CERES

It seems appropriate that the name 'March' stems from the Roman god Mars, the god of war, who was worshipped by countless legions of soldiers in the Roman Empire. But initially, Mars was a Roman god of agriculture and vegetation, protector of crops and animals who was associated with springtime and fertility. However, over time the role of Mars changed as he was given a new position a the warlord.
One whose position has not changed is the Roman goddess of agriculture, Ceres. She is the mother of grain, crops, fertility, and abundance, and is also known as the eternal earth mother.
The name Ceres is derived from root words which mean ' to grow', 'create', and 'increase' and the word 'cereal' is a relative form of her name.
March is a great time to increase your knowledge and creative power by working with nature's gifts. Plan a small garden and plant a few seeds as a part of a new development in your life. Learning simple agricultural skills will maximize our likelihood for survival and optimal health, so why not take up the staff and give it a try. You'll be surprised at what you can do!
