Just a reminder, next week is the Spring Equinox. In the Pagan tradition we call that Ostara. It is a time of new beginnings.

(And to my friends in the Southern Hemisphere it is Mabon, the Autumn/Fall Equinox. You are in our thoughts and hearts as well.)

143. Dost know how to write, dost know how to read,
dost know how to paint, dost know how to prove,
dost know how to ask, dost know how to offer,
dost know how to send, dost know how to spend?
144. Better ask for too little than offer too much,
like the gift should be the boon;
better not to send than to overspend.

Thus Odin graved ere the world began;
Then he rose from the deep, and came again.
-Hávamál, The Words of Odin the High One
from the Elder or Poetic Edda
(Sæmund's Edda)
quick reminder that it’s ok to say that you love reading and that reading is your passion without reading 30+ books in a year. if you connect with books and love the power of the written word, you’re bookish. you don’t need to justify your love of reading.
