‘Rosicrucian New Year’

     

Uraltes Chymisches Werk by Abraham Eleazer, 1760.

Vernal Equinox will arrive in several hours—12:57 p.m. local time—but if you’re at work, perhaps it’s better you do not countdown those final ten seconds and let loose the confetti and noisemakers.

Maybe read Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “The Sensitive Plant” on your lunch hour. Excerpted:

“And the Spring arose on the garden fair,

Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;

And each flower and herb on Earth’s dark breast

Rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.”

Read all about it here.

Happy New Year.
