Ostara

At Ostara, the Vernal Equinox, the light is equal to the darkness

March 21st, Ostara may have represented many complex, interrelated beliefs to our ancestors. The sun, or Maiden Goddess, was reborn from its winter banishment to thaw the earth, making it ready for the plow, or handfastings at Beltane. People felt reborn as well, escaping from close, snow-bound confinement into the new warmth. The Gods and Goddesses of fertility were active once again in the land, causing new growth everywhere. Ostara is the brightest and most joyful ceremony of the year. It is the time in which we celebrate the renewed presence of the Gods and Goddesses among us, and their marriages which ensure the fertility of the land.



Title the page, you can write it in English or Witches Alphabet. Spelling either Ostara or Ēostre can also be used. Whichever you prefer.

To start this page, draw an Egg or Flower.

We are not writing a Ritual, some things should be taught and not written down. But if you choose you can record a ritual after the rest.

For detailed information read here.

First and Foremost it is a feast and celebration


Make notes on your Altar, herbs you use. Deities.Incense recipe or Anointing oil.

For me the strongest connections to Ostara are Buttercups, Crocus, and sweets. But that won't be the same for everyone. Put some thought into it. Here is another post that is a great reference.
