Spring Equinox

March 18th - 23rd

 ( or whatever day the Equinox falls on for you)

Spring equinox is when the sun is directly over the equator and night and day are equal.  The Spring Equinox is all about Resurection from the dead of winter, Duality of nature is strong at this time. This also is the point were Satanism and most occult practices lose some of thier dark and gloomy aesthetic to a point. This is a powerful day for there is only two equinoxes in the year, but not as powerful as the solstice's.
