Tourbi,
Lately I've been feeling as if I'd just been born into a completely new world I'd never even imagined before--so much to learn and understand, with a completely different way of seeing things. I know VERY little about Paganism, but, the basics seem to hold an attraction for me. I'll take your suggestions.
Damn--I'm 46, and I feel like I have about 70 years' worth of reading to do these days!
Thank you!

Well, may I share with you that tomorrow is Spring. Ostara.
It is a time to celebrate the warming of the planet, fertility, the plants are growing, the bees are awakening to start visiting the flowers, the animals are propagating, the crops are growing in the fields The earth is awakening. It is a time to celebrate and honor the growth and the fertility of the various plants, animals and birds, etc.
It is part of the wheel. The wheel turns. It doesn't matter what you do, it doesn't what you say. You honor the process, you celebrate that it is happening. Thank the Goddess for it happening. Thank Her for all she gives, thank Her for the Blessings she bring us. Look for Green Man in the plants, be grateful for his Blessings and the abundance he brings.
Thank the earth for this wonderful home She provides us and the elements for coming together to make all this that we enjoy so very much.
Dance a happy dance with the Nature you have just given gratitude.
Chant a chant while you dance in happiness.
I'm the voice that sings in you
I create the world anew
I give birth and I give shape
I can dance the world awake

Love yourself and all that is.
Honor all that you have and what will come to you.
A Blessed and Happy Ostara to you and yours.
Blessed Be
