It starts for me just after Imbolc, I get that itch. That twinge of restlessness and that eager feeling every time the sun peeks through the clouds. Spring is near! Mentally I exclaim, “There’s only about 6 more weeks of frigid temps, coupled with mountains of ice and snow! Hooray!”
When the feeling begins to take hold of me, I need to make myself busy. I need to begin planning my spring activities right away. There is so much to do, I often find myself feeling overwhelmed and perplexed. However, it isn’t a bad kind of overwhelm, instead it is fun and exhilarating to consider the possibilities.
For our Earthy Thursday feed today, we have five stories (and one lovely photo) about Gaia, our lovely planet and Earth goddess. A double rainbow; a deadly garden; rooftop gardening; butterfly conservation; climate change evolution; and small farm families.
Had to share this great double rainbow photo from a sacred place of polytheist interest.
Welcome to Autumn, Pagan Beagle fans! Today's post includes a photo essay on the people who marched at the Climate Change protest in NYC; a video that advocates using "open source" tactics in climate change campaigns; lock-out of Big Oil from UN climate talks?; urban gardens rule; climate change deniers meet their match.
It's Earthy Thursday and we've got a double-handful of Good News stories of our lovely Earth: happiness in dirt, marvelous mushrooms, dark sky protection, green New Mexico and cute critters. Enjoy your Thursday!

OK, this is funny.But could we [i]please[i] stop using that word (or, worse, "Muggles")?Having a down-putting term for people who aren't a part of you...
