her sister and the rest of her family.
Sally is a very talented witch and she’s quick-thinking when it comes to magic and potions. I just love how Sally deals with things. Sometimes she bottles up her emotions and pushes people aware because she thinks it’s safer for her, but she has such a big kind heart. She and Gillian are the best sisters I’ve seen on screen for a while and just generally Sally’s relationship with the different members of her family are so strong and important.
Now, onto the battle!
This tradition predates even Christianity's celebration of Easter. Eggs, painted in vibrant colors and adorned with intricate designs, represent rebirth and fertility. They are often used in rituals and exchanged as gifts during the equinox festival. Many pagans also take this time to perform rituals and spells for personal growth and transformation. They may set intentions for the coming months and perform ceremonies to let go of any negative energy or obstacles that may be holding them back. Overall, the March equinox pagan festival is a joyous celebration of nature, balance, and new beginnings. It is a time to honor the Earth, connect with the cycle of seasons, and embrace the energy of growth and renewal..
