Tip Toe Through the Tulips

Daddofils, tulips and delicate apple blossoms are the floral elements that are a part of the Spring Solstice (Equinox) Witch, along with the animal company of hares and lil robins. She breathes in the fresh fragant spring air, a time when the earth blooms in its rebirth and renewal. She's the archetype of Goddess Persephone, who returns to the earth from the underworld (otherworld), and thus, is associated with spring and the seeds of the fruits of the fields, then being a vegetation goddess. A vegetation goddess is a nature deity whose disappearance and reappearance, or life, death and rebirth, embodies the growth cycle of plants ("el círculo verde de la savia sabia"). A vegetation deity is often a fertility deity. Greek Goddess Persephone (also called Kore) is called Proserpina (from Latin "proserpere", which means "to emerge") in Roman mythology, whose story is the basis of a myth of springtime.
