Physical Setting & Preparation

Find a place where you can sit comfortably, preferably near a window where the spring light streams in or outdoors where you can feel the vibrant energy of the season. Bring something that represents movement and vitality—perhaps a feather, a small bell, or simply a ribbon that can flutter in the breeze. Sit with your back straight but not rigid, allowing energy to flow freely through your body. Place your hands palms up on your knees in a gesture of receptivity. Take three energizing breaths, inhaling deeply through your nose and exhaling with a gentle sigh, feeling the quickening pulse of spring filling your being as the month of March comes to its completion

Opening Invocation | Fosgladh

Fàilte ort, an t-aon là deug thar fhichead de Mhàrt, là mu dheireadh a' mhìos.(Welcome to you, thirty-first day of March, the final day of the month.)

A' Mhàthair Talamh, tha mi a' faireachdainn gluasad beòthail do spioraid.(Mother Earth, I feel the lively movement of your spirit.)

Air an là seo, tha mi a' fosgladh mo chridhe do dh'ùrachadh an earraich.(On this day, I open my heart to the renewal of spring.)

Close your eyes and visualize the landscape in full spring awakening. See the buds bursting on the trees, unfurling their tender leaves. Notice wildflowers dotting the warming earth with splashes of color. Hear the chorus of birds, the buzz of early insects, the rustle of creatures emerging from winter dormancy. The world pulses with anticipation and activity. You are part of this quickening, this surge of life-force that flows through all beings as the wheel of the year turns toward light and warmth.

Body of the Working | Corp

Tha earrach a' tighinn, agus tha mise ann an staid de dh'iomairt.(Spring is coming, and I am in a state of excitement.)

Mar a tha an saoghal a' dannsa le beatha ùr, tha mo chridhe a' dannsa cuideachd.(As the world dances with new life, my heart dances too.)

A' Mhàthair Talamh, stiùir an lùth seo gu cruthachadh is gluasad.(Mother Earth, guide this energy toward creation and movement.)

If you brought a feather, bell, or ribbon, move it gently, watching its natural response to even the slightest motion. This is how excitement moves through us—responsive to the subtlest stimulus, ready to flow into action.

Visualize yourself standing in a sunlit meadow at the edge of a forest. The grass beneath your feet is vibrant green, dotted with yellow dandelions and white clover. A gentle breeze carries the scent of blossoms and fresh growth. Birds dart overhead, butterflies flutter from flower to flower, and the entire scene is alive with movement and possibility.

Allow yourself to feel the excitement that bubbles up naturally within you. Notice where it manifests in your body—perhaps as a flutter in your stomach, a quickening of your heartbeat, or a tingling in your limbs. This excitement is the same energy that causes seeds to sprout and birds to sing—the primal urge toward life and expression.

The Deep Working | An Obair Dhomhain

A Mhàthair Talamh, tha do bheatha a' brùchdadh annam mar thobar.(Mother Earth, your life wells up in me like a spring.)

Mar a ruitheas an sruthan le dealas an dèidh geamhradh, tha m' iomairt a' ruith.(As the stream runs eagerly after winter, my excitement flows.)

A' Mhàthair, teagaisg dhomh mar a chleachdas mi an lùth seo gu glic.(Mother, teach me how to use this energy wisely.)

Place your hands over your heart, feeling its steady rhythm. The Mother of the Earth knows excitement—the bursting of seeds, the rushing of spring waters, the unfurling of countless leaves. Yet she also knows how to channel this energy, how to direct it toward growth and renewal rather than scattered activity.

Visualize the Earth Mother directing the flow of spring energy throughout the landscape—guiding sap upward through trees, sending roots downward into soil, orchestrating the precise timing of each flower's blooming. Nothing is wasted; nothing is forced. Each surge of excitement serves a purpose in the greater pattern.

Feel the support of the earth beneath you, solid and grounding. Your excitement, like the rushing spring waters, gains power and purpose when it flows between sturdy banks. The Mother Earth teaches you that containment does not diminish energy—it focuses it, making it more effective and transformative.

Afterthought | Smuain Dheiridh

Take a moment to contemplate:

How might I channel my excitement into purposeful creation? What project or relationship in my life could benefit from this surge of springtime energy?

Closing Blessing | Beannachd Dheiridh

A Mhàthair Talamh, taing dhut airson tiodhlac na h-iomairt.(Mother Earth, thank you for the gift of excitement.)

Mar a stiùireas tu sruth an earraich gu cuantan, stiùir mo bheatha gu amasan brìoghmhor.(As you guide the spring streams to oceans, guide my life toward meaningful purposes.)

Tha mi a' giùlan do chomhairle leam, a' Mhàthair, ann an dannsa mo bheatha.(I carry your counsel with me, Mother, in the dance of my life.)

Gun robh beannachd chruthachail na Màthar còmhla rium, an-diugh agus gach latha.(May the creative blessing of the Mother be with me, today and every day.)

Gradually become aware of your surroundings once more. Feel the ground beneath you, supporting your body and anchoring your energy. Listen to the sounds around you. When you are ready, open your eyes, carrying with you the creative excitement of spring, balanced by the wise guidance of the Earth Mother.
