Ancient Spiritual Meaning of the Spring Equinox | Sites, Traditions, Celebrations
We show for the first time how ancient sites across the world, that were aligned to the spring equinox, encode the same spiritual meaning connected to the theme of spiritual resurrection. We first published these ideas in 2011 and they can be found in more detail in our book Ancient Solstice.
In this video I talk about the ancient sites, traditions, and myths of the spring equinox to uncover their deeper spiritual meaning and relevance today.
The spring equinox was one of the largest religious occasions in ancient times and still is. Many ancient cultures throughout the world venerated the sun at the spring equinox. Millions still honor it according to their ancient traditions, and billions celebrate Easter around the time of the spring equinox, although its deeper significance has largely been lost. What is the spiritual meaning of the spring equinox, and why was it so important to ancient people?
In this video, I delve into these questions. I discuss many examples of ancient sites aligned to the equinox, exploring the symbolism contained in some of history’s most enigmatic examples, including Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the Sphinx and Giza Plateau in Egypt, Knowth in Ireland, Monk’s Mound in Ohio, Tikal in Guatemala and Nebelivka Temple in the Ukraine. I talk about how its celebration was an important part of an ancient religion of the sun that spread to different parts of the world in prehistory. I also look at the deeper spiritual meaning of Easter, the world’s biggest celebration held around the spring equinox.
This video is part of a series.

ORIGINS OF ANCIENT RELIGION — The Religion of the Sun
Why do so many ancient religions share similarities and why did they all venerate the sun? In this video, I give an overview of how a lost global ancient civilization of pyramid and megalith builders practiced a religion of the sun, which became the basis of many of today's religions.
Vast numbers of megalithic sites across the ancient world align to the sun at the solstices and equinoxes, including Stonehenge, the Great Sphinx of Egypt, the statues of Easter Island, the temple at Angkor Wat, and Machu Picchu in Peru. And so many chief ancient deities were symbolized by the sun and revered as sun gods, including Viracocha and Osiris. Even today billions of people still celebrate the solstice.
Thank you to my husband Mark, whose spiritual knowledge made this video possible.
