March is not gentle. It is a threshold month.

In this episode, we step into the wild pulse of the Blood Worm Moon, feel the rising sap of Ostara, and honour the precise balance of the Spring Equinox — that razor-thin moment where light and dark stand eye to eye.

We explore the folklore and energetic signatures of Ash and Alder, trees of protection, transition, fire and water. Ash, the world-tree bridge between realms. Alder, the quiet warrior of wetlands, bleeding red when cut — a guardian of liminal spaces.

Expect reflections on:– The deeper meaning of the Blood Worm Moon (and why it is more about thaw and emergence than drama)– The alchemy of balance at the Equinox– Pagan and folk threads woven through Ostara traditions– Tree lore for grounding and strength– Navigating the surge of spring energy without burning yourself out

March is mud and blossom. It is equal light and shadow. It is the month that asks: What is ready to rise?

Bring a candle. Bring your breath. The wheel turns.
