Ostara
Ostara is the spring equinox, a time of balance. The days and nights are equal. It is a time that reminds us to bring our lives into balance. It is also truly spring. Winter is over. Hyacinth, daffodils and primroses are blooming. Trees are greening up. Fertility is rampant (it is no coincidence that bunnies and eggs are associated with Ostara and Easter!). Ostara is a time when we thank the dark time for the rest and the lessons learned, but it is now time to energize, to gear up for action, growth, fullness. It is all potential, both in the world around us and in our daily lives.

Crossroads Tabernacle Church is pleased to announce that Principal Clergy and Founding High Priest Robert Keefer has been appointed to serve on the Michigan Department of Corrections Chaplain’s Advisory Council. This is the first time that Wiccan clergy has been appointed to this position in the state. For his two-year term, Robert will meet with clergy from other faiths and lend his expertise in Wiccan spirituality to advise the Department of Corrections on requests made by inmates and staff, work to ensure equal access to materials and worship space as appropriate for all Pagan and other Earth-Based religions, as well as make it possible for other Pagans to volunteer as faith group leaders in Michigan’s correctional facilities. As a part of the global Aquarian Tabernacle Church, Crossroads is dedicated to providing the religous infrastructure that is taken for granted by other mainstream faiths, but too often lacking in our own. Crossroads Tabernacle Church would like to thank all of those in the Pagan community who support their efforts to serve Wiccans and other Pagans from all walks of life, both in and out of ritual space. |
