Normally, spring brings to my mind images of pretty colored Easter eggs, white daisies, and nature's revival. Lately, I've been busy writing a paranormal with a heroine who's an Adept witch, descended from Celts. (Book Two in my series)
While researching Celtic myth and magic, I came across Coventina, goddess of wells and springs, associated with abundance, rebirth and divination. She's depicted as a water nymph, naked and reclining on a leaf surrounded by rippling water or in triple form, holding a vessel and pouring water.
The Celts saw springs as magical places alive with water deities and nymphs. A place of magic and mystery. Offerings, as in coins, brooches, rings and pottery were made to the goddess in exchange for wishes, to enhance powers or make restitution.
Now, spring brings to mind bubbling brooks, water nymphs, moss covered rocks and magic.
What do you envision when you think of spring?

I like the flowers in Spring although we have them year round in Florida. These can be some of our best days with low humidity and temps in the seventies.

Don't ask me why, but my brain (ever the opportunist) began plotting how to find the spot where the Celts offered up their jewels to the goddess. Now that would be a gold mine! Good luck with your books!
