The arrival of the Spring Equinox brings us Coventina, a Celtic Goddess of oceans, lakes, streams, ponds and rivers. She is a protector of water and their inhabitants. The image depicts her naked, rising from the ocean with rainbow coloured streams of water flowing out of and into her. In her right hand she holds a cup and in her left hand an exotic bird. She wears a shell crown on her head and another shell is attached with a golden chain.
Coventina asks us to cleanse and detox our body and mind from chemicals and harsh thoughts. Listen to your body’s messages as you move throughout the day. Since we are made up water, Coventina reminds us to stay hydrated so that we can stay in balance. Her rainbow streams of water reminds us to keep our chakras clean, this will help us to focus. Since she is associated with environmentalism she may direct you to take better care of your home, your outdoor as well as your indoor space can benefit from a space clearing. Wishing wells were made in Coventina’s honour, and she may ask you to create your own wishing well to make one or several wishes to manifest your deepest dreams.
With the Spring Equinox arriving we enter Aries realm and the start the astrological new year. Since the Ram rules the head, we can work with Coventina’s cleansing directives purify our thoughts. This will aid us to focus on the higher purpose of our mission in the current world events, and inspire us to re-think our intentions to serve the greater whole.

It is uplifting and cleansing and brings a buzz of a joy. Rutilated quartz helps with manifesting since it connects your wishes to your soul-source. It is a wonderful crystal to meditate with and it brings messages of clarity and comfort. It is useful when wanting to cleanse, connect and tune up the chakras by connecting you to a deeply healing dimension of angelic energy.
For the healing ceremony, lie down in a comfortable position. Place the Rutilated quartz on your third eye. Take a few deep breaths and relax.
