“It’s time to shake off the old and start anew . This is one of the reasons spring cleaning is so popular. Cleaning out the old and making way for the new always helps to give us a renewed sense of purpose.”
― Llewellyn Publications, Ostara: Rituals, Recipes & Lore for the Spring Equinox

“These are flowers that come from a very plain-looking bulb that must be planted deep in the ground and weather the cold winter in order to bloom in the spring. They remind me of the fact that growing into yourself isn’t always a pretty process, and that’s okay. I look at bulb flowers as a metaphor to point out that sometimes we become strong, beautiful, and vibrant from being surrounded by mud and facing the cold with grace and steadfastness.”
