This is the first of the four ‘sky points’ in our Wheel of the Year and it is when the sun does a perfect balancing act in the heavens. This is the point of the year when once again day and night are equal – 12 hours. The equinox, (the Latin word for Equinox means time of equal days and nights) is only the very moment the sun crosses the equator-

The return of the sun and the promise of spring has always been a cause for celebration.

At the North Pole the sun will blaze for the next 6 months, here the days will elongate. Across the northern hemisphere, across the centuries, our ancestors have rejoiced in celebration at the end of winter. Globally, it is a time of unity between the northern and southern hemispheres as our days hang in perfect balance with one another. Stonehenge’s connection with the stars has ensured it as a hub for equinox celebrations and to this day the celebrations continue- why not join in.

For the ancients, as well as today the celebrations welcomed the spring and the end of a harsh winter; this was the time when crops were resewn and the people celebrated the triumph of light over dark, of life over death. The celebrations have always been full of hope and joy – it is even foretold that as the wind and the weather are at the vernal equinox, so they will be for the next few months.

The return of the sun, of new light and new life was cause to celebrate and to prepare for the hard work of summer harvest. The ancients used various elixirs, draughts and cordials to help to cleanse the blood and purify the spirit in preparation. Most importantly, the spring equinox marked the coming together of various tribes to create new ties in the face of the new sun; a rebirth for relationships. To this day, the spring equinox is a time of unity. As the earth races through earth at 66,000 mph, our daylight hangs in perfect balance. Despite the chaos of the universe our world sits in cosmic peace. This balance is reflected in the celebrations at Stonehenge, where people of all faiths, from all around the world, astronomers as well as Druids, appreciate the beauty of our planet in unison.

From the time of the Celtic Druids, Druidism has had a strong bond with the natural world as well as the cosmos.
