So … I forgot Ostara … the Pagan festival of spring …
In January, I’d planned the whole of the year, organizing blog posts and tutorials and rituals, both irl and online, according to the Moon, the Sun (thus the Pagan festivals) and the Holy MF Spirit …
And here we are, March 20th … and I completely forgot Ostara …
Not only did I just forget to write about it, or film a video prior to it … I just plainly and basically also failed to remember to celebrate it !
Instead I made an appointment to go see my osteopath and have my whole body visited for contractions and pain… and healed of those pains… because I wanted to be in my best possible physical state when I leave for Japan (yes I now… Lucky me!) on April 1st.
So I forgot, I didn’t recall, Thought no more of it, it escaped my mind, I seem to have dismissed it …
Huge pang of guilt …
And I was already organizing in my head how I was going to whip up an altar, quickly checking on internet what color the drape was to be and the candles and …
And my mind started racing about subjects to wite about related to Ostara …
And then I stopped and listened inside: NO ! I can’t be bothered. Today I don’t feel like organizing a ritual AND organizing filming the ritual on top … So … NO !
And again, huge pang of guilt ! And the ginormous amount of discussion that goes on in my heard : but you should, it’s good for your biz to be consistent, and you want to be successful and mostly trustworthy and you HAD SAID that you were going to do something for every festival …
So I forgot AND I felt bad about it.
And yet I seem to have decided to write about the forgetting and still not about Ostara … ?
Do you get it yet ?
What I’m trying to say here ?
There will not be a post or anything related to Ostara today on this blog/site/mind …
Why? Because I forgot. And did something completely different … And am still doing something completely different …
So in this present… NOW… I am not doing a blog post about Ostara. AND I’m not feeling bad, or guilty, or crap …
Why again ?
Because there must be, today, approximately 8000 blog posts (and my math is of course super accurate here!) on Ostara.
Mine would have been the best, needless to say. But would it have been necessary ? I don’t think so!
So why “should” I have written another one ?
Because I “had said” so… because I feel bad and untrustworthy if I don’t keep my word, even if it was only to myself, even if I can’t be bothered today, in my present to do that …
Ha !
Forget it !
And I feel fine because I forgive myself for not doing it, for not being perfect, for forgetting stuff or being sometimes tired and/or lazy … How ?
I’ve written previously about Ho’oponopono, you can read one article here and another here.
Today I’ll show you another tool that I love and that works wonders for forgiveness (among other hings!) . It’s called EFT … You “should” try it ! I’ll write about it some other day, once you’ve actually tried it !
It’s magic!
Go on ! Tap with Brad!
And see you later in the week… maybe I’ll d a post about Ostara!
Sending love light and gratitude
