So Springtime means rejuvenation to me - a time for cleansing and renewal. In with the new, out with the old, and renewal of everything else.

I do a lot of cleaning; both literally and spiritually.

Well timed for this is the annual Body Spirit Soul Expo held in my city. Attending each year has become a bit of a ritual towards kicking things off for the year to come. I went yesterday with a great deal of happy anticipation. I was a bit disappointed by the rather small size (only 30 exhibitors) but nevertheless there were still things to spend my money on

I found some stones for calming (I am always drawn towards green like aventurine, Moss agate, and jade). I also found some smudging supplies.

I am not one for the healers and card readers but there is always something of interest to me to be found amongst the sea of such things.

So my question I guess is are there things you do or look forward to as a kick off to your own Springtime renewal?

I'm kind of running behind this spring, because I've been so feeling so low energy. The Expo you went to sounds like it was wonderful. I like the stones you mentioned, but probably the one's I'm most drawn to are lapis lazuli, selenite and rose quartz. I look forward to seeing our tulips and daffodils bloom. They're both starting to come up and I can't wait to see the blossoms. Oh, and lilacs too, though it will be a while before they start to bloom.

Ooh, I love this idea!!! What a great thread to start. I don't have any annual ritual, but I do love and embrace the whole concept of Spring renewal. Maybe I will do a smudge and clearing of my house... I have sage and me and my fiance burn it occasionally to clear the apartment of any negative energies. TY for this!

So this isn't just for us earthy types I think it applies to everyone especially what with Easter/Eostre coming up.

I washed my windows this morning. That was a big job - and the floors are smelling of pinesol too. Yeah, Spring has arrived.
