Happy Nowruz in advance

[David Dalton]

Happy Nowruz (Persian New Year) coming up at spring
equinox, tomorrow at 6:54 p.m. here in Newfoundland.

From google:
"Nowruz has been celebrated in Iran and the Persian
diaspora for more than 3,000 years. Its roots are
as a feast day in Zoroastrianism, a religion practiced
in ancient Persia that viewed the arrival of spring
as a victory over darkness."

So, anyway, I am hoping for positive change for Iranian
women and girls tomorrow, or at the latest by the
new/dark moon on the following day. You can follow
my progress on alt.religion.druid .

It is a very auspicious time for balance and new
beginnings due to the near correlation of the
equinox, marking the solar new year, and a new
moon, which is a common phase at which a lunar
new year might begin.

But since I am pagan, Happy Ostara!

And the tale of the goddess turning a bird into a
hare that lays coloured eggs could I think be related
to the optical illusion where a picture could be
viewed as a duck or a rabbit, e.g.

"To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
An' asked if I was hired, wages I required
'Till I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dublin
One two three four five

Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!"

And I just noted that Ramadan began with the early waxing
crescent, which I observed for the first time this lunar month
almost seven hours ago.
