Description:

Spring Equinox, new beginnings, baby chicks, bunnies, flowers coming up. Yep, Spring is definitely in the Air.

For this swap, send something to your partner that says "new beginnings" to you. That can be a decorated egg, a packet of seeds, an ATC or postcard with a drawing of a baby creature on it, a fertility God/dess, or anything else you can think of that says 'new beginnings' to you.

As pagans, we accept the Natural Order of things, and this theme does lend itself to XX rated items. So, if you aren't prepared to get a small crystal penis or something similar in the mail, then maybe you shouldn't sign up for this one. This is SENDER'S CHOICE.

Please include a note as to why this particular item says "New Beginnings" to you, especially if the meaning may be a bit obscure.

Include your name, Swap-Bot ID, date, etc. with the swap so we don't have to hunt all over for who to rate when it arrives.

Have fun with this one! Tis the Season!

EDIT: Please message your partner first before sending any XX-type things, (even if it's just a small horned god representation or a little crystal penis to represent the male half of fertility) just to make sure you don't accidentally offend someone. Thank you.

EDIT: Also, if there is something you would prefer NOT to receive, please leave a message in the comments here. (And, check the comments before sending something). Thanks again.

ANOTHER EDIT: I had no idea what a can of worms I was opening with this swap! This swap is about making new beginnings, like baby chicks, new plants, etc. It is also about the fertility that creates these new beginnings. Everything in Nature has male and female parts, including plants.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with a little rose quartz penis (in fact, I have a few in my houseplants), but to each their own. Ask first.

I also do not see anything wrong with lingam stones to represent the female. Again, ask first.

Fertility is a part of creating new beginnings, so I see nothing wrong with a fertility Goddess or a fertility ritual. (Fertility does NOT have to mean having a human baby!) Everything is fertile in the spring. That is what this swap is all about. But, again, ask before sending.

Having said all that, I do NOT condone unsolicited pictures of people's genitals in this swap, and was frankly extremely surprised to see that someone thought this is what was implied.

If there are any other questions, shoot them my way, and I will make another edit to clarify the meaning of New Beginnings even more.

Excited for this swap! Nothing explicit for my swap please :) I tend towards kitchen witchery and fiber crafts in my practice, but I will be happy to get anything you send!

Kindly asking to not receive anything fertility related. Thank you in advance ❀️

Update to my comment: please no fertility being perceived as human birth/pregnancy etc; Everything else is totally fine! As somebody who has uterus issues and no kids, depictions of such can be triggering.
